As most of you probably already know... there is some serious blog tag (very similar to that of an email chain-letter) going on throughout the SEM community. Blogger's are being asked to share 5 details about their life in which most people wouldn't already know about. Last Friday I was tagged by Lisa Barone, who was actually tagged by Graywolf, and now it's my turn to play.

First of all, I'm not one that typically participates in these kinds of things, simply because I hate the entire concept of a chain letter, but this little meme has been some good reading. I've been shocked at many of the responses. I guess it's because I've only had the privilege of knowing most of you through your Blog or from meetings at conferences, that I forgot that you all have a life outside of search. I mean who would have thought that Stuntdubl was a defensive tackle for his High School Football team or that Jim Boykin collects famous people's hair (dude... seriously, that's sort of creepy). I surely wouldn't have.

And with that, here are 5 things you probably did't know about me:

1) I've only had 2 jobs thus far in my life... granted I'm only 23, but I thought it was still worth mentioning. In addition to my current position at All Web Promotion, I also worked for Wal-Mart retail. I worked in the Sporting Goods department for over 4 years and learned lots in that period of time... and not just about guns and fishing poles, but about life as well.

2) My girlfriend Jackie, who I actually met while working at Wal-Mart, has been in Beta for a little of 6 years now (dating... for you non-techies out there). I imagine that it won't be too long before she moves out of Beta and up to a 1.0 status.

3) I have two pet leopard geckos named Kale and Klohe who live in a fish tank / terrarium. They eat live crickets, which I must admit, is pretty fun to watch. I also have a little white Maltese named "Baby" who has to be the most pampered dog ever.

4) My head was once engulfed in flames. True story! It was late, and a couple of my friends and I decided to throw burgers out on my parent's gas grill. After a few attempts at starting the grill with the built in igniter, I switched to using a grill-lighter. Well, as it turns out, the gas had quickly made its way to the top of the grill and sure enough when I went to light it, a giant ball of flames came over me. It literally left me rolling around on the ground.

5) During my senior year of High School I was suspended 5 days for telling a pre-school teacher to F-off (well, actually I told her multiple times to do so... thanks to some encouraging peer pressure from my good friend Greg. Thanks Greg!). I know... I know... I am a terrible, terrible person. To make such a long story very short, I was retaliating from a comment she made about me looking "retarded" (her words, not mine) in an old year book. Just my opinion: I don't think she, being an educator, should be calling any student retarded.

Now who am I going to tag? Let see... Ummm... I tag: Kid Disco, Michael Roebuck, Mr. SEO, Rob Snell, and Jill Whalen.

For you other readers out there, what is something that most people don't know about you? Feel free to comment, I'd love to read your thoughts.
