The man behind the curtain

Ah. I have been tagged again, and I am a-feared. You see, this tag, coming as it did from Gazing Into the Abyss, has the definite potential of frightening away all six of my readers. Yes, you guessed it: I’ve been chosen to show my face.

Now, before you run screaming from the room, consider this: all you need do is keep your mouse hovering over the ‘home’ button in your browser. Thus, if you see something that you’d rather not, you need only click your mouse button and be transported to wherever your home page is (mine is Blackle, in case you were wondering.)

So, without further ado:

Okay, now that’s out of the way, I suppose I must move on to the interview portion of this meme. (Must they always be so much work?)
Blog title: Irrelevant Cheetah
Description: Just another writer, navel-gazing and offering his view on things
Why “wolf”?: I started using Wolf instead of Wolfram around seventh grade. I got tired of hearing all of the possible ways to mispronounce Wolfram.
Name: Wolfram. I am named after the thirteenth-century German poet-knight, Wolfram von Eschenbach, best known (if at all) for his epic poem, Parsival.
Country: USA
Occupation: Right now I am a data processor for an oilfield services company. It’s really nothing more than the intellectual equivalent of brick-laying, but it pays the bills.
Email: wolf at wolframdonat dot com.
Birthday: March 23 (see if you can guess the year)
Favorite color: Green
Favorite drink: Ice-cold Harp lager, on tap
Favorite fruit: Jack on Will and Grace.
Favorite dessert: Cheesecake
Hobbies: I have so many varied interests it’s hard to select two or three and call them ‘hobbies.’ I know if it’s related to computers or the internet, I’m probably waist-deep in it. I really enjoy writing, and photography, and writing music, and model rockets, and I admit the fact that I’m an adrenaline junkie.
Some of the blogs I know that have posted pics of me: None that I know of. Most bloggers I know are pretty smart cookies.

Now to tag my fellows and hope they still talk to me:
Montucky
Pinhole
WordVixen
All Over the Bored
The usual rules apply: Post a short article and include your photo. If you already have a pic online somewhere, get creative with a new one. Next, include a link to the others who have displayed their pic, or include their pic in your post, adding a reference to it.

And the brave ones who have already risen from blognonymity:

The final step is that if you do link back to me, let me know and I’ll show you some link love as well. Everybody loves link love.

    Thanks for playing! Good to see you as well. Nice to meet a fellow musician. You should check out Seiche’s blog (last link before mine on that list, also on my post near the top since he tagged me). He has just posted a song he wrote and is looking for feedback from other musicians and songwriters.

    Thanks for visiting my blog. I’ve enjoyed reading yours as well.

    Hey, you’re cute! Of course, that’s coming from someone who says the same thing about Boy George… Take that as you will. Funny thing is, I always pictured you as a 55 year old man with gray hair… I’ll get mine up after I get home. :)

    Wolfgang: I have read a little of Seiche’s blog and I like what I’ve seen so far. I’ll have to check out the song he wrote.
    Wordvixen: Aww, shucks! So now I’m picturing myself as a 55 year old Boy George with gray hair, and that picture is going to keep me up nights, even if I didn’t have insomnia already.

    Bwahahahaha! Use it in your book. Even if it’s a dream sequence, that image could rival a Stephen King novel. But I totally want a stage pass to filming if they make it into a movie.

    Oooh, and just about have my post finished. (would have been done sooner, but hubby and I watched Blazing Saddles- I think it’s a fair enough excuse)

    Don’t worry about me never speaking to you…you now have tens of thousands of brick-layers after your hide.

    WordVixen: Mel Brooks is indeed a good excuse, for just about anything, as a matter of fact.
    Pinhole: I have nothing bad to say about brick-laying. It’s good, honest work. It’s just rather repetitive work that doesn’t require much deep thought, wouldn’t you agree?

  7. Pinhole says:
    August 4, 2007 at 7:15 pm

    You could be right, but I’ve seen some rather intricate brick work. By the way, mine’s here.

    It was relatively painless, after all. But, get your scalpel ready, anyway.

    Perfect, Wolf! You look exactly the way that someone named after a thirteenth-century German poet-knight should look! And my little world continues to rotate on schedule… or it would, except that Vixen’s gone and evoked the name of Boy George, so now all I can think about is middle-aged men with too much eyeliner…

    Got here from Wolfgang’s blog - what’s wrong with blokes in their 50’s with grey hair? ;)

  10. wolf says:
    August 5, 2007 at 9:54 am

    Jen: Thank you! I’m proud of my namesake, and I keep meaning to do more research on him. There’s not a whole lot of info - might be a book worth writing, eh?
    Laurie: Absolutely nothing, as long as it’s not Boy George. Every other grey-haired man in their fifties probably looks distinguished, but I don’t think B.G. will be able to pull it off.
    Thanks for visiting!

    Hi Wolf,

    Pinhole tagged me after you tagged him. I’ve linked back to you here, placing all of the blame where it belongs…. on you.

  12. wolf says:
    August 5, 2007 at 7:43 pm

    Hi, believin! Thanks for playing. I can’t keep up with everybody that’s been tagged anymore, but it’s fun to try. And yes, it’s okay to blame me for this one. I did get Pinhole, after all.
    Good to see you!

    Thank you for the link love ;)

    Its amazing how this list comes around.

    You’re welcome, Dennis. Good to see you, and thanks for visiting!

    You write that Wolfram book; I’ll be the hard-nosed editor you curse in your sleep. Deal?

  16. wolf says:
    August 6, 2007 at 2:50 pm

    Jen, I’ll give it some serious thought. Do you have some pull in the editorial world at all?

  17. MissPriss says:
    August 11, 2007 at 12:51 am

    Well, well, well…aren’t you the little hottie. (No Boy George, but then not many are) So now I’m wondering from the “About Me” section of your blog…boxers or briefs?

    Kidding!! I’m kidding.

    But hasn’t your mother warned you about strangers and the Internet?

  18. wolf says:
    August 11, 2007 at 9:11 am

    Aw, shucks… No, I’ll never be Boy George, and that’s ok with me. After all of these comments, though, I might be tempted to make him my mascot or something.
    As far as strangers go, I don’t worry too much. There are people far more interesting (and better-looking) to stalk, believe me.

    Hair Loss Prevention and Remedies available…

    Can you make out with this scenario? Either you’re taking a shower or brushing your hair or you notice that your hair is falling out rather more than normal. The first question that springs to mind is “How can I stop further hair loss?”…
