I’ve been tagged by mysterious Luc from the mysterious (yet excellent) mindblob….cheers mate, much appreciated.
Tagging is this meme/viral that going on for few weeks now where bloggers share 4 interesting personal stuff and then pass it on to 5 other bloggers. Cute in a geeky kind of way….
So…here’s my riff:
1. I was sleepwalking : As a child, between 5-11 years of age I used to drive my parents crazy with my night roaming…They used to find me in bizarre places in and outside the house doing weired stuff like stuffing pillows into sandwich bags. No one knew what’s the deal and it just stopped later.
2. I spent 3 weeks in North Carolina training with the Delta Force . I’m not proud of my military experience (it’s compulsory in Israel) and today I’d rather go to jail than put on a uniform or hold a rifle in my hands, but back than when I was sent to spend 3 weeks with the real Chuck Norrises, jumping from helicopters into top floors windows and buses running in 50mph and other "save the world" crazy stunts, it was actually quite fun.
3. I was playing the flute for 7 years. From 4th grade to 11th, I was playing the flute in my home town’s music conservatorium, including the city youth orchestra.
4. I did the London triathalon(1.5K swim/40K cycle/10K run). A year and a half ago. Was great, but I think I enjoyed the training regime and self-discipline experience [which I so lack in my life] more then the actual event. I actually had to take 10 weeks swimming course as I never swum front crawl. It’s really experiential to acquire new physical skill at 31. I look forward for the next one in the summer.
Passing the microphone on to [no obligation guys]:
Iain, because what happened with my recent move to poke made me abandon my radical rationalism for a week and enjoy contemplating good karmas and stuff…’ ‘everything happen for a reason’ - IN, ‘pure coincidence’ - OUT. Spirituality is the new black!
Faris, for his fantastic gig over at Jenkins ‘ blog with "transmedia planning" - his excellent contribution to the blogosphere. I see a book 3-5 years from now.
Young Man in a Hurry - A sharp minded account exec and a good fella from Grand Union. He started blogging recently and I hope he’ll keep the habit.
Paul Colman of Life in the Middle. I started reading his blog only recently and its great fun and insightful.
And finally, Dino. The man, the DJ and best guy on the block.

Hello mate,
Nice one for getting hired so quickly.
I didn’t get to say goodbye, so goodbye.
Our paths will cross again, I’m sure.
Love Stu.

Asi,
Great to read you. Thanks for playing the game. Excellent points here, really.
Did you quit playing music?
BTW I kinda played Chuck Norris for 6 months (out of 11) of intensive training as well, when I did my military service (mandatory in Belgium at the time) ; )
Oh… I almost forgot. My blog name is “mindblob” with a “B”, related to the film (The Blob). I made up the definition (”Growing magma of ideas and connections between brains”). Tryed to explain on my first post (*). But I must admit link with word “blog” is quite obvious. ; )
