About Haceem
What is haceem?
Haceem doesn’t really mean anything nor it derived from any language. No, it’s not Latin either. I came up with the name back in 2000 when I was installing AOL Instant Messenger at work and trying to come up with a screen name that would sound stupidly funny. I tried all different names but all of them were already taken. As I sat there thinking about it, I suddenly sneezed and it sounded like Haaaacccccceeeeeeeeemm!! That’s when a light bulb pops in my head. Haceem! It wasn’t taken at a time and it did sound stupidly funny. So I began using it as my screen name as well as my alias in my blog.
Why Go Haceem?
First of all, this blog was originally called Got Haceem? (like Got Milk?). But when I was about to purchase the URL, I started thinking wait a second, maybe I should just call it Go Haceem so it wouldn’t be like Got Milk? commercial and sound much more original. So I changed everything, purchase gohaceem.com URL and revised all the Meta Tags.
Who is the guy behind Go Haceem?
Well, there are a few things you need to know about the guy behind Go Haceem that you probably find interesting:
- I have mild OCD. Yes I’m like obsessed with cleanliness and being organized. My apartment is like a freakin’ hotel room. Sometimes I feel like it’s a curse, but there’s nothing much I can do about it. It’s like, I can’t leave home if my shirts are not neatly folded in my drawer or on hangers. And yes, I do organize them by color.
- I hate people who drive really slow, especially all those clowns who go 20 miles/hr on a highway. I don’t even understand why these people are doing that. Sometimes I see a minivan doing 25 miles/hr, other times I see a nice BMW 7 series doing 15 miles/hr on a highway. I mean, WTH? You think you’re on a scooter??
- I’m pretty good at math (contrary to what my poker buddies believe, since they think I can’t even count my chips). I even gave free tutoring in Statistics to my friends at the George Mason University Library during my senior year, and they all passed with flying colors.
- I’m a very competitive person (my close friends can vouch for this from many experiences). I once played Tekken 2 (fighting game for PlayStation 1) with my roommate for 2.5 hours non-stop while talking trash, cursing, and shouting at the same time. None of us wanted to quit playing until one of us got 100 more wins than the other. I hate to lose and I can be a really sore loser. This pretty much explains why I was…
- …addicted to playing Monopoly years ago. I know it’s sad, but it’s true. I used to play Monopoly 3-4 times a week; I would even drag my friends to my place and force them to play Monopoly with me. If they wouldn’t come over, then I would go over their place. I even have 3 different kinds of Monopoly boards and keep one of them in my trunk – so I’d be ready to play 24/7 anytime and anywhere.
- I don’t like having pets. To me, an ideal pet would be one that doesn’t bark, doesn’t produce hairballs, doesn’t bite, doesn’t make any weird noises at night, doesn’t have any weird smell, doesn’t need grooming, etc. That’s the reason why I’ve only had 2 pets in my life, a turtle and a gold fish named Bob.
- I’m a sports nut. I’ve played all sports, except for football and golf. At this point I still don’t understand how people categorize golf as a sport. I mean you don’t really break a sweat when you swing the club, and you don’t even have to walk from hole to hole since you are provided with a golf cart. Yes, I have to admit, it takes precision to be proficient at golf, which is pretty much the same as throwing darts. Does anyone consider darts a real sport?
- I’m a huge Van Damme and Steven Seagal’s fan, and I’ve seen every single one of their movies ever since I was a kid. I just hope they’ll win an Academy Award someday.
- I hate NASCAR. Up to this point I still don’t understand why people find it fascinating. I mean, all they do is turn left and go around in circles.
- I used to have a huge crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt. I thought she was the hottest girl in the world… Right until I saw Adriana Lima on Victoria Secret Website.
