Who were you in a past life?

[Deleted]

I just can't tear myself away from the computer, no matter how many times I try xD

I saw this on Tumblr, so I thought it would be fun to make a thread for it here on the site!



So, once you do that, let us know who you were in your past life in a post! I was a guitarist named Eddie Hazel.

Edward Earl "Eddie" Hazel (April 10, 1950 – December 23, 1992) was a guitarist in early funk music in the United States who played lead guitar with Parliament-Funkadelic. Hazel was a posthumous inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 1997 with fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic.

Donald Kenyon () was an English cricketer, who played in eight Tests for England from 1951 to 1955. He captained Worcestershire between 1959 and 1967.
Cricket writer, Colin Bateman, noted, "A polished batsman who relished taking on fast bowlers, he became the heaviest scorer in Worcestershire's history with more than 37,000 first class runs to his credit".[1]

Edward James Kendrick (December 17, 1939 – October 5, 1992), best known by the stage name Eddie Kendricks, was an American singer and songwriter. In late 1991, Kendrick, by now living in his native Birmingham, Alabama, underwent surgery to have one of his lungs removed in hopes of preventing the spread of the cancer. He continued to tour through the summer of 1992, when he fell ill again and was hospitalized. Kendrick died of lung cancer in Birmingham on October 5, 1992 at age 52.

Leslie Fox (30 September 1918 – 1 August 1992) was a British mathematician noted for his contribution to numerical analysis.

Why am I not good at math then?

Decided to go a few steps further...

Samuel Lewis Honey, VC DCM MM (9 February 1894 – 30 September 1918) was a soldier in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and posthumous recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest military award for gallantry in the face of the enemy given to British and Commonwealth forces, during the First World War.

Walter Aston Edward Blount Esq. FSA (7 February 1807 – 9 February 1894) was a long-serving officer of arms at the College of Arms in London. He was born the eldest son of Edward Blount. Edward was the third, but second surviving, son of Sir Walter Blount, Sixth Baronet of Sodington, Worcestershire.

That's as far as it would let me go. XD

Anna Sten (Russian: Анна Стен, 3 December 1908 – 12 November 1993) was a Russian Empire-born silent film actress and later a Hollywood film star. She began her career in stage plays and films in Russia before travelling to Germany, where she starred in several films. Her film performances were noticed by film producer Samuel Goldwyn, who brought her to the United States with the aim of creating a new screen personality to rival the popularity of Greta Garbo. After a few unsuccessful films, Goldwyn released her from her contract. She continued to act occasionally until her final film appearance in 1962

... I was beautiful.

I was Zbigniew Golab (born 16 March 1923, Nowy Targ – 24 March 1994, Chicago), a Polish American Linguist and Slavist.

He was described as "one of the world's greatest experts on the Macedonian language and the leading expert on Macedonian-Arumanian contact"[1]

He was active during the World War II Resistance Movement, after which he joined the guerrilla war against the Germans in 1944. He was imprisoned that same year, but has managed to escape just when the Red Army was about to liberate Kraków. In the period 1948–49 he was imprisoned for one year by the Communists, but was eventually released.[2]

He received his M.A. at the University of Wrocław in 1947, and PhD at the Jagiellonian University in 1958. He served as a professor at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin in the period 1952–1961,[2] and also at the Slavic Institute of the Polish Academy of Learning (1955–1961). Afterward he emigrated to the United States where he taught Slavic languages at the University of Chicago from 1962 until the retirement in 1993 as Professor Emeritus.

He was elected as a member of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1972.

His research includes a study of the Macedonian dialects of Suho and Visoka (published in Makedonski jazik), his habilitation on Balkan conditionals (Cracow, 1964), a monograph on the Arumanian dialect of Krushevo (MANU, 1984), and his last book: The Origins of the Slavs: A Linguist's View (Columbus, 1992). He also co-edited a dictionary of linguistic terminology (Warsaw, 1968) and was the author of more than 70 articles and reviews.


...I was awesome.

Saw this thread and decided to pitch in. Here's mine:

George J. Lewis (December 10, 1903 – December 8, 1995) was a Mexican-born actor who appeared in many films and eventually TV series from the 1920s through the 1960s, usually specializing in westerns. He is probably best known for playing Don Alejandro de la Vega, who was Don Diego de la Vega's father in the 1950s Disney television series "Zorro". Lewis co-starred in "Zorro's Black Whip" (in which a Zorro-like character was a woman played by Linda Stirling) and had a minor role in "Ghost of Zorro" before starring as Don Alejandro in the Disney series.

Kinda explains why I always say "sí, sí" instead of yes most of the time in my personal life.

And here's another one I could find:

Philip Ambrose Lawrence, QGM (21 August 1947 — 8 December 1995) was a school headmaster who was stabbed to death outside the gates of his school in London, England, when he went to the aid of a pupil who was being attacked by a gang.

I couldn't die in a more painless way? ...Well, at least I died helping someone.

Edmund Joe Adams (1 February 1915 – 1 March 2005) was an English cricketer who played one first-class match for Somerset in July 1935.[1] Adams was born in Shepton Mallet and died in Kingston upon Thames. A book published in 2017 gives his date of death as 24 March 2005.[2]

So I apparently died on March 1st and March 24th

[Dark]

But there are many people who share their birthdate with exact same year...
