Just because it's 2am and I am online I decided to list 25 mostly random things. I was inspired by a friends facebook page.
1. I have played pool on and off for 28 years now.
2. I have lived in 4 states, 4 countries, and about 75 cities/towns so far (that I can recall)
3. I've taken 3 vacations since I was 16, only one lasting a week.
4. I've held over 200 jobs, over 60 promotions, owned 3 businesses (not counting this one), been homeless 2x, and fired twice
5. I was a Democrat until the age of 19 when I started to pay attention to politics
6. I like most rap music before 1992
7. I am the oldest of my siblings
8. I can make very accurate sketches, given a hoard of time
9. I've worked on several extreme low budget films and music videos - running Ikegami cameras and lights
10. The only country music I enjoy is Patsy Kline and Johnny Cash (though he's not really country)
11. Beethoven is one of my favorites
12. Pink Floyd is another
13. The first film I can remeber ever seeing was the original King Kong
14. Though massively out of practice, I speak Russian, Spanish, some Georgian (former Soviet Georgia) and understand a touch of Arabic
15. I have lived through a (small) hurricane, several earthquakes (including Northridge), the start of a civil war (Soviet Georgia), riots (Rodney King), a coupe attempt (Moscow), and a motorcycle accident
16. I had a crackhead pull a gun on me
17. I started wearing suits, daily, back in 10th grade
18. I have never been married, nor do I have any kids
19. My IQ has been tested to be in the 124 plus range
20. Favorite movies include Princess Bride, Apocalypse Now, Star Wars (original), The Great Escape, The Quiet Man
21. I have near total recall of any movie and television show I have ever seen
22. Roughly 1/3 of all the people I grew up with, or attended elementary school with, are dead for over a decade now
23. I've dated women outside my race
24. I studied philosophy, chemistry, and english in college
25. A car I was being driven in burst into flame for no apparent reason.
Ok, so now that I have shared this... well nothing really. Just thought I'd do it.
Oh as a bonus, I have met:
Robert Duvall - had a meal with, Kadeem Hardison - showed me his British car, Paul Schaffer, Robert Davi - nice bike, William Katt - nice guy, Ernest Borgnine, the former President of Georgia Zviad Gamsakhurdia, Peter Garrett of Midnight Oil, Easy E, Richard Belzer, minor diplomats from Germany and Belgium, Antonio Fargas, John Sortino - many times, and Geoffrey Owens. There may be more but that's all I can recall now.
