I’ve Been Tagged – 6 Random Things About Me
- 4 Comments
I’ve finally been tagged in a game of tag that’s been circulating throughout the Blogosphere for some time now. I didn’t think it would happen, but Bunny over at BunnyGotBlog made it happen. 
It’s been a while since I played a game of tag, and I think it’s about time I got back to my childhood roots, so here we go.
6 Random Facts You Probably Don’t Know About Me:
- My nickname growing up was “Hulie” (who-lee), and was created by my Godmother when I was 2 years old. To this day, my mom still calls me Hulie regularly.
- I’m a passionate student of the subject of women and dating, and have completed almost all of David DeAngelo’s “Double Your Dating” programs. I attribute the sparking of my interest in personal growth to his programs, and without them I would be a totally different person today. I regularly help quite a few friends with their women and dating situations, and I’ve been wanting to develop a program of my own on the subject for some time now.
- I played the Bass Trombone in middle school and in high school. I made the Area Wind Symphony (1st chair) my junior year whilst competing against some of the best bass trombonists in Southeast Texas (I know it sounds like I’m proud of this accomplishment, but I’m actually kinda disappointed because I never practiced and I let my talent go to waste).
- From March 2008 – October 2008 I considered myself a professional poker player. I played online, had a mentor, studied the game tirelessly, was subscribed to a coaching website, and actually had some good results. I made two trips to Las Vegas during this time to clean up the notoriously extra soft tables. I was on my way up, but towards the end of my journey I realized that professional poker wasn’t the path for me, and I gave it up for good.
- I dislocated my knee-cap during a Kuk Sool Won martial arts class on August 10th, 2007. I heard a loud POP when it happened, and it was one of the most physically painful things I’ve experienced in my life. It took three days a week of physical therapy for two months to rehabilitate my left knee back to normal. It still isn’t 100%, and when the weather changes suddenly my knee hates it.
- I’m an avid college football fan, and am a die hard Texas Longhorns fan. Hey, just because I dropped out of the school doesn’t mean I can’t love the team, right?
Now that I’ve shared these random facts about myself, I’ve been given the right to tag up to 6 more people so that they too can share 6 random facts about themselves.

Rahul. 6 random things about me! Ok .. here goes.
1 I keep my hair cropped very short – like almost bald. I have a real discomfort having some stranger cut my hair so cutting it myself is the only way it gets done. The other option would be not getting it cut at all and growing long strands combed neatly over the extensive bald patch up top combined with a pony tail. Sexy!
2 I just received an iPhone. I’m in love with it. It’s one of the few bits of technology I own (PC and iPod are the other 2 things). I spend hours working out what all the bits and pieces do on it. Awesome!
3 I’m spending Christmas in Romania this year. Planning to introduce dinner, British style, complete with Christmas pudding and custard. Can’t wait!
4 I’m planning a trip to Nigeria in March 2009 to run training for peace workers in the Niger delta. No idea what to expect. Still need to raise some money to cover flight costs .. but am trusting it will come!
5 My daughter is watching a short My Little Pony film as I’m typing this. She loves it and I feel like jumping out of the window when I hear those incredibly annoying voices! Life doesn’t get much worse than My Little Pony! Unless you’re a peace workers in the Niger Delta – I guess MLP is pretty meaningless to those guys.
6 I have a wonderful ivy plant growing in my apartment. I’m leaving for over 4 weeks tomorrow and I don’t think it’s going to survive. Any volunteers to come over and water it?
So Cool.
Thank you for sharing and letting us get to know you better.
Merry Christmas my friend
