It would appear that I'm the latest victim of this game of tag floating about GameSpot (thank you, clownofpoetry...:P ), so here goes...

1. I can carry a tune in a falsetto that can damn near break glass. It doesn't sound great due to a nose that has been broken (7 times) to the point that the right side doesn't work correctly, but it's on key and I can put some volume into it. This is especially strange because my father sounds like he swallowed Barry White.

2. Keeping with the music theme, I play several musical instruments, bass most proficiently. I can also play just about any brass instrument competently, at least keep a beat on drums, and can plunk a chord or two out on a guitar.

3. I had my driver's license taken away a month after my 21st birthday because I got too many speeding tickets. I've gotten one in the eight-plus years since.

4. I am a massive baseball fan, and in an area overpopulated with St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs fans, I'm a RABID Chicago White Sox fan...have been since I was old enough to know what baseball was. And since there are pictures of me with a wiffle bat wearing a Sox t-shirt at about age 3, I'd say it's been awhile.

5. And finally, I am also a card carrying, banner-waving member of the KISS Army. Feel free to laugh if you like, but Gene Simmons is the reason I picked up a bass in the first place (although as I've gotten older I've grown weary of his self-salesmanship). I chased them all over Illinois and Indiana when they were on their "farewell" tour back in 2000 (I think it was 2000 anyway).

Well, that's it...who to tag...hmmm. How's about waflerevolution, rudyroundhead, totalgridlock, duncanr2n, and _bear. If you wanna do it, great. If you don't or have already been tagged, that's cool too. I was just picking names out of my ear.
