Agnes Varnum (the wonderful documentary film blogger behind Doc It Out and pal of mine from the True/False Film Festival) has ‘tagged‘ me to play the 8 Random Things Meme Game, which, truth be told, is kinda like those silly MySpace survey bulletins do when they’re bored at work, but a little bit cooler ‘cuz it’s about MEME! I’m up for it. Here it goes:

Rules:
1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged write their own blog post about their eight things and include these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and that they should read your blog.

8 Things about Mark, randomly selected:

  1. My first concert ever was The Beach Boys on their Kokomo Tour. Oh yeah!
  2. I’m way into this drink: 3 parts sparkling water, 1 part 100% pure cranberry juice – oh yeah!
  3. I always name my cars. My first car was Sparky. My first blog post ever was about him. Now, I drive Lil’ Red, a 1980 BMW 320i. He rulez, too.
  4. I never lived in one place longer than two years during my 20’s. I’m tired of moving.
  5. My first pet was a turtle named Jeffrey. My second pet was a turtle named Jeffrey. My third pet was a hamster named Jeffrey. Hmmm… Maybe I was like this kid.
  6. The first CD I ever owned was Nirvana’s Nevermind. The last CD I ever bought was Pissed Jeans Hope for Men, from the band, at a gig here in Philly.
  7. I’ve been to nearly every single National Park in America. And 46 of 50 States. Hawaii, Montana, North Dakota and Vermont remain. I’ve got to savor those.
  8. I’m a serial Partial Continuous Attention practitioner. I’m wrote most of this blog post while listening to a discussion about mobile devices and blogging and Twittering other people sitting in the room.

Okay, now I’m tagging you, dear friends from BlogPhiladelphia!

  • Beach Boys Kokomo tour was my first too...at the Allentown Fairgrounds! We convinced our music teacher that year that we should sing it in the spring concert. A chorus of 5th and 6th graders singing Kokomo would've probably found its way into Dante's Inferno were he writing today.

  • Hahahah, I like turtles. Brilliant.

  • J - I knew you would like that zombie turtle kid! How awesome, huh?

    A - Those are great states, yeah. I'm going to savor them, tho. Can't rush 'em. Might honeymoon in Hawaii this fall, we'll see.

  • M- You are missing the best states! I've been to all four and had life-altering experiences in each (as opposed to the many others I have been to, but I'd have to think hard about which are missing - Alaska, notably). Great 8 things. Thx for gettin' down with the meme. A.

  • when kokomo was on the radio i told my parents that i wanted that song played at my funeral because i love it so much.

    i also cannot believe:
    that kid who likes turtles. (holy crap that was funny)
    that continuous partial attention is a defined term.
