So a friend gave me a number and told me do this. And also I
needed something to blog about. So here we go!
#1: My middle name
I take great lengths to ensure that my middle name is a
secret. Why? Well, I don’t really have a good answer for that, but it adds a
small amount of mysteriousness to my persona. Most people don’t know my middle
name unless they have discovered it through various means of subterfuge, or I
told them. So if I told you, you are probably an extraordinarily important
person in my life.
#2: Flash Gordon
I sing Flash Gordon by Queen every time I feel victorious,
or triumphant in some way. I also only do this when I am by myself. Not sure
why it is always this song..
#3: My sister
I go to her for advice; which is strange, because she is
younger than I am. For those that don’t know my sister, she is much older in
mentality than she is in age. Which then begs the question, who does she go to
for advice if it isn’t me?
#4: Foreign Languages
I speak no foreign languages. Not even Tagalog which is the
native language of the Philippines where my mother is from. Due to my Filipino
heritage I am commonly mistaken for a Spanish speaker which is simply not the
case. However, I did at one point in time know how to speak French and have
been re-learning it again.
#5: School
I almost dropped out of college. Twice. Both of which
occurred in my Senior year. Twice I found myself in front of the registrar, completely
ready to go in and withdraw from classes. It was a very dark time in my life
due to my parent’s divorce and multiple other things going on. But I persevered
due to very good friends supporting me and an endless supply of video games to
escape to.
#6: Christmas
I have a love-hate relationship with Christmas. I’ll skip
the obvious love of receiving gifts. I love it because it brings people
together! The snow is absolutely wonderful, hot chocolate, the fireplace, I
love it all. I also hate it because the last two Christmases have not been
great for my love/personal life. So here’s hoping this next one is better.
#7: Guitar
I started playing guitar because I thought it was super cool
and I could use it to pick up chicks. No joke here folks. I didn’t start
playing because it was destiny. Or that I walked into a music shop and a guitar
started glowing and reaching out to me. Or that Jimi Hendrix himself appeared
to me in a dream to convince me to play. It was purely for the cool factor. Luckily
it paid off and got me through college via scholarships. But it has yet to
actually get me a girl so measure success however you see fit.
#8: My dream
If I had just one wish that was not limited by space, time
or grandeur, I would wish to live in Star Trek. My ultimate dream is to go to
Star Fleet Academy, captain my own ship and explore the edges of space and
understanding. Sure, Star Wars is pretty cool what with the force and Jedi, but
I like Star Trek way too much. One day I will tell everyone why Star Trek is so
important to me, but that’s if I ever get around to blogging about it.
#9: Reality
Over the last few years my thinking and perception of
reality has changed. More and more I see and think about things that question
everything I know. Whether it be a book/movie like “Cloud Atlas” or a game like
“The Stanley Parable” or even just hanging out with Justin Hayes, I’m
constantly trying to expand my mind. I truly believe that there are multiple
universes where we exist, but make slightly different decisions thus changing
our whole lives! I question the reality of choice, do we actually have choices
or are we destined to make the same decisions? As you can see, the first two
ideas are conflicting with each other. But I like getting lost in my thoughts.
Because, life would be boring if you weren’t constantly in search of answers or
something to fundamentally change the way you think and behave.
Tl;dr I’m a little crazy
