Back at the end of January I got tagged on Facebook by Nikki Teepprasarn. I also saw Ryan Healy got tagged by Michel Fortin. Michel took the rules & changed them. He brought the list to his blog, then reduced the number of people you tag. I choose to adopt Michel rules & publish my list here.

Here are Michel rules:

Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a post with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose five more people to be tagged. You also have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you. To do this, you simply link to their blogs so that they know you responded to their tag.

So, better late than never… Here we go:

1. One day I was in the clubhouse bar of a very exclusive golf club & was watching Tiger Woods play in his 1st US Open on TV. Some guy sat down behind me & started asking me questions about Tiger… How’s Tiger doing? That Tiger is a hell of a player, isn’t he? Can you believe he’s this good at such a young age? Did I ask: How’s Tiger doing? I politely answered his questions, but never turned around because I was trying to concentrate on Tiger’s play. Finally after the what seemed like the 100th question from this clown I decided to turn around & find out what his problem was…

And sitting there grinning from ear to ear was… Clint Eastwood.

2. There is a guitar sitting in the corner of my bedroom. For the past 10 years I’ve been intending to take lessons.

3. I was a car salesmen for 5 years. It was a great way to build my sales chops

4. I believe Magnum PI never “jumped the shark”

5. I like to draw. Mostly in pencil, charcoal, graphite.

6. The best compliment I got about my drawing came from a college Art Professor. He said: “You’ve got it.”

7. I was standing in the UPS building in San Francisco during the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. We could see it coming as the concrete floor looked like waves as the earthquake approached.

8. Training dogs is a fun hobby for me.

9. I’ve been happily married for 23 years.

10. I once owned a dog who taught himself how to open the refrigerator. It took my wife & I almost a year before we finally figured out he was doing it & not one of us leaving stuff out.

11. I was a medic in the Army.

12. I learned German in high school, but didn’t get good until I got stationed there for 2 years.

13. I have a problem with authority… which would explain why me & jobs have had a rough & tumbled past.

14. History was my 2nd favorite subject in school… recess was always #1.

15. I met my wife in Germany. We were both in the U.S. Army. I was on CQ one morning & she walked up to ask directions to the mess hall. Since I was getting off duty in a few minutes I offered to show her myself. We’ve been together ever since.

16. My 1st job was not a job… It was a paper route. I was responsible for delivering outstanding service, sales, accounting & turning a profit. If I failed at any of these, I didn’t make any money. I’ve been hooked on entrepreneurship ever since.

17. In December 2001 I became a Marathoner. Because of a bad planter facia flair up the day of the marathon I hobbled across the finish line in 8hrs. It doesn’t matter how long it took… I’m still a Marathoner!

18. I believe if you learn to laugh at yourself, you’ll go through life with a lot of entertainment.

19. I have a soft spot for rescue dogs. Every dog I’ve had has been a pound puppy or rescue dog. Whenever I see a dog walking with their owners, I feel compelled to stop to talk with the owners & give the dog a good pet.

20. Given a choice… My lazy inner child will take a nap vs. attack the to-do list.

21. My wife’s 2nd bout with cancer was much harder for me to deal with than I would admit to myself. It overwhelmed me & I finally let go of my pride & turned back to God.

22. I have yet to meet a piece of chocolate that wasn’t AWESOME!

23. The #1 priority for me right now is rebuilding my relationship with God. We haven’t really been tight the past few years… Mostly because I’ve been nursing a grudge & a lot finger pointing.

24. I think my english teachers would have a collective heart attack, if they saw how much writing I’ve done over the past year.

25. My biggest obstacle in business is delegation. I have a habit of wanting to do everything myself. Of course there is never enough time in the day to do everything… so, a lot of things get pushed to the back burner.

The rules say I’m suppose to tag 5 more people. I decided not to tag others because this tag is a couple months old. However if you want to create your own list, go right ahead. Feel free to link back to me & I’ll add a link back to your post here.
