OK, I’ve done a thing or two in my life that I can look upon with pride. I have kids, for instance. That’s pretty good. Also I have a legion of ZZ Top fans who hang on my every word and follow me to the bathroom and stuff. That’s a little unsettling, but I’ll never lack for barbecue.
Anyway, I thought my life was pretty full before, but nothing could have prepared me for this.
I’m linked on Ronnie James Dio’s Wikipedia page !!
I know this may inspire insane jealousy: “Anandamide’s blog isn’t half as good as mine, I should be linked on Dio’s Wikipedia page, not him”. Some of you doubting Thomases may not even believe it’s true. Well, here it is, go see for yourselves. I’m in the trivia section, in the item about Cortland, New York.
Others of you may think that this awesome benchmark of success is the result of sinister forces. I’ve heard you whispering…”Anandamide sold his soul to get on the Dio page”. I’m not saying that’s true, but here’s one rather strange fact. The greatest single number of hits this blog has received was on November 15th, 2007. The number of hits received? 666.
Coincidence? Judge for yourself……

YOU are the man on the silver mountain.
Can an Anandamide link on REO Speedwagon’s page be far behind?!!
You are freakin’ awesome!
I am not. I have neither Wiki-links, nor children, nor legions of ZZ Top fans hitting my page.
Why go on?
Shouldn’t someone that goes by his first and middle name, like Ronnie James, be a country-western singer?
Chris,
Yes, or a seriel killer.
I’ve always used Dio as an example of why I’m glad they didn’t have CDs when I was in high school. I’d hate to still own some of the stuff I listened to back then. (But at least it helps me appreciate things like that one Tenacious D tune about RJD.)
Are you linked under the webster.com’s “homoeroticism” entry?
Elizabeth: devil horns !!!!
Beth: that’s how I was too, before I went down to the crossroads…..
Chris: This reminds me of this one time I was hoping to start up a band doing bluegrass covers of classic rock tunes (before David Lee Roth tried it….). My stage name was going to be “Jesse James Dio”. Pretty good, eh?
Hillman: True, but every once in a while you stick on one of those albums and totally rock out, non-ironically, and it’s all worth it….
BeckEye: I’m not, perhaps we need to start a petition !!!!
Dude…DUDE. That rocks.
Do you think that maybe, just maybe, Dio reads your blog? And if he does what are the chances he’s clicked my link?
