I am pretty open about myself on the forums here. But here are a few tid bits that I dont think I ever mentioned:
I spent a month living as a monk in a Buddhist temple in a remote area of Thailand.
I K.O.'d 4 guys in a big fight at the Whisky-A-Go-Go in Hollywood.
I K.O.'d another two at Als Bar in LA. Wanted to test my martial art skills where people like to fight.
I worked out with Jackie Chan on movie set in Arnold Schwarcheneggers movie trailer gym.
I still speak Thai pretty well.
I love travel but hate flying. I mean really really really hate flying. Being in a plane is torture.
I own over 400 books relating to Martial Arts and eastern philosophy.
I am a bodyguard/security for Hollywood events like Grammys, Oscars, Golden Globes, etc.
I have seen a UFO
I have seen a ghost/spirit/spector or whatever you want to call it.
I know for a fact that chi is REAL.
I was five feet away from a friend in high school when he got killed by a shotgun blast.
I always offer assistance to people who need help (flat tire, lifting heavy item, homeless/hungry).
What an awesome thread!!! Except that I have realized I must be the most boring one on it. I will say that I most likely have the other half of Plaidmom's bicycle ...somewhere in my fire hazard of a garage.
I was an airline employee flying off-duty standby back in the 80's. Waiting in Aspen airport, who do I see but Glenn Frye (sp?) from the Eagles. He was SO hot. I thought I was hot (wrong on that one too), so I sauntered over to him & handed him my name & # and told him if he was ever in NY & need a local guide.......he just stared at me like I was out of my mind. Still waiting for his call, so I really must be.
I had a helicopter search & rescue team looking for me & another student in the Colorado Rockies once; we were at base camp the whole time - waiting just like we learned - they just never took the initial head count before starting out.
Wow! I can't even compare to most of these posts! LOL
