 Name:
Michael
Allen Israelson
Nickname: "Izzy", (but the D-school knows me as "4c7Thl98Qr(*#@)3zy") Hometown: "Peoples' Republic" of Boulder, Colorado Birthday: "November 22nd 1975, so I'm both a Scorpio and Sagittarius (that's important if you're a holistic crystal dolphin worshipper like myself)." Marital Status: Married to "Mean Jean" Major: "I spent my days curled up in a little dark box in the corner of the room, tormented from having listened to 2 decades of AIR SUPPLY UNPLUGGED set on repeat, the brainchild of my lost aunt hoping to cure my childhood delusion of having been reared by wolves. But I'm alright now that they let me cut into peoples' mouths. Actually, I spent four years in Bloomington (Boulder Jr.), IN, where I successfully earned degrees in Biology and Spanish, played drums for half the bands in Bloomington, spent tuition money studying at the Irish Lion, became an outlaw train thief, and climbed to the roof of each tall IU building, including both towers on the union, Assembly Hall, the library, and that huge smokestack." Favorite Saying: "I wanna be witty and clever, but my favorite quote (from HD Thoreau) is this (so no laughing): 'If a man should not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.'" Claim to Fame: "Made it into dental school without studying once in college... I vomited on Monica Lewinski once... I saw Elvis in Utah... I had to run from the essay exam on Don Glidden to be hungover in the men's room (no kidding)... If there's anything that people should know about me it's that I love to be on the move, and am very seldom content being in one place. I spent 1997 between Australia and New Zealand. The only story that anyone would really appreciate might be how we hired a car one weekend to drive to Ayer's Rock and accidentally ran over 3 kangaroos... and last year in Bloomington I was Little 500 Rookie of the year." Favorite Pastime: "Typing emails about myself. Although suppressed by the midwestern geography, more than anything in the world I love being in the mountains. Especially on skis, but even on foot just kicks ass. And I'm talking big coniferous mountains. With few people. I love to travel, and had to marry someone who loves to do the same." Mad Crazy Skills: Drummer for "Black Cow", "Scabs", and "Chief Complaint". Alter-Ego: "I am the 'Cherry-Dectyl' Pez Dispenser. I try and act clever and witty to hide the fact that I'm normally kind of a sensitive person. I think people who get to know me are a little shocked. My alter-ego profession (which I'll still do even if I graduate from dental school) is writing- I love to write. All styles. Even poetry. I once wrote a Haiku. Someday I'll write an ode to dental school. Kind of like this bio." |

I also did two years of graduate work at Illinois State University in herpetology." Favorite Saying: "I guess I really don't have one." Claim to Fame: "For all you Jazz and Pacers fans, I'm the Bulls fan among the group." Favorite Pastime: "Playing basketball, exercising, watcing the BULLS. My other stress reliever is taking care of my pet Red-eyed treefrogs. These are the ones that are often shown on rainforest pictures." Alter-Ego: I really don't have one. |
