8 Fun Facts About Gary Lee

Posted in Observations on June 27th, 2007

Ms. Q has tagged me for a little meme that I’ve always found really fun to do with some of my friends through email. She thinks there’s more to me than SEO and marketing, so I’ll see if she’s right!

This is how it works.

  • Each player must post these rules first.
  • Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
  • People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
  • At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
  • Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
  • Credit goes to Christian for this.

My Fun 8 Facts about myself are:

  • Back in 1995, I was interviewed by the local ABC sports crew on the current status of the Los Angeles Lakers. I pretty much said they sucked and that we needed to fire Randy Pfund. One week later and with 10 games left in the schedule, Randy’s fired and Magic Johnson replaces him as Head Coach. Coincidence? I think not!
  • Thanks to my favorite pinay friend in Shorrance, I’m currently on the South Beach Diet. I’ve lost a total of 20 lbs since the beginning of this year.
  • I survived a hit and run on a LA Freeway while riding my one week old Yamaha R1 with no broken bones and just a few scars. I still ride today, but I ride bigger, LOUDER bikes like my Vstar.
  • I used to be a Tax Account for a Big 4 firm in Downtown LA. My favorite job was flying up to Seattle and abusing the company paid trip with room service, dinners at the pier and at least 4 Frappucino’s a day.
  • I was in Marching Band in High School and played the saxophone. I am very proud of my time in band and yes, I even went to band camp. Don’t knock it unless you’ve tried it! BAND PRIDE FO LIFE!
  • The first car I ever owned was a 1990 Blue Acura Integra. I dropped it hard by cutting my S/T springs 2 in the front and 3 in the back. Straight Piped it for that annoying lawn mower sound, which was easily drowned out by my 2 JL Audio Woofers powered by my Rockford Fosgate Amp! Of course, I went through my drama with it . . . stereo was stolen and I blew my engine racing when I thought my 3rd gear could handle a downshift at 80mph!
  • I’ve only been to one concert in my life and that was the New Edition Reunion Concert back in 1997 at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim. I think i got high from the 2nd hand pot that was being smoked in the arena and almost killed a ghost I saw in the road on the way home!
  • I went to a High School that was over 50% Asian, then I went to a University that was over 50% Asian, then I went into corporate America where it is 4% Asian. Culture Shock? No way . . I grew up watching Small Wonder and The Facts of Life . . I know how to interact with white folk ;)

Now it’s my turn to tag people. This is gonna be good!

  • Ms. Danielle - Just because I don’t know her well enough after spending 8+ hours with her a day anyways!
  • Jeff Kee - he can’t just be an online horndog, can he?
  • Maki - I bet he doesn’t respond to this cuz he’s all about serious blog topics =)
  • Nate Whitehill - hopefully, he can find some time to participate. He’s currently in the process of taking over China.
  • Jane May - since it sounds like everyone and their mom wants to know new facts about Jane aka Jane Chow aka John Chow v2.0
  • Ed Lau - his comedy has to come from somewhere. Wouldn’t you like to know too?
  • Leo Chiang - cuz if I’m ever in Vancouver and I get into a fight, I want to be able to email someone to help me out!
  • Marisa - the winner of the Best Workstation Contest needs to reveal where her sense of style comes from!

You is definitely NOT all about SEO and marketing! You played the Sax? then you’re gonna love Christian’s post on Peogle’s today.

Dang, you sound like a bit of an ABC wild-man! Pimped up Acura, expensing Frappucinos (as a Tax Accountant - SOOOO ABC) and getting high off SECONDHAND pot smoke.

Thanks for playing and wow, great job on trimming down. Turning 30 does slow the metabolism, doesn’t it ;-)

Tax Accountant? I work on the practice management systems for a large accounting firm, not quite big4. Seems the 2 worlds aren’t to far apart…
