Five Things Meme

January 24th, 2007
Posted by gerrod in: everyday life, general

I was recently challenged by the Kua to come up with five things that you may or may not know about me. You know what? It’s harder than I thought it would be! But here’s what I came up with.

1. I am a first dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I trained from when I was very young (maybe seven?) until I was in grade ten (about fifteen years old). Even though it’s been ages, I still remember every move in my black belt form, and I credit my current flexibility to many hours of stretching each week at the start and end of class.

2. My favourite movie is Wayne’s World. I haven’t seen it in years, but when I was in uni I watched it practically every week. I think I could still quote just about every line.

3. Secretly, I’d love to be good at karaoke. Sad, right? But I’d love to be a great singer. I’d especially love to be able to sing and play guitar at the same time. But I’d settle for just the singing. (Actually I’d settle for being better at guitar too, for that matter…)

4. I’ve become obsessed with yoga. The physio told me that the only way my shoulder would heal properly was if I stretched it out, plus I needed something to add strength back into my ankles. One of the girls at work was constantly telling me how good yoga was at our gym, so I gave it a whirl, and I loved it. Now I’m going at least two or three times a week.

5. I’m very shy. If I’m in a crowded room in which I don’t know many people, I just shut down. I’m working on this one; Damien tells me that a room of strangers should be viewed as a challenge, so I’m doing what I can to change my perception.

So there it is! My Five Things Meme! I extend the challenge to: Jason, Meegan, Cathy, and Racey. Oh, and it would be nice to see one from the wife, too… :-)

Hey – that’s really interesting! I love Wayne’s World too although I haven’t seen it for a very long time.

Ok, I’ll start thinking about my top 5…

Photo? Shoes?

Shoes should always match the belt. Have a look at the photo that shows a younger Gerrod and Black Belt!

You??? Shy??? That definitely falls into the category of “things that I did NOT know about you”. :)
