25 random things about me

Someone sent me this chain-letter. My response to it is below.


Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.
At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You 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, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your
25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish)

1. I had my 15 minutes of fame and enjoyed being flown around the world for gigs. The best DJ gig I had was headlining an event in Tokyo, Japan. Second would be a big party in Dalton, IL where I opened up for Green Velvet, playing on a stage for 3,000+ people. Having people ask for autographs was really cool too.

2. I wanted to be a computer programmer since I was a little kid and always thought working with computers was exciting.  

3. If crème brûlée is on the desert menu, I try to save room for it.

4. I still don't have sport cars out of my system.

5. I think it would be great to write a book some day, but never make the time for it.

6. No kids yet, but want some one day. EDIT: Got one now :)

7. New York, New Orleans, and California (any city besides LA which I hated) are the only places in America besides Chicago I've been to that I would consider living in.

8. The thing I think most people want are just to feel wanted and needed.

9. Nothing quite sooths my soul better than a ride on a motorcycle on a beautiful day.

10. Tattoos are cool, but I only want the one I have.

11. I think nose piercings look nasty, like someone has a bugger on their face.

12. I would really like to go back to Japan or Italy some day.

13. I really admired my grandfather on my mom’s side.

14. I feel very fortunate to be one of the first in my family's history to go to college.

15. Almost died at child birth. Dr's gave me a 50/50 chance to live. Said it was up to me if I wanted to live, so I consider this life a gift.

16. I'm not a hunter or much of a "gun-nut", but I'll fight for your right to keep and bear arms.

17. I have a large movie collection and don't watch a lot of TV.

18. I get my news off the web.

19. My favorite Color is Orange, followed closely by Black.

20. Although I find some of it interesting, I am a big skeptic of anything supernatural.

21. Before I got into DJing, I was a magician and the biggest show I ever did was for a grammar school. Also did some block parties and birthday parties.

22. I used to be friends with Penn & Teller, and would e-mail Teller back-and-forth to his private e-mail.

23. I have had several articles published in newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune and Sun Times.

24. Pool is my favorite sport, and I am one of the few in America who really likes watching it on TV, which is hard to find these days.

25. I like dragons and yes I used to play D&D when I was a kid.
