5 Things About Me

December 15th, 2006

Every once in awhile one of these viral, online tag games sprouts up. Kind of a geeky way of saying hello to your buddies in the blogosphere, and a nice way to kill time and come up with something to post. A couple of my friends, Dave and Adam, hit me with a link, thus calling me out to reveal 5 things that most people probably don’t know about me.

1. I have been fired from just about every job I ever had.
2. I voted for George Bush Sr. What can I say? I was young and thought that I had to be a Republican to be rich.
3. I bartended at a gay bar. And not just any gay bar, but an after-hours, leather, bear-crowd bar.
4. I dropped out of college. Not because I had some awesome business idea, but because I was afraid of growing up.
5. I was hit by a car just before I was three - it nearly killed me, and left me with permanent scars (physical and mental).

So there you have it. Probably more than you needed (wanted) to know.

I am going to branch out of my circle of friends a bit with my choices of who to tag. Why not - maybe they’ll bite. Some of the blogs that I read that I’d love to learn more about the authors: presenter extraordinaire, Guy Kawasaki; whiz-kid, Aaron Swartz; fighter of the good fight, The Freeway Blogger; Yahoo troublemaker, Jeremy Zawodny; self help guru, Steve Pavlina.

    You want to read _more_ about me? Yikes.

    Anyway, you’re gonna have to ask more specific questions — I can’t think of five things I haven’t posted about. ;-)

    Hi Aaron - thanks for stopping by.

    I think the “rules” are that you disclose five things about yourself that you feel most people probably don’t know about you.

    Though you are very open in your wirting, I’m sure there are at least five things that even the most ardent of readers doesn’t know.
