25 Random Things About Me

There’s this game going around on facebook called “25 Random Things About Me” where you gotta write a note with that subject if you get tagged. I was recently tagged by one of my friends and saw lots of people posting it on their blogs so here’s my list:

1. I’m a very picky eater. No veggies or fruits except apples, which makes dieting really hard.
2. My favorite food is entrecote steak.
3. I lost 25lbs in the past 6 months. I made up my own diet and exercise every day for an hour. My exercise routine includes 40 minutes cardio and 20 minutes muscle training.
4. I never drank tea till I read green tea helps weight loss. Now I drink a cup a day but I’m not sure it actually has any influence.
5. I’m addicted to the TV series 24. I started watching it while working out and it’s the only reason I was able to keep up the habit. Other shows I like: Prison Break, Lost, Heroes, House MD, Big Brother (Israeli version).
6. I also enjoy watching Family Guy and American Dad. It’s low-level comedy but it’s funny.
7. I was born in NY and moved to Israel at the age of 4. Since then I’ve been back in NY over two dozen times.
8. I’ve flown a hell of a lot. My first flight was from NY to Israel when I was two weeks old, since then I’ve been on a plane over 160 times.
9. I’ve been to an huge amount of places. Lots of US states: NY, NJ, DC, PA, WA, Utah, Vegas and Alaska!. Around the world: Canada, England, Scotland, France, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Australia, Thailand. I love traveling and I really want to go to South America next.
10. The place I had the most fun visiting is Australia. The nature there is amazing and there’s lots of cool activities. I went scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef and climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
11. I’m obsessed with celebrities. I used to really want to be one but now I’m not sure I want to deal with all the paparazzi. I take a peak in the gossip section in newspapers once in a while.
12. I can’t do anything without music in the background. I always carry my iPhone 3G and earphones (not the sucky Apple ones) with me. Some of my favorite artists: Kanye West, Beyonce, Akon, Rihanna, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Linkin Park, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Black Eyed Peas.
13. My dream was to be a pop/rock star. Pretty quickly I realized that don’t have the greatest voice in the world. Now my dream is to be a business tycoon (think Richard Branson).
14. I NEED to have a Ferrari, private jet and private island. I just wont survive much longer without them.
15. I’m addicted to reading the news. I can go to news sites 30 times a day and buy a newspaper whenever I walk by a store. I’m interested in politics and may become the president of the US one day if I feel like it .
16. I got kicked out of school last year. In elementary school I was a really good student but I got lazy in high school. I now learn in a much more laid back school so it’s cool.
17. I started internet marketing in the time I had between schools. Hopefully it’s going to be the best thing that ever happened to me.
18. It’s really hard for me to write things about myself. I got stuck here and didn’t complete this list till 2 hours later.
19. My favorite alcohol is Whiskey. I visited a few whisky distilleries on my trip to Scotland. I also like beer, flavored vodka and wine but can’t touch tequila (Don’t tell the cops).
20. I’m 5.3 feet and really want to be taller
21. I like action movies with lots of shooting but not when they get too disgusting or disturbing.
22. One of my biggest challenges is waking up in the morning. I can set the loudest alarm clocks in the world and I’ll just keep on sleeping.
23. When doing homework or working I used to end up on facebook, now I end up on twitter instead. I can get stuck there for an hour before I realize I didn’t get anything done.
24. I love skiing. It’s the funnest and most amazing thing in the world (except maybe skydiving). I went once in the US, a few times in Europe and a few times in Israel. Believe it or not there’s skiing in Israel, but it isn’t any good.
25. I love going to the mall and just hanging out with friends. Last year the Malha mall in Jerusalem was like my second home.

Please tell me what you think about my list in the comments…

Have a wonderful day,
