Five Things You Didn’t Know About Me

Hardly arrived here and already tagged. David, prepare the Tanqueray & Tonic because I will hunt you down for this!

I am new here, so most of you don’t know anything about me, but on my main blog I have started a series called My Mini Bio. If you are bored and like reading long stories, feel free to hop over and discover some more.

I have not been more than 2 hours in my home country anymore.
Even though I have lived only 3 miles from the Belgian border, I haven’t been longer than 2 hours all together in Belgium in the last 13 years.
Once I went to buy meat because meat is cheaper in Belgium than in The Netherlands.
The second time was to visit the Marc Chagall Exhibition in 1998. We cued up for 40 minutes to get in and walked through in 20 minutes. The exhibition was one of the worst I have ever been to.

I have created several new cocktails.
And served the Dutch National soccer team at a pre-Euro 2000 party. All those new cocktails will feature in a German cocktail book I am supposed to finish Fall 2007.

I have done the darkest gray SEO possible.
Some years ago I used 7 different mod_rewrite rules in 1 .htaccess for as well a Postnuke based computer community and an osCommerce. Both were ranked really well in Google.
Afterwads the new owner got in to fiscal problems (I am not guilty for this) and both sites sadly aren’t online anymore.

I hate pictures of me.
Only 5 pictures of me have been made in the last 13 years. 2 Were for IDs.

I don’t like popular things
Or leave the hype before it hits main stream. I have opened 4 bars and every time I have left (or sold my share) before the bar had it’s best month.
But in the blogosphere this law doesn’t work.

And now I have to spread the link love and tag Danalyn, Bob Gentry , Dave2, Jessica and Hugh (yes that can be 5 cartoons).

  1. But I don’t have five things to say… my blog already tells everything about me!

  2. Dave, true. And also five things is not enough to make an extended entry!

    Actually that is the funny thing. I thought this was going to be a quickie and in the end it took me 2 hours to think of stuff I wanted to share, but wasn’t on my blog yet!

  4. Okay…looks like I need to put my do-not-meme-me disclaimer back up. :P

    PS: Since you’re on IM the most (read: you are my go-to-to-bitch bitch), you probably know more about me than anyone else…so no need for the 5-things meme. ;)

    PPS: Yes, I know I’m late, but in case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been paying much attention to things lately.
