Thanks to Mike for tagging me in this silly game I now find myself writing 8 things you didn’t know about me. In principal I hate this kind of crap but I’ll give it a bash…

  3. I’ve been hit twice by a car while driving my bicycle to school. No apparent long-term side-effects just yet!
  4. I was a DJ. Not very successful but relatively good and I played at Black Flys parties as well as clubs like The Foundation, Stonewater and more.
  5. When DJ’ing didn’t work out I decided that I want to help people. I studied to become a counselor and got my first job in a chemical dependency rehab soon after. I lasted 3 months before I had a nervous break-down and decided people could help themselves!
  6. My parents are both Journalists and growing up I vowed that I’d never become one. Now I work at a daily newspaper and have had most of my work experience in the Media industry.
  7. I have a very unique IQ (not particularly high) of which 0.06% of the global population share with me. I’m quite proud of this - makes me feel special.
  8. I’m a fanatical Arsenal fan and I try visit London once a year to watch my team play. Now I’ll tag the following people:
