Mitch Joel of Twist Image had a somewhat revealing post this week and decided to turn it into a digital chain letter. Here is my response to the Five Things Meme. I broke the rules and listed 10. I'm such a rebel. Can you spot the fake ones?
1. My kids and my wife are my life. Emma 5, and Ben 2, and Andrea 29 ; )
2. I have been playing guitar since 15, but am still very shy about playing in front other people.
3. I collect wine – red only. Well sort of. If collect means keep and never drink then I am certainly not a collector.
4. I’ve never broken a bone or had to be in the hospital.
5. I am rather quiet and soft spoken, a man of few words.
6. I was the inspiration for LonelyGirl15. It was all based on my video series, Loser36.
7. The first time I was ever quoted in a national newspaper (The Financial Post in mid-90's) I managed muck it up by sparking the anger of the Premier of New Brunswick. The Premier’s office called and wrote me in response to a rather careless statement about NB's ability to sustain growth in an industry sector that I used to work in. Please note, this was before my media training!
8. Winston Churchill and Mark Twain are huge heros of mine.
9. I've seen The Godfather I and II over 20 times (each).
10. I spent nearly half the year of grade six with my desk in the hall. I was a bad boy!
Now, I am tagging Mish, Tony, C.C. , Mack, Julia, Brendan, Donna, and Kathryn.
Happy tales.

If ever there was a one-liner that deserved it's own full Blog posting.
Finally! I was feeling a little left out for not being tagged by anyone. :)
But, I thought we were suppose to be telling the truth here. *grin*
Great read all around. Now I have to come up with mine and you took one since I have yet to break a bone either.
Glad you liked that one. Hehehe..
I thought I'd throw in a couple of fictional ones to keep folks on their toes! There are only 2 items of make believe. One should be obvious to anyone. The other very obvious to anyone who knows me or has ever met me!
Glad I could tag you C.C. Now lets see if the AdMonkey himself down in Texas drops by and plays along.
Too bad Leesa tagged me before you did. Hmmmm... your list is certainly intriguing. Who woulda pegged you for a bad boy?
I was an absolute terror as a child. My poor parents!
I should also mention that I didn't come up with this idea. I got pinged by Anna Farmary over at The Engaging Brand ;)
Thanks for the mention. I noticed the meme is all over the place. I wonder who started it?
Of course mine will be funny, Michael...I have a pedigree and a reputation to live up to. That's why yours are so respectable...and pay a dividend by going past the principal of merely five.
Loser36 was brilliant and way ahead of its time. But at least you stuck with your values and never sold out!!! ;)
I FINALLY got around to answering this!
