25 Things You Definitely Do Not Know About Me

In: about us

18 Jan 2009

Yes, it’s all true. :)

    Bwana
  1. FAITH: I am a follower of Yeshua and I’ve given my life to YHWH (Yahweh). No I’m not Jewish.
  2. I play alto and baritone saxophone. I was pretty good. Not so much now, but I can play the Ocarina on the iPhone.
  3. I was captain of my high school marching band, and an avid member of the Jazz ensemble
  4. I was falsely handcuffed and harrassed in my Calc II class at the University of Florida. Mistaken identity.
  5. 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
  6. 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)
  7. I can not get on “spinning” rides at theme parks, as I get deathly sick.
  8. 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.
  9. I didn’t have access to a computer until I got to college.
  10. I taught myself most of what I know about computers and technology.
  11. I love Gospel music more than Jazz.
  12. There’s a high probability I don’t agree with you.
  13. I was voted “Most Talented” in my senior high school class.
  14. 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.
  15. I was awarded a Homebuilder’s Association scholarship for a house I designed in my high school drafting class. The house was built.
  16. I love blue crabs. I mean, I really love blue crabs.
  17. I believe the world is coming to an end sooner than you think.
  18. I’m the most positive pessimist you’ll ever meet.
  19. I believe additional species occupy the earth other than humans….and idiots
  20. I grew up in a family of evangelists, singers, and ministers
  21. I finished Super Mario Brothers on NES with my eyes closed. (Hint, use the music)
  22. I was writing online web logs in 1994
  23. I am an aspiring photographer
  24. My wife and I met on an online dating service (blackplanet)
  25. I haven’t met a person that I haven’t made laugh :)

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.

@Charlie – proof is in the pudding! Let’s see it. :)

Thank you.
