Precisely everybody's point, dude. Glad you finally got it 😉
Here are my life accomplishments, as legitimate as yours because, hey,
it's an internet forum, right?
* Got admitted to a school for gifted children at the age of 5.
* Was for 1 year the Rubik Cube™ speed champion at the age of 9.
* Disassembled my first Commodore™ at 11.
* Coded a Tetris™ skin at the age of 12 which was later bought by MS though it was never commercialized.
* At 13 gained admission to the Swedish School of Theater, speciality in circus arts, clowning.
* Performed at 15 for the Swedish Royal House, gaining a grant to live in Africa for 1 year and research tribal comedic theater.
* First D.Div. under 18 from the Royal College. My name is still on a plaque at the entrance.
* Opening act for Cheech and Chong's last tour.
* From the age of 20 to the age of 30 I lived in Goa, meditating under the guidance of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
* At the age of 31 gained belated admission to the IDF, where I worked for classified operations for 5 years after graduating from officer school. Obviously, I cannot talk about this in detail but I can say that during my service I became fluent in Arabic, besides my native Swedish and Hebrew (in which I am bilingual)
* I am a self taught explosions specialist and, after the IDF years, that knowledge helped me found, grow and sell a deep water mining company in Burma with subsidiaries throughout Southeast Asia.
* After pivoting into marketing, just for laughs, I currently serve as political advisor to Mr. Duterte in the Philippines, and in my free time I still perform clowning acts for children at the terminal diseases ward of several hospitals in the region.
* I have legally changed my name at least 5 times.
* I've won 2 times the Amarillo chili cooking contest.
* I knit like an angel. I also breakdance.
