7 Random Things About Me

Okay, it’s time I joined the personal finance blogging community. I’ve been writing and posting quietly to myself like a hermit in my cave and I think it’s time I shared more about myself.

I’ve been tagged by Pinyo at Moolanomy to reveal 7 random things about myself. I’m not sure what people would want to know about me so I decided to include a wide assortment.

  1. I have a bachelor’s in finance and a J.D. degree - This means I’m an attorney with a business background. My current full time job is only partially related to the legal field however.
  2. I look very young - I am in my late 20’s but can easily pass for a college student. I’m not joking. I get still get carded sometimes.
  3. I’m a big Redskins and Wizards fan - Got to support the local teams. My Skins are looking good this year!
  4. I used to be a huge computer gamer - I started with computer role playing games and graduated into Starcraft. I still have fond memories of playing until the wee morning hours and somehow still making it to class.
  5. I own a parrot - I’ve had my parrot for many years now since college (yes he talks and whistles). I remember sneaking his cage into the dorms during college and pulling it off for a whole school year. I wasn’t busted until the last week of school. Good times.
  6. I play the drums - I used to play the drums in my church’s praise band until recently. I’ve taken a few months off but might return in the future.
  7. I’m a runner - I ran cross country during high school and I still run today. I’ve ran half marathons before but haven’t attempted to challenge myself by running a full 26 mile marathon yet. I plan on doing that one day.

That’s about it for now!

Um…I looked around and I think nearly everyone has already been tagged at least once. Please let me know if you haven’t so I can tag you. Like a hot potato, I’ve got to pass it on! :)

    Thank you for supporting the meme. Wow, a real finance/legal person, not just a lay person with stories to share — that’s great!

    Regarding #4, I was and still is addicted (and I am 33, married)

  2. Raymond Says:

    Hey Pinyo, I prefer to write as a casual layperson but on occasion I might put a legal spin on things.

    Regarding #4…Starcraft 2 is the works. :)

    JD with Economics here! HUGE fan of your blog….

    What is your job that it is “kind of” related to law; I only ask since I am in a similar situation (Director of Financial Planning at a Wealth Management Firm - dealing with Estate Taxes most of the day, and other fun ways to prevent Uncle Sam from taking 45%).

  4. Raymond Says:

    Evan, I see we are in similar fields. I might move into tax one of these days since it’s my original background.

  5. AndyS Says:

    Raymond - I live in the same area you. Don’t think it worked out so well for the skins and wizards will get knocked in the first round of the PO’s. Ah well, there is always next year.

  6. Raymond Says:

    Hey Andy,

    Wizards, if they stay healthy might be able to make a deep run in the playoffs…hopefully! It’s time to break the first round curse

  7. Jimmy Says:

    Cool site! Very useful information… A parrot, wow!
