FAITH: I am a follower of Yeshua and I’ve given my life to YHWH (Yahweh). No I’m not Jewish.
I play alto and baritone saxophone. I was pretty good. Not so much now, but I can play the Ocarina on the iPhone.
I was captain of my high school marching band, and an avid member of the Jazz ensemble
I was falsely handcuffed and harrassed in my Calc II class at the University of Florida. Mistaken identity.
I was hospitalized from March to November the year I was born with an unknown illness. Wasn’t supposed to make it. My family celebrated November 20th as “Bwana’s Day” since that’s the day I was released from the asylum hospital
I love basketball more than football. I never played football despite the fact my brother was a superstar and played at the University of Central Florida. I learned a lot from him (and I continue to)
I can not get on “spinning” rides at theme parks, as I get deathly sick.
I was allergic to milk for much of my childhood. I had to eat peanut butter on ice cream cones while my family and friends enjoyed ice cream. I’m not bitter.
I didn’t have access to a computer until I got to college.
I taught myself most of what I know about computers and technology.
I love Gospel music more than Jazz.
There’s a high probability I don’t agree with you.
I was voted “Most Talented” in my senior high school class.
I (and my friends) won our high school talent show by doing a dance routine to New Edition’s “N.E. Heartbreak”. I was Johnny Gill. No one knew I could dance prior to that.
I was awarded a Homebuilder’s Association scholarship for a house I designed in my high school drafting class. The house was built.
I love blue crabs. I mean, I really love blue crabs.
I believe the world is coming to an end sooner than you think.
I’m the most positive pessimist you’ll ever meet.
I believe additional species occupy the earth other than humans….and idiots
I grew up in a family of evangelists, singers, and ministers
I finished Super Mario Brothers on NES with my eyes closed. (Hint, use the music)
All are worth knowing! But as a once baritone sax player it's nice to see a fellow baseman. Here's some Morphine for ya': http://www.last.fm/music/Morphine
Thanks Bwana! A great list. Nice when people can be open about themselves, and this is a great way for us to learn a little bit more about you. I think making a list is a great way to get some info out about you without having long descriptive paragraphs. I think I might have to sit down and try this myself. Thanks for the inspiration.
…haha! Thanks Mona; was a pleasure to read so many other “facts” too. I really like that you have collected so many here so I can learn a bit more of those I missed.
You guys – I loved reading everyone’s and compiling this list. I still have a BUNCH more to add, but glad that everyone’s enjoying it as much as me. Thanks for the comments and hopefully you found someone new to sub to!
@Parth – that may possibly be the sexiest thing someone’s said to me. Wow – flattery will get you everywhere.
