8 Things

Hey, it looks like you're new here to my blog! You may want to consider subscribing to my RSS feed and you'll automatically get notified when I post a new blog entry. If web feeds aren't your thing then why not join my email list by clicking here. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks to Mike for tagging me in this silly game I now find myself writing 8 things you didn’t know about me. In principal I hate this kind of crap but I’ll give it a bash…

1. I’m the eldest of 4 children. I have two brothers, Oliver (22) and Scott (16) as well as a very young Sister, Emma (8).

2. In nursery school I kissed my first girl only to have the entire school belittle and sing the classic “k-i-s-s-i-n-g” song. Very traumatising.

3. I’ve been hit twice by a car while driving my bicycle to school. No apparent long-term side-effects just yet!

4. I was a DJ. Not very successful but relatively good and I played at Black Flys parties as well as clubs like The Foundation, Stonewater and more.

5. When DJ’ing didn’t work out I decided that I want to help people. I studied to become a counselor and got my first job in a chemical dependency rehab soon after. I lasted 3 months before I had a nervous break-down and decided people could help themselves!

6. My parents are both Journalists and growing up I vowed that I’d never become one. Now I work at a daily newspaper and have had most of my work experience in the Media industry.

7. I have a very unique IQ (not particularly high) of which 0.06% of the global population share with me. I’m quite proud of this - makes me feel special.

8. I’m a fanatical Arsenal fan and I try visit London once a year to watch my team play.

Now I’ll tag the following people:

• Carly Ritz
• Darren Gorton
• Nic Haralambous
• Vincent Maher
