Happy April Fools Day!
Instead of writing some bizarre fake joke post (which I was this close to doing, but I chickened out), I decided that we could play a fun little game of True or False, and at the same time you might get to know me a little better.
🙂
Below you'll find 10 statements about me.
7 are totally true, and 3 are totally false.
Can you pick out the 3 false statements?
Tell me which letters you think are false in the comments (for example: A, C, H).
The first one to answer correctly gets a “Pat” on the back. No real prizes, this is just for fun.
Enjoy!
A. When I was born, I weighed 11 lbs. 12 oz (5.329 kg).
B. I chose Architecture as a major because I thought it would give me the best chance to get into college, since there was less competition than many of the sciences.
C. I once held my breath for 2 minutes and 24 seconds.
D. My ethnic background is 1/2 Filipino, 1/4th Irish, 1/8th Russian and 1/8th Polish.
E. My first job was working at a Toys R' Us.
F. In college I won Coxswain of the Year for the Lightweight Women's Rowing team (a coxswain is the person on the boat who sits and yells, “Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!”).
G. I was ASB (Associated Student Body) president my senior year in High School.
H. I am a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I. In the spring semester of my junior year in College, I studied abroad in Italy with a group of architecture students.
J. I took 1 class my 5th year in college just to stay eligible to be in the marching band.
I will reveal the truth about each of these statements on my Facebook Page one at a time throughout the day today, so make sure you click here to become a fan! Editor's Note: The answers are below—but we'd still love you to like the SPI Facebook page! (02/2016)
I'll update this post on Monday with the answers if you're willing to wait.
And speaking of Monday, I'll be posting my March Monthly Income Report, so watch out for that!
Cheers, and have a great weekend!
And the FALSE answers are E, G, I. Everything else is true!
These are False – F, H, I… Lol
Happy April Fools Day Pat..
Ha ha – goodpost.
These are false – A – C and I. (i just don’t picture you as a marching band kind of guy…..)
We talk enough on Skype, so I should get close.
H, J + C = incorrect.
Glen what’s your skype brotha?
Big P! Happy April Fools day brotha!
Ok let me give it a go..B, I, and H
I cheated a bit haha so I know one of them is true for shurrr
I could have sworn you mentioned being a Black Belt in a podcast?
I say H, I and J are negative!
I’m such a goober, I meant to say F, not H!
A,C,H
B E H
Just a wild guess!
BFJ.
Happy April Fools Day!
A-H-I, sound like a low budget horror movie, but I think these are false. A is a guess. I think that if you did went to Italy, you would have mentioned it more often on this site. And if you had a black belt, you wouldn’t need the P90x program (or you haven’t practised it the last 10 years…).
Nice and original post, Pat!
Amazing what you can find on the internet these days… can I change my guess to A-F-I? Still a guess, but a bit more analysed. 🙂
I say A, C and I are false.
B,C,D,H & I are true. Good post!
I’m going to say C, F, J are false, but I’m sure you’re going to surprise us!
H J B i’d say are false
I always thought you had some pinoy in you – I am from the Philippines as well
I say C, H and I are absolutely false.
LOL! This is good Pat. You’re very funny.
My guesses are C,F,J. Looking forward to the truth!
Have a great weekend Pat. 🙂
I’ll give F H and I a shot.
Pat is full of surprises so honestly I have no idea but those are my picks.
😎
HAHAHA Pat! CHJ! Gotcha! Happy april fools.
Happy april fools. I’d say GHJ.
I’m going C H I
Love the post, man!
I want t0 go with C F and J
I say A, B, J
Noone has mentioned A C F yet…
False = A, C, J – I’ll be floored if you really weighed 11lbs 12oz at birth.
Nevermind.. I just saw your facebook page and picked myself up off the floor. lol. I’m also part of the 11lbs club (11lbs 4oz).
Hi Pat,
I believe the false ones are: F, I, J.
Coxswain and 11 lbs at birth don’t really go together, so I had to pick one or the other. 🙂
I just posted the answers about A, B & C on my Facebook Page. More to come throughout the day!
I say A, B, J
I would say C, H, & I are false..
If anyone has a moment please visit my blog and help me vote on a winning theme from 99 designs! Thanks
I would guess F G i are false!
I Would say A I J… Thats the False…
I think F H I are false.
I think A, C and F are False. Happy April Fool’s Day 🙂
I had a feeling that you have Filipino blood when I saw your picture. Given your monthly income, you’re already considered wealthy if you live in the Philippines. Any plans of retiring in the Philippines?
A, C and J are my guesses. (I decided not to look at the answers you’ve posted on facebook yet… wanted to get my guesses in without letting them be tainted by spoilers.)
It seemed…C, H and….um….yes J…
A,B,F are false. That’s just a guess. I know you are a black belt in something, hopefully it’s tae kwan do. My guess is that you have hold your breath for that long, I mean, you are superman, how can you not? 🙂
Haha, happy April Fool’s day! Even if I’m a tad late. 😉
Before looking on your Facebook page (no, I’m not cheating!), I’m going to make my guess. B, H, and J are false?
(takes peek)
Wow! I got all of them wrong. =/ Well, better luck next time I suppose!
Christina
you are a black belt in internet marketing = TRUE.
This is tricky but fun! I keep changing my mind, but i’ll lock in a guess that A, C and I are false 🙂
