25 random things about me

This is something that we 'imported' from facebook.

1. Write a "25 random things about me" and post it as a blog.

2. Share it with ALL your friends on iPeace (share button on bottom left >> More Options>>Share with friends)

3. We get to know each other better

We are almost 17000 and we come from 180 different countries and cultures. This can be exciting.

here's mine:

1. I used to have hair

2. There's someone thin living inside me

3. I lost about 1000 Kg during my life, and I gained about 100 Kg more

4. I don't throw old cloths that no longer fit – I tell them: "Wait, I am coming back"

5. I served in the army and hated it (but everyone does)

6. I was a really lousy student and was kicked out of school twice.

7. I got an MBA (and a really good one). I think that MBAs are useless

8. I used to trade bonds, stocks and other financial instruments when Wall Street was still fun

9. I retired 12 years ago

10. I lived in Israel, France, USA, UK and Japan (I am a sushi snob)

11. I visited about 60 other countries

12. I am dying to go to Tibet (but I don't think that I'm very welcome there at the moment)

13. My best friend is Eli Sachs and we've been friends for 40 years

14. I have 2 sons, Joel and Jono, and I love them more with every day that passes – They must have great genes.

15. I love myself, and feel sorry for people who don't love themselves.

16. I love golf and I used to be the only golf writer in Israel

17. I love music but I can't sing and I can't play any instrument which is killing me

18. I am a borderline autistic with a slight dyslexia and certified ADD

19. I live by myself (and I'm loving it)

20. I never felt loneliness, but I know that there aren't many worse feelings than being lonely.

21. I am more lucky than clever

22. I have addictive personality

23. I love cooking (and eating – you probably figured that out) I can eat Chinese food every day

24. I started iPeace and I love it

25. I WILL see peace in my lifetime

26. I believe that FEAR is the root of all evil

I have about 100 more..but my dream about peace is this:

I can tell you about the first things that come to my mind when I close my eyes and think of peace. I see no more wars. I see a time when my grandchildren don't have to spend 3 years of their lives in the army. I see equality and respect between peoples and nations. I see my Arab friends come to visit me at home, I see us going to the beach together. I see myself hanging out with my Lebanese friends in Beirut. But most of all, I see myself being able to get in the car with my dad (who is 87 years old) and 2 sons, and drive to Baghdad, Iraq, through Jordan or Syria. In Baghdad he takes us to the house he was born in, and to all the places he told us so many stories about. There, we close a circle.
These dreams might sound trivial to many, but these simple acts have been denied of so many people in the Middle East.

Just Peace by rose

Wish I was as optimistic as you in believing that I will see peace in my lifetime even though in '25 random things about me' I would have to include that 'What people remember about me is my laughter and my positive energy'

Comment by Maris B. Mohr on February 15, 2009 at 12:03pm: I don't really feel like thinking about 25 useless facts about myself, but it's interesting reading about you. It's nice to see other people from here getting together like this. I'd like to see some of our neighbors joining us too.

Peace & Serenity,
Maris in Mitzpe Ramon

Comment by Carole Berger on February 15, 2009 at 11:28am: I would also like to get to know you more.
That bit about seeing peace in your lifetime,i'm not so sure about,but we must of course never give up hoping.

Good for you...an sort of Israeli opening up and telling it all...Set an example my man!!!

Who is next???

I have been agonizing to get people to talk on two groups that I formed on FB

The Wisdom of Thomas L. Friedman and of course Truemanity.

Whenever they have something to say they come back to my profile or message me.

There are few that say it out loud.

Comment by Kurt H. Hoyer on February 15, 2009 at 10:06am: A few of those random things made me laugh. We all need to laugh more everyday. Peace is a journey not a destination and it begins in your heart. Where love dwells fear is banished,
