Once you have been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to "notes" under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people, then click publish.)
1) I am named after my father, Charles Barrett Porterfield, who went by Barry and Charlie. Chuck is the nickname that they address me by.
2) I was a member of the Salvation Army for 10 and half years and was a preacher, Sunday school teacher, and a missionary.
3) #2 is why I am now an atheist and an advocate for secularism and skepticism.
4) I went to a professional wrestling school.
5) Of all my tattoos I have two portraits: famed escapologist and psychic debunker Harry Houdini and the little girl from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.
6) The first movie that I threaded by myself in a projection booth was IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (in 3-D!) at Cinfest Film Theatre.
7) No candidate that I have ever voted for in a Presidential election since 2000 has garnered more than 5% of the popular vote, much less won.
8) I go back and forth on the Brenda Lee/Patsy Cline issue.
9) I've swam in the actual Black Lagoon with The (underwater) Creature himself.
10) So you think you were a nerd in high school? I got knocked out playing kick ball.
11) Since I'm literate and have been to a post-Soviet nation I can tell you this: communism is fucking awful.
12) I lost my virginity a few years ago in a cemetary on the 4th of July.
13) My favorite holidays are Halloween (costumes and candy), Xmas (presents and family), Thanksgiving (food), and Independence Day (patriotism and #12).
14) Although I'm no Jack Lalane, I used to weigh 260+ pounds and the heaviest thing I lifted was the Bible, so I may be in the best shape of my life.
15) I am an avid reader of books primarily of scientific, social, political and autobiographical nature. I'd highly recommend David Lee Roth's CRAZY FROM THE HEAT.
16) I didn't have alcohol until I was 23 and drugs until a year later. I recently stopped using said materials. I waited a month before telling my mom.
17) I now perform non-religious wedding ceremonies and have spoken at funerals. Which means if you're an atheist or agnostic and need somebody I can marry ya and bury ya!
18) I watched all three LORD OF THE RINGS movies in a row in a movie theater in Columbus, GA with Shane, Richard, Calu, and Creepy Kenny.
19) While hosting NITRATE 88 on WRAS I had the opportunity to interview Herschell Gordon Lewis, Jack Hill, Kevin Smith, Ted Raimi, Jeffery Combs and Fred Olen Ray.
20) Businesses come and go but I still miss the hummus from TORTILLAS and the mashed potatoes at THE CABBAGETOWN GRILL.
21) Last year I fulfilled my lifelong dream of seeing Penn & Teller perform The Bullet Catch live (and I can't wait to do it again.)
22) In college I double majored in Film & Video and Religious Studies which probably means that I should be a pornographer.
23) I was recently diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome which is great because A) it's such a nebulous diagnosis who knows if it's correct? and B) I get a condition that starts with 'ass.'
24) I plan on taking my mom to the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas in the next year or two.
25) I have the death sentence in 12 systems.
