Who is behind a Blog persona?

In response to being tagged by Chitty a very long time ago (I never do chain mail - be grateful man):

Three screen names I've had: itisthequestion, thelastboyscout, livebabylive.
Three things you like about yourself: natural build, curiosity, business-mind.
Three things I don't like about myself: I procrastinate when I'm uncertain, amount of time it takes me to get out there and socialise, I fall in love with people who don't love me.
Three parts of my heritage: lower-middle class upbringing, integrity and values from my parents,underachievement at school.
Three things that scare me: unnecessary failure, lack of means (e.g. money), in others: the South African insecurity / fickleness of being proudly South African.
Three of your everyday essentials: Internet, cappucino, making a difference.
Three things you are wearing right now: track-pants, t-shirt, glasses.
Three of my favorite songs: Fields of Gold - Sting, Black Celebration- Depeche Mode, Where The Streets Have No Name - U2
Things I want in a relationship: Intelligence, physical attraction, reciprocal love.
Two truths and a lie (not in order - guess): I drive a sports car, I have released my own CD, I think Justin Timberlake is unbelievably talented.
Three things I can't do without: music, solving big problems - where the solutions actually have a profound impact, the Internet.
Three places you want to go on vacation: The Mediterranean, South America, Bali.
Three things you just can't do: commit to a long term procedural job, lie, forget consequence.
Three kids names: Dylan, James, Nicolette.
Things you want to do before you die: Build a major company that does amazing things, take a year off while I'm young enough to enjoy it, reach peak fitness and sustain it.
Three celeb crushes: Kiera Knightley, Natalie Portman, Robin Wright-Penn.
Three people you want to know these things about: Rantscribe, TheDodge, AquilaOnline (Kyknoord, of the bloggers I know, you started this business, so I know about you)

  4. This is like "100 things about me" I've seen on other blogs. I love this idea. I want to do something like that but I'll have to start a more personal blog than the one I have right now -- something more anonymous as my current one is tied into my career and there are certain things you just can't reveal and expect to be taken seriously...

  5. Chitty: Thank you.

    Chitty: "I like... hehehe" ???

    Andrea: Yeah it is funny how we form pictures of people through their blogs. I have discovered more about a few bloggers and it is interesting how they might be different to what we imagine, be it looks, home language, etc. I also use my blog to be honest about things more difficult to share with people who might know me, so I have also been careful.

    Hey there, Rantscribe here. Thanks for tagging me. Don't know if I've got time to fill it out though. I do a weekly column on www.mrspencer.co.za (Used to be called Caned and Unable, now Himology - under my name Rob Dickens). Go check it out. Otherwise, glad to hear from you, have a good 1.
