tell me something interesting about yourself.

[boozehound]

Well? What is the one thing about you that I, a stranger, would find interesting/weird?


I was born with a deformed ear (have very limited hearing in it) and am an excellent musician (playing most stringed and keyed instruments) despite it.


My caulk has inspired t-shirts with the slogan "my god, my girth" by several girls I used to bang.


I once lived out of hotels for 3+ years straight. Interesting? Maybe not, but definitely weird.

[MMM]

I'm the least interesting man in the world

I'm so disinteresting(is that the right word) that I can't make that comment into a Dos Equis joke

[Lakerlove420]

Not sure if it is interesting or weird..(maybe just sad but ..
I have struggled with drug addiction from 13 through 26 years old.
A big portion of my life. (I am now 5 years clean though)
I have spent many years locked up (over 3 years of my life..total)

[GatorKid117]

I have pectus excavatum, pretty much a tiny hole in my chest. Used to hate it when I was younger but I'm cool with it now.

I know.. esp.. LOJ.. I know he has had some issues with drugs and I even once said something about him regarding that sort of thing and I regret it because me of all people know how it is and where he was coming from.

I'm not worried about it.. I have spoke about it briefly before on this board..

Yeah, I dont think most posters are gonna really ride you about it (other than the regular assholes). Was your prison time due to drugs? Glad to see you have stayed on the horse for 5 years, that is impressive.

huh, that is odd. do you have them strung differently or just turn it upside down? I cant begin to play left handed beyond very basic chording and strumming.

yes due to drugs. When I was 18 I was slanging big time and got popped for
Possesion and Sales (Meth felonies). So then I was in the system, on probation and never complying, just running a muck ever time I got out of jail I was headed back to the county to do 6 months here 4 months there etc.. over and over for violations all the while getting cars impounded, picking up new charges, etc.. etc.. in and out .. .in and out
All in all 3+ years of my life dude..
"wasted days and wasted nights"


is he on the wagon or off the wagon?

i still don't understand that term, even after seinfeld had his lil jokes about it on his show.

If you're on the wagon then you are sober so to speak..
Alcoholics use the phrase alot "I heard Jim fell off the wagon again"
means dude relapsed and is drinking again ..

anyhow, while in the first grade i was admitted into some program called gateway i believe Gateway for gifted children. believe it or not, wheyhigh was a rather intelligent child. we also had a reading system in our school(k-3rd grade) and every year you were suppose to advance to the next level. well halfway through 1st grade i finished the entire system and i began tutoring other kids.

Is that literal? Do you actually mean that you would gain sexual arousal from the act of drawing those types of trees?

Or do you mean that you attribute religious or mystical qualities to those type of trees?

[Thorpesaurous]

I was born with one lung. I was really premature, like 6 weeks. They told my mother that I was dead already and induced labor. It was apparently an awfull birth. I still occasionally bump into nurses that were there when I was born (my mother is a nurse, and worked with a lot of them at the time), and they'll tell me they can't believe I survived. They also claimed I'd have severe brain damage, that's still up in the air I suppose.

I was a walk on at a small D1 school, and was in a NCAA tournament, as I've mentioned here a few times.

I also spent about a year living in Prague shortly after I got out of college. A few buddies of mine went out first. I followed shortly thereafter. I spent a summer living in San Diego as well.

I've missed two Big East tournaments since 1990. To this day it's remains my favorite trip of the year. I'd rather by in miserable weather in NY in March watching hoops, drinking beer, eating high end steak, and hitting bars after, then getting up and doing it again in the morning, then anywhere else in the world, which may explain my usual single status.


And on Lakerlove's long term narcotic issues. I don't have one of my own. I've dabbled with almost everything over the years, so it's not as if I have a holier than thou attitude. But I'm currently estranged from my brother as a result of his nearly 8 year relationship with Heroin. He's been clean for about 10 months, this time. And he just had a kid, my first niece, about a week ago, with a just turned 18 year old he met at the clinic. I've been through his ups and downs many times over the years. I've lost friends over it. I'm currently living back with my parents because they needed help financially because of him. He's lied, stolen, cheated me, totalled my car, stole my debit card. This most recent bender, which he started with this current girl, was my last straw, and I haven't spoken to him since last March, and don't intend to again. I'm currently looking to buy a house. It's put a great deal of stress on my relationship with my family, as now I'm the asshole because I'm unwilling to do all the hoopla surrounding his new kid. I'll soon be estranged from my parents as well I imagine.

Anyway, my point is I'd never hold anyone's issues over their head, certainly not on a message board. One of the sticking points my family has with my distance from my brother is the number of friends I have who are dealing with similar issues, and the amount of help I've given them. And yet I can't offer my brother the same, but my issue is that this has been way too personal. And it's not as if I haven't tried over the years. I actually quite like Lakerlove's perspectives. I just felt like this was a good spot to hand out my point of view on the topic, just in case it ever comes up and I come across as calous, there's some background.

I have a gross baseball story.

My dad was playing in a company ball tourny. He was playing short stop. He chased a fly ball falling behind him and his leg collided with the outfielder's who also went to catch the ball. I don't know what the shin bone is technically called, but it snapped and the bone actually penetrated out the back of my dad's leg. The dude who collided with him fainted immediately after seeing the damage. He has a rod in his leg obviously now and I've seen the part of the bone that was removed.

Back on topic: I find tuna drenched in cottage cheese a delicious and healthy meal.

what do you do for a living? if i may ask.

[Thorpesaurous]

what do you do for a living? if i may ask.


I'm an engineer. I work for a small make to print company in southwest CT. About an hour and a half by train to Manhattan.

There's a major aircraft company here, Sikorsky, among the world leaders in helicopter manufacture, and so there are a lot of small companies like mine around. Basically, I get sent prints, figure out if and how we can make the parts, and how long it's gonna take. And since we're small, I do a bunch of other stuff as well. Mainly trying to keep track of an untrackable schedule.

I make pretty good money. My degree is in math, and I'm actually using it a lot. It's not an easy job, but it's got it's rewarding moments.

[Dolphin]

Speaking of drugs. Drugs have gotten me arrested once and a year of probation. Drugs have been the cause of two failed years of school. Drugs have been the cause of me being hit in the head with a shotgun and held prisoner in my friend's furnace room by two black dudes from Bahamas. Drugs have lost me two jobs. Drugs have made me feel like crap many a morning, but that's the least of my worries.

Never an addict though. Only time I do hard drugs these days is when I go to a real party once in a blue moon and I don't think M is that serious.

Drugs can easily **** your life up before you can blink.

Drugs on the other hand have introduced me to a lot of people I am happy to have met and keep in touch with. I have gained a lot of close friends and people that would have my back for anything if I needed them. It's allowed me to do things I wouldn't be able to do or get away with otherwise.

Worth it? Not really, but now that I don't do that stuff, I can say I like the position in life I have.

[wheyhigh]

i've never done a drug other than marijuana but it's become a very strong addiciton...to the point that i smoke it multiple times a day and it's begining to ruin my character. i've broken up with 2 chicks in the past year because of this and i go off at anyone for any dumb reason (i get upset quickly).

While I can understand your unwillingness to re-engage your brother after his long bout with H, I would suggest you reconsider, at least a little bit, for the sake of your niece. This isnt a choice she has made in life, and will need the love and support of her uncle, esp. if her dad isnt the best male role model. So, let it simmer and maintain your distance from your brother, but I would hope you will become engaged in your nieces life as she gets older.

[Crown&Coke]

I got cut in the lower arm between my elbow and my wrist by some fkin moron with a huge kitchen knife who was beating his wife and I tried to stop him. Took 10 stitches to close it up. Didn't know I was cut until blood was rolling off my fingertips and it felt like my arm I was in the shower. I clocked the guy 2x before he ran off like a lil biotch. I was 15 at the time, he was about 35.

I ditched my freshman year in HS almost an entire semester and still passed all my classes, only one class I got a C, the others were B and better. The C was in PE :facepalm

I lived in my car for an entire summer after HS graduation as my mom kicked me out. I got a hotel room every now and then to shower and bring girls over.

My son is the spitting image of myself. It freaks me out how much alike we are personality wise too, but he is much better looking.

[Lakerlove420]

Wow, congrats on being clean for 5 years. Props to you for that.

Thanks man..It's all because of the girl I love.
She helped me change my life every step of the way.
I did it for me though..I think maybe I was just ready

I hope your M stants for Marijuana and not Meth bro..
because it is serious. And just you saying that. ..
"Drugs can easily **** your life up before you can blink."
true statement man..be careful it's a hell of a time.
good times and bad. Oh yeah there are some good times and yes I too have met people and had amazing experiences but you know . .
I like where I'm at in life now also...without those people.

Thanks for the thoughtout post and sharing about yourself (and brother) as well..I COMPLETELY understand your stance on what you shared.
I at one time was completely cut-off from my whole family. Tough love, no love what ever you want to call it.. I was in the dog-house. Lied, and stolen and everything... but I am proof that people can/do change. And there is people that cannot/just don't. When I was doing time there were dirtbags twice my age that were doing the same crap I was and they had been since before I was. In and out of jail and cannot wait to get out to go and see the connect and use. Just do it all over again. It's a f*cked up cycle man..
My parents started working hard on this before I was even 18.. spent thousands of dollars on re-hab. I got sent to a bunch of re-habs, lived in halfway houses.. when I was 17 they sent me to this ranch in Utah..it was like a boarding school/re-hab facility/farm work deal. I hauled hay, I castrated sheep, snipped their ears(branding thing) 10-mile hikes in the snow.. (real talk) and I wasn't ready to give up my lifestle..My mom bribed me to go into the military..said she would give me a couple thousand to put away, told me I would be driving around a brand new car in a year.. and all that. I said no way and they told me not to come home. The damn ranch in Utah was kicking me out because I had turned 18 in there (yeah that was another fun b-day) and the program is not for adults. They bought me a frickin bus ticket..so there I was on a bus riding back to California to my neighborhood..to do what I know how to do. Stay with friends slang, get high, and live life..
Less than a year later I was in jail doing a year and busted for Sales having felonies on my record (like I mentioned in the previous post)

So was my Mom right? Should I have gone to the military..yea man..
I guess so .. but that just wasn't for me...
I turned 18 in that place..
I turned 20, 21, 22, and 24 in jail bro..

I don't usually make long posts and I feel like I'm blathering (and of course there is people on the internet (ISH) that love to just get personal information about your life to bring up later and blah blah..
I obviously don't mind sharing what I have been through that's why I said everything.. I'm not hiding from anyone or anything ..I've been through the trenches and trust me guys there is nothing you can say that would come anywhere close to what I've been through or heard before ..

Anyways Thorp..I'm just trying to say that people will not make the change until THEY are ready to do so.. I've met plenty that NEVER were ready and they didn't change. . I'm just trying to give you hope that people can..
Congrats to your Bro on 10 months and I pray that this is his time..esp. with the baby. You guys will be family again man ..

(it's so awesome..I have a great relationship with my Mom and my family again... I hang out with my Mom all the time..even though I disappeared for 10 years I came back man .. ..I did it man .. . I came back

I was once kind of a soccer prospect. I played for the youth team of a spanish first division club for many a year until cannabis found me. That, and severely breaking my ankle were the end of it all, although I still play pickup soccer quite often.

I've played pickup soccer with pro soccer players Soriano from Almeria FC and Cani from Villareal. It's incredible the amount of skill pros have, even a non-skilled, defensive guy like Soriano, and they were just fooling around.

I can't stand being touched by people other than my close friends or relatives. If you're an acquaintance and you happen to touch me, chances are I won't like you much. If you're and unknown I might punch you in the nose. jk, I woudn't do that, but I ****ing hate contact.

I got a BS in engineering and never ever worked as one, just a 3-month internship after finishing my degree. I'm currently in my last year of a BS in economics.

[step_back]

For the first 4 years of my life I was almost completely deaf, after 4 reconstructive surgerys on my ear drums/ canal as a small child I was able to hear.

Because of this I was late learning to speak and had elocution lessons up until I was 11.

At age 13 I played the alto sax which lasted for 6 years.

I didn't start playing basketball till I was 16 by 17 I was already playing in the under 18 nationals.

I'm left footed and right handed.

When I was a child I was completely blonde. I now have black hair.

This.
You don't realise until you play with them.
I consider myself a good amateur soccer player, and once I was in a tournament of soccer 7 where some former pros were playing. A guy that had played defensive midfielder in a Serie B (Italian second division) team was my somehow most direct opponent, and guys did he give me headaches. At one point he even pulled a Ronaldinho with a flip flop leaving me standing there for the following 20 minutes :lol

And btw one of the best guys I ever played with was a Spanish kid called Juan who had played in Real Madrid's youth team, was that you Lebowsky? :D

Me too. Even with my close family like my mother, she knows i don't like to be hugged or touched too much.

[rufuspaul]

I have a BA in German. It's completely unrelated to my profession but it's come in handy now and again.

I once had an encounter with a ghost, at least that's how I interpret it, while visiting a friend and staying in this creepy old house in New Orleans.

I once hung out and did shots with Anthony Bourdain.

I once drove from central Germany to Salzburg so high (combo of hash, coke and various pills) that I have no recollection of the trip other than leaving and arriving.

While driving a rental car in L.A. I got into a fender bender with Sam Cassell. His fault.

I own a set of whale oil lamps that came over on the Mayflower.

i just don't enjoy it and i'm very paranoid that someone will assault me. i'll give hugs...just not freely.

I hope your M stants for Marijuana and not Meth bro..
because it is serious. And just you saying that. ..
"Drugs can easily **** your life up before you can blink."
true statement man..be careful it's a hell of a time.
good times and bad. Oh yeah there are some good times and yes I too have met people and had amazing experiences but you know . .
I like where I'm at in life now also...without those people.


LOL no I mean mdma. I have never done meth. lol

I smoke marijuana all the time when it's available, but I moved to a new city recently and with no friends around I don't drink or smoke at all except for when I drive back to my old city to see my buddies.

So I don't do any drugs or drink basically. I eat healthy, drink only water (literally....even when I partied a bit I only drank water and alc), workout. It's a lot simpler these days. But I'm moving back in May. Not worried about getting into drugs again, but I will start to smoke a lot cause it's second nature for my group of friends.

Then you can picture the kind of stuff a guy like Cani pulled off. He wasn't even trying hard or showing off cool tricks, he was just playing and having a good time, but his technique, control and dribbling was something that left me in awe. He'd leave you ankle-broken with just a slight hip fake, just to go and dribble around the rest of your team and score at will. It was like a man playing with little children, at least that's how it felt. And no, that's not my name and I didn't play for R. Madrid :D

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Descended from Genghis Khan.

Have a huge fear of porcelain dolls with light skin, and frilly colonial dresses.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley in addition to Chucky movies. Many sleepless nights went by when I had to take a piss and I literally turned my back and carioca'ed past the doll to use the comode.

Blood Type B, but exhibit all the characteristics of an O lol.

Kissed a camel, a horse, an elephant, and a sea lion before.

Used to be able to scarf down chili peppers and jalapenos with no prob as a young tyke. Now I can't even take some of the hottest Wings.

Lived in a village, an inner city, a suburb, and an apartment in the middle of rural nowhere b4.


Was quite gifted in playing the oboe in 4th grade and naturally adept at playing soccer. But woe is me, for I traded my natural aptitude for my love of basketball and guitar. Both of which I am mediocre at :(

Have deep affection for anything dark. Frankenstein, Jabberwocky, Edgar Allan Poe, John Grisham, Anne Rice, Spawn, In Bruges, black panthers, black people, Queen of the Damned, Dolphin's dubstep choices..but never really got into the Goth subculture.

Straight A's/B's through highschool and in the gifted program, but never really connected with them. Matter of fact the folks who I hung out with in middle school are all either in jail or in the army or paying rent.

Mild case of OCD, narcissism, and ADD.

Nice.
This makes me recall one more semi-interesting thing of mine, that I have a strong fascination for languages. Not that I speak many of them but sometimes I just start studying foreign languages for no reason at all, or just because I'm having a trip there and I want to be able to at least communicate with people at a very basic level. I forget all the words and rules in a short time of course, but I do care about irrelevant stuff such as their etymology, phonology and the likes.
I often think I should have devoted my life to linguistics somehow, but then I realise I wouldn't have made enough money for my other interests :D



I once had an encounter with a ghost, at least that's how I interpret it, while visiting a friend and staying in this creepy old house in New Orleans.

Care to tell us more?


I once drove from central Germany to Salzburg so high (combo of hash, coke and various pills) that I have no recollection of the trip other than leaving and arriving.

Uh this makes me recall my trip to Munich-Oktober Fest this September for my bachelor party.
At a certain point I was sitting down near a stand, very very drunk, and remember that a very cute girl sat down next to me and looked very worried about my condition (kept asking my friends if I was ok) and then started talking to me A LOT, but I really have no clue what our dialogue was about. I only remember she was beautiful, dark-haired, blue-eyed, that her name was Hope and she was from Tampa.

So if any of you ISHiots knows a beautiful dark-haired blue-eyed Hope from Tampa... ... ... ... ...Nothing. Don't tell me anything.
I'm getting married.

Nothing really stand out (I'm as regular as they get I'd say), but I'll talk a little about myself :lol

- I've been called a cr*acker, a ch*nk & a n*gger by posters here in reps. I'm of
Arab \ African ancestry. I'm the only one of my family who's not muslim (I'm atheist) & due to my heritage I speak fluent Arabic, French & English. Plan on learning Italian, German, Spansih & some Japanese online :lol

- I'm 21, never did drugs, smoked something or drank beer (I rarely drink anything other than water & milk\coffee) & not bing on the club \ party scene. I'm also a virgin. For the latter, despite being an avid porn watcher in the past & being interested in the eroge \ hentai culture, I've never been attracted to sex. I plan on remaining a virgin for as long as I can :pimp: :lol

- My blood type is O Rh +.

- I consider myself an anime geek. Not an otaku at all, but I'm intrested in anime & japanese culture. I'd say I'll pick anime over any other form of entertainment that's not sports & music.

- I kinda close-minded in terms of music as I really listen to hip hop only. I'm interested in becoming a regular classical music listener tho.

[Thorpesaurous]

While I can understand your unwillingness to re-engage your brother after his long bout with H, I would suggest you reconsider, at least a little bit, for the sake of your niece. This isnt a choice she has made in life, and will need the love and support of her uncle, esp. if her dad isnt the best male role model. So, let it simmer and maintain your distance from your brother, but I would hope you will become engaged in your nieces life as she gets older.


I get this same bit of info, in varying forms of agitation, from people all the time. It's not going well. He's angry at me for my disapproval of the whole ordeal. I find downright rood that he's had a pregnant 18 year old living with our parents for the past 6 months. That he's bringing his daughter home. That he sees nothing wrong with putting this extra burden on our parents. And while all this infuriates me, and I see it all as little more than another outburst of his selfishness, my parents can only see that he's been sober for ten months, and nothing else matters. And because of this he seemed to think he'd be able to hold a relationship with this kid over my head. But that's just not gonna happen. I really have no ill will toward him. I hope he is clean this time. I hope the girl is too. I hope the kid grows up great. But I am through having a relationship with him. And I don't have any relationship with the kids of the people who live down the street from me, and this is at a point where I see it as no different.

It's put an incredible amount of strain on my relationship with my mother, who I've been really really close with since I was in College. She was diagnosed with Luekemia when I was going into college, and in part because of that I decided to stay close to home and commute. I used to drive her to chemo. We've had a very tight bond. But she's angry with me over this, and I refuse to be painted as the bad guy. Even my grandmother, who I'm also extremely close to. She had a stroke when I was a senor in HS, and has been bed ridden ever since. I go up every Wednesday to help move her around, change her sheets and stuff. She's irate with me for my stance on this. But again, I just with this outrage was around when my brother was lieing, cheating and stealing. If he's around, I'm not going to be. At Christmas he spent the morning at his girl's fathers place, and when he came up to my grandmothers, I left, and that's just the way it's going to be from here on out as far as I'm concerned.

In the end, I'm not entirely proud of where I stand. But just like he couldn't help how he felt, neither can I. And I'm at a point where I'm no longer willing to suppress what I feel for the sake of him. It's actually been an issue in some of my other relationships too, because I've been far more expressive about where I stand on stuff.

[wheyhigh]

Umm, I think I'm pretty boring... But I'm probably really f*cked up.

- I've been in honors/AP classes/gifted programs and was on the honor roll/dean's list (except one semester in college because of withdrawing from a class) and I put in about 5% effort. I literally hate school but can do anything asked of me.

- I got the Rod Sterling (creator of Twilight Zone) scholarship at Ithaca College, it was worth 20 grand... And I don't even think I applied for it haha.

- Last year I got 52 credit hours done in college, leading to even less of a social life than I already had, and an increasing post count on here. I need 12 credits to graduate this May.

- I'm a virgin at 22, mostly by choice. I've turned down sure lays and a few chicks literally asking me to f*ck, yet messed things up with the 3 girls I've actually been interested in in my life.

- I had a quadruple double in a playoff game.

- I was a 4 sport athlete at one time, very good at soccer, very good at basketball, decent lacrosse player, decent baseball player without having played before, and I could smoke anyone in volleyball (but I was never on a team for that). You wouldn't think that if you saw me, you'd probably think, "Hey who's that guy that looks like an extra from Wayne's World?"

- I had cornrows twice, and yes I'm white. I could rock them. I plan on getting them one more time just in case I go bald later in life and couldn't.

- I have OCD. I used to be bad about germs, now it's something else that's weirder that I don't feel like mentioning at the moment, since it sounds really weird.

- I've got hitchhiker's thumb, which is a double jointed genetic trait and is only noticeable when giving thumbs up. It looks like this:
http://askabiologist.asu.edu/sites/default/files/resources/articles/mendel/hitchhikers_thumb.jpg

- I'm depressed, and have been since about 16. It was so bad that I was sleeping about 15 hours a day at one point.

- The only thing I really have an interest in is humor. I think I would be happiest working in a writer's room on a late night tv show, or something like 30 Rock/SNL. I've also wanted to try standup for a long time. I plan on moving after graduation and taking improv/writing classes at either UCB/Groundlings/Second City.

... That's all I can think of at the moment.
52!? in one year?!?! i give you props. that and for being a virgin at 22. but 52??! i must replicate your dedicate because i'm trying to get through college asap.

[wheyhigh]

Dude it f*cking killed me... I literally was waking up every day just hoping to make it through :oldlol: So much school, so many papers. 19 credits in the spring, 19 summer, 15 fall. I just transferred to the school I'm in now, and really just want to finish so I won't owe much money. I went from sophomore to nearly finished senior in a year.
incredible...im thinking of doin 18 instead of the usual 15. that's crazy man, but i give you props.

How old is your brother?

[Brujesino]

I was a in the Marine Corps for 1 and a half before i decided to leave.

Spent maybe 3 months in a combination of county jail and military jail

I cant wink with my left eye.I learned that in the military while we were shooting AT-4's.It has to be mounted on your right shoulder to shoot.Since i cant close my left eye without closing my right eye i couldnt aim.:oldlol:

Iam scared of cats.

[Lakerlove420]

That's tough Thorpesaurous... and sometimes people.. esp. the one who is lost at the time and on drugs do not realize the HUGE impact it has on family and others around them..
I feel for you . ..and hope over time (years and years and years) he can somehow prove to you that he has grown up and gotten his priorities straight.
Even then it might be to late to re-connect with you and nothing will bring all the years that you guys missed out on and all the pain he has caused you and your mother and family..nothing can ever bring that stuff back or take pain away.. but time does heal (some) things eventually and he has a long way to go before you would even consider.. That's tough bro . ..

[Dolphin]

He just turned 31 this past September.

Ya, that's beyond the point where you should feel any obligation to help him out.

If you do eventually make amends with him, it will be on your own terms. At that age, parents and grandparents have no place telling you what to do.

I can understand feeling close to someone who went through the same ordeal as you, but to impregnate an 18 year old is worrisome. Not necessarily because he's much older, but because she's still very young. I doubt he can really trust her to stay clean, which is dangerous for the baby. That's a lot of responsibility for a 31 year old former addict (taking care of a baby) let alone a an 18 year old former addict.

I hope it goes well for everyone, but that 18 year old of his needs to be kept under constant supervision.

When you finally penetrate the flower you have been waiting for be sure to tell us all about it..:lol you are a funny guy too and will probably one day have that dream job as a comedy writer..good luck with stand-up..I couldn't imagine

Thorp, you said your brother is 31. How about you?
Are you two real close in age..



Man all you guys are contributing real sh*t about yourselves. .
and no one got dumb about it..
You guys are alright ..

Thanks. I just posted that out of desperation because I've been procastinating here all day (in this last hour I read this whole thread). Now I will officially feel pathetic if I stay here.

And about the opportunity, if I manage to somehow pull this, I'll be working on videogames.

[Maga_1]

- I was a Roller hockey (Quad) for about 2 years, but in a game i was going to defense and a ball hit me in the face and i couldn't see for like 2 months in my left eye and i quit. I played 2 games in 2 seasons, i was really bad.

- I have some hyper lax (not very much really) which is a good thing as my doctor said cause it's more difficult to me to broke arms or fingers and it's good to steal balls.

- I'm really addicted to basketball, i don't know how my life would be without this. My father it's a coach, my cousin is a pro player too and his father is a coach. My father now it's the team president where i started playing. (it's a team for poor kids to take them for the streets, a really tough thing to do).
I have thousands of games in DVD's, NBA games, NCAA games, european games, world championships, continent championships, under competitions. I like to analyze every offense movement, and scout my opponents that's why i travel a lot with my coach to see others team playing. I spent like, all my day in basketball (cause my friends girls and boys, and my girlfriend are players too).

- My girlfriend is like, 400 kilometers away from me. But we see each other, every week.

- My mom never saw me playing, she says that basketball will ruin my life.

- I got in college with the best exam of my town in my native language, to enter in journalism but i can't go cause i don't have time .

- I won some writting contests that i didn't know i was in, my girl stole my texts and sent them. (NONE OF MY FRIENDS know that i write).

- Ohh i eat croquettes like every day at dinner, and i don't know why.

- I'm learning russian cause i have a dream to play in Russia one day.

I was an ammo troop in the military. They taught us all about munitions amd bombs. I signed some of the munitions that kicked off the war...they sent me to Saudi for four months during the early stages of this war.

[NuggetsFan]

I have no motivation. Not sure if that's weird but compared to my peers where I live it kinda stands out. 19 turning 20 in like 3-4 months. Dropped outta highschool when I was like 16. Still live at home. Have had one job for about 3 months witch I quit. Basically an unemployed\uneducated soon to be 20 year old living with my rents and I'm perfectly content and really have no motivation to change that at all. Girlfriends\events have came up and still nothing really has gave me any motivation to change.

I am clinically insane.
that's why they call you ZEN :lol
==============================
suppose I'll add some crapola about myself. Was a jock as a kid , school and league ... but not a real popular guy.
Smoked dope around 18 , was pretty addicted up through my mid 30's. Cost was killing me , and just quit.

Good to see Thorp on here again.
=========================
This is not advise to anyone , but I am a very logical , commonsense type

I have had more run in's with people as well as family members/ some I wish would not have happened , some issues they created and suffered for it.

The most we can do for any individual is respect them.
When they loss our respect , it doesn't mean we can not still communicate with them.
This is very tough , and I am still learning lifes lessons about the complexities of people.
It's very hard to understand , but you can still care , love and even help someone that you have lost respect for.
I won't elaborate - but we can't think all the time , that people should live up to our standards.
(I guess I am talking alittle bit about myself :( )

:oldlol: Thanks man... I guess I should've said I've never done anything super extravagant or worth writing a book about.

I do plan on trying to walk the entire Appalachian Trail at some point. I'd keep a journal and potentially try and pimp it for a book deal or something.
my old hiking buddy was doing that one summer. less than a week in, he took a nasty fall and tore up his knee ligaments (not sure which ones). He had saved up and set it up so he had something like 4 months off to do it.

[Jailblazers7]

Damn, that's rough.

I used to hike with my dad in mountains in Arizona every time we visited relatives. I figure I just need to get in better shape and gather about 1500 bucks for supplies (I have most backpacking stuff already). I'd probably go and find some people in the AT forums/site to hike bits and pieces with me.

Me and my dad hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up when we visited Arizona. It was a really cool experience.

[pete's montreux]

I read this entire thread and couldn't relate to anyone.

[wheyhigh]

I've weirdly never been to the Grand Canyon, even though I used to live in Arizona. The southwest is really cool to hike in around April. You can walk from desert to snow to waterfalls, totally surreal at times.
You use to live in arizona? When?!a duude hit me up nxt time you roll out to az. I'm in phx

When I was about 13, I was curious about gay guys and why they liked to put it in eachother's butts. I assumed it must feel good, so I took a plastic toy sword and put it up my butt. It didn't feel good, so I was turned off from gaydom.


:lol


Shannon have you been getting my PM's? Please rep when you can. This is your old buddy here, RG.

[Thorpesaurous]

Umm, I think I'm pretty boring... But I'm probably really f*cked up.

- I've been in honors/AP classes/gifted programs and was on the honor roll/dean's list (except one semester in college because of withdrawing from a class) and I put in about 5% effort. I literally hate school but can do anything asked of me.

- I got the Rod Sterling (creator of Twilight Zone) scholarship at Ithaca College, it was worth 20 grand... And I don't even think I applied for it haha.

- Last year I got 52 credit hours done in college, leading to even less of a social life than I already had, and an increasing post count on here. I need 12 credits to graduate this May.

- I'm a virgin at 22, mostly by choice. I've turned down sure lays and a few chicks literally asking me to f*ck, yet messed things up with the 3 girls I've actually been interested in in my life.

- I had a quadruple double in a playoff game.

- I was a 4 sport athlete at one time, very good at soccer, very good at basketball, decent lacrosse player, decent baseball player without having played before, and I could smoke anyone in volleyball (but I was never on a team for that). You wouldn't think that if you saw me, you'd probably think, "Hey who's that guy that looks like an extra from Wayne's World?"

- I had cornrows twice, and yes I'm white. I could rock them. I plan on getting them one more time just in case I go bald later in life and couldn't.

- I have OCD. I used to be bad about germs, now it's something else that's weirder that I don't feel like mentioning at the moment, since it sounds really weird.

- I've got hitchhiker's thumb, which is a double jointed genetic trait and is only noticeable when giving thumbs up. It looks like this:
http://askabiologist.asu.edu/sites/default/files/resources/articles/mendel/hitchhikers_thumb.jpg

- I'm depressed, and have been since about 16. It was so bad that I was sleeping about 15 hours a day at one point.

- The only thing I really have an interest in is humor. I think I would be happiest working in a writer's room on a late night tv show, or something like 30 Rock/SNL. I've also wanted to try standup for a long time. I plan on moving after graduation and taking improv/writing classes at either UCB/Groundlings/Second City.

... That's all I can think of at the moment.



You and I have a good deal in common. I've fought depression for most of my life. Was medicated for it some during HS, College, and early out of college, and finally decided that medication simply wasn't the answer for me. I still go through spells. Last year I once went 6 whole days without ever saying a word. I've never slept heavily from it though. I actually have sleeping problems. I don't get much more than 4-5 hours without help from some pot.
I had a similar academic record as well. A similar athletic background. Also had cornrows in HS (and I am bald now). And I've always had an almost academic interest in comedy. Reading bios. I've read about stuff like joke structure. And I did actually do some open mic stand up nights at comedy clubs when I was in my early twenties. It usually went pretty well too, but I could never get comfortable with it.

I have sleeping problems too. I can fall asleep easily, but 2/3 of the time I will wake up around 3-5am and will start thinking of crap. I don't get stressed during the day, but the thoughts I have at these times are eerie as **** and depressing. I usually can't get back to sleep for 3 or so hours. I finally sleep again for 3 hours, but I bottom out at mid afternoon. Sucks cause it forces me to go to the gym at night always.

I don't know what it is, but if I wake up at these early hours instantly I start to think about bad things that might happen to me later on in life. It's always the same stuff, but I never resolve it in my head.

[golddigger31]

That wouldn't stop me from whistling at you , and snapping my fingers , come heathier :lol

Don't tell your boyfriend :D

Hence, I am really bad at picking up on people!!

this thread is good...a lot of interesting tid bits about posters...I usually hate "poster threads" but this one is good stuff...


I was trying to think of something that sets me apart and I think the thing that most people would be shocked about me is the amount of 'dirt" I have done in my life, I used to be a flat out menace to society. Some of the stuff is bad to the point that I wouldn't even type in here...I have been in and out of jail quite a bit, I went through a period where I stole dozens of credit cards from people and went on shopping sprees at malls, I have robbed homes, i have robbed stores, I have robbed drug dealers, insurance scams, gun play outside of bars, pulling guns on people INSIDE of bars, I have driven plastered literally 1,000+ times, I have jumped people with friends and been jumped by others dozens of times, I have been robbed at gun point, I have spiked girl friends drinks with drugs, done and sold almost everything minus crack, I have friends that have been in and out of prison and friends that have died...and that is just the stuff that comes to mind real quick minus the stuff I am not willing to type out here...

I have never killed anyone (thank God) nor raped (I know people that have done both though)...so it isn't quite over the top like that but I have done federal offenses...but yeah, I was a serious POS when I was younger...

let it be known that I am no where near this type of person today and I am not proud of my past at all, and if you saw me I look NOTHING like a criminal, I am thin built guy that is often refered to as "cute"...I look like I am 25 years old but I am in my 30s...I look completely harmless for the most part, not someone that you would think has a history like mine.

But have you ever banged a hoe in South Beach hotel public bathroom and ran from cops cause security called them while on E and probation? :roll:

Just wondering. I wish I had.....

I won cities for the 1000m in grade 8. Not too special, but I lived in a city of 400,000 people so there had to be some competition I suppose.

there was a good decade of my life where driving drunk was NOTHING to me...I didn't even think about it...and I even had a DUI under my belt...my friends never questioned me either, they would get in the car with me while drunk and I would with them as well...it was just the way we were...

SPEAKING of my DUI, I almost ran over a cop that was pulled over on the side of the road giving someone else a ticket...he had to dive in the grass to avoid me...

This is what they told MY lawyer though, I don't even remember that night...

but needless to say it is miracle that I am even alive, or not in jail...in fact I am somehow doing very well for myself amazingly enough...

[Jailblazers7]

I once got pulled over with a friend while I was driving drunk (I made an illegal left turn because it was 3 in the morning and no one was around) and the cop asked why he smelled alcohol coming from the car. I just told him I didn't know why he was smelling alcohol and then my friend went on a complete drunken rant about how we were just trying to get to a gas station to order some food because the other one was closed lol. I thought we were ****ed but then he just looked at my info and said "Alright, don't do anything stupid. Have a nice night." My jaw just dropped and we drove to the gas station, picked up some subs, and went home.

The worst part was that same morning I had just been in court and let off for an underage and a public drunkeness. And the story of how I got those charges is something I can only tell bits and pieces of but the gist of it was half my face was completely bloody (either fell or got the shit beat out of me lol), I wondered around the city for a few hours blacked out, and I came to in someone's older couples car who took me back to the dorms and the guy driving was dressed as Fred Flintstone.

[Quizno]

i don't have all that much to say but i'll give it a shot

- i played varsity basketball and baseball in high school. i was only okay at basketball but i was really good at baseball. i got all-league honors and was scouted by some local universities. i only graduated last year and i'm not playing ball for the school i go to but i'm probably going to try to walk on next year.

- i don't smoke or drink at all. i've smoked out of a bong, vaporizer and a diet coke can but i didn't really enjoy it. i don't plan on doing it ever again.

- i got kobe's autograph when i was younger, he knew some people who lived on my street and went to visit. at the end he signed it with "stay cute! - kobe" :oldlol: i think he was only a rookie at the time.

- i went to the high school ranked #2 in the nation for academics. i was one of two white people in my graduating class (pretty much the rest were asian). it was really tough but it paid off.

- i really want to make my parents proud so i try my best not to break any laws and to try hard in school. i want to be an optometrist.

- my dad's side of the family is extremely religious but i guess i'd label myself an atheist. i was reading a book called "God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" by christopher hitchens and i had left it out on my desk in my room and had no idea that my dad's side of the family was coming to visit that day. they came up to my room and my grandma saw it and flipped out :oldlol: i had to bs a story about how i was just reading it to try to understand how people could possibly be so deluded that they don't believe in god. i was pretty convincing too, that was one of my finest moments.

- **** traffic school (it had to be said)

I am really uninteresting. I suppose the only thing worth mentioning is that I taught myself through books and just dicking around, how to fix most problems on vehicles. I can do most anything (minus automatic trannys) on old carburated vehicles. Newer fuel injection stuff and everything else they have is harder, but I am slowly learning it.
Oh and I currently own two 'muscle cars' even though they aren't the prettiest, or the most powerful. They were what I had in my budget when I was buying the original piece.

Speaking of drinking stories, I have woke up in too many random places to name. I have calmed down a bit though.

What in your childhood/teenage years, in your opinion, prompted you to this sort of lifestyle?

By the way, congrats on maturing and moving on. Have you cut out drinking, or is it an occasional thing?

[Gr00vy Baby]

I've never broken a bone. At least not one that was mine. :pimp:

I was an all New York State soccer player.

I am trilingual (English, German, Chinese)

I like that old-time rock'n'roll. (that kind of music that soothes the soul).

I've never seen The Lion King but I love the soundtrack.

I've paid over 2,500 dollars in parking fines/towing fees in about 2.5 years of living in Los Angeles. I would be very happy if someone murked Antonio Villaraigosa.

I have big feet and small hands, resulting in a medium johnson. :lol

Nobody in my traceable family has died before 60. (knock on w00d)

I am 100% sober, I won't even touch a cigarette...those days are DONE...GONE GONE GONE...never again, thank you God for letting me be alive through it...

honestly, I don't know what prompted this other than just peer pressure...I enjoyed it, I got off on it...got off on the "bad boy" image...

I can remember going to a lot of house parties and me and my friends would rob the house...:( ...we thought it was fun...:(

I didn't grow up poor or anything, a very good depiction of what my childhood was like I think is the movie "Alpha Dog"...I don't know if you have ever seen that but it reminds me of what my friends were like...only my me and my friends were worse to some degree...and a whole bunch of my friends did come from a very bad background...I just liked being part of the bad crowd I guess...that is the only way I can explain it...

That's insane lol. Some of you guys do have some interesting shit...I thought my life was ****ed up. My very first. Day of high school I got high and went to class like that....haha,next day I was like wtf, who are these people?! Coaches, teachers aall knew my name and I was clueless as to who they were. I transfered to some charter school and sometimes after school in the parking lot I would get high with one of those teachers aid, he was becoming a teacher also, cool dude, played football for a major university.I've gotten semi drunk at school also. At that same charter school I banged this chick in the restroom, so fcking disgusting though, later I. Found out how many guys she fcked but I was high. I wouldn't bang a chick randomly if I was sober..sorry for my grammar and punctuation but I was drinking a bit

[Stuckey]

i have an addictive personality and got addicted to gambling, mostly poker but there were nights where i would drop a few grand on a blackjack table

i also bet a lot on nba games too

I don't give a sh!t what you say. THe thing is you know the value of hard work and have lived in conditions which would be fatal and wayyy too harsh for the majority of ISH and the American populace. I can only feel doses of the pain and tumultous days you undergo to fix cars in the blistering cold, but bear no doubt... you are a fascinating chap and you have folks rooting for you now that you've expressed yourself.

[rufuspaul]

I once had an encounter with a ghost, at least that's how I interpret it, while visiting a friend and staying in this creepy old house in New Orleans.


Care to tell us more?


The summer between undergrad and dental school I had a few weeks free at the beginning of August. A college bud of mine was in a band that got signed to a small record label and they were in New Orleans all summer recording a CD. I was talking to him on the phone one evening and he convinced me and another friend to make the drive down and spend a week there.

The entire band was staying and recording in a house in the Garden District. Supposedly it was owned by Anne Rice at one time (I think everyone in NO claims this). It was bought by Daniel Lanois who gained fame producing albums by Bruce Springsteen and U2, among others. He converted part of the first floor into a studio.

It's a sprawling Victorian house with all sorts of strange rooms, hidden stairways, etc. I was offered a room that a session musician had been using until his stint on the record was over.

Strange things started happening as soon as we got there. Lights would randomly turn on and off, areas of the house would suddenly feel cold to the point that you could see your breath. There was a studio room that if you were in the hallway you could hear what sounded like a TV in the room but once you entered the room it would be silent. My buddy said it had been that way all summer.

The 2nd night I was there I woke up to see a woman standing in the middle of the room. She appeared to be late teens/early 20s and dresssed in what I would desrcibe as an old fashioned nightgown. She had a blank expression and didn't seem to notice me at all. After a few seconds she disappeared. Needless to say I was completely freaked.

I went downstairs to find almost everyone hanging out in the living room. No one could seem to get to sleep that night. We ended up going to a bar down the street (conveniently still open at 4 am, gotta love NO) and drank bloody marys until sunrise. The rest of my stay I would sleep during the day and drink all night.:D

[Jasi]

^ What substance had you ingested before going to sleep that night?

- I have some hyper lax (not very much really) which is a good thing as my doctor said cause it's more difficult to me to broke arms or fingers and it's good to steal balls.

- I'm really addicted to basketball, i don't know how my life would be without this. My father it's a coach, my cousin is a pro player too and his father is a coach. My father now it's the team president where i started playing. (it's a team for poor kids to take them for the streets, a really tough thing to do).
I have thousands of games in DVD's, NBA games, NCAA games, european games, world championships, continent championships, under competitions. I like to analyze every offense movement, and scout my opponents that's why i travel a lot with my coach to see others team playing. I spent like, all my day in basketball (cause my friends girls and boys, and my girlfriend are players too).

- My girlfriend is like, 400 kilometers away from me. But we see each other, every week.

- My mom never saw me playing, she says that basketball will ruin my life.

- I got in college with the best exam of my town in my native language, to enter in journalism but i can't go cause i don't have time .

- I won some writting contests that i didn't know i was in, my girl stole my texts and sent them. (NONE OF MY FRIENDS know that i write).

- Ohh i eat croquettes like every day at dinner, and i don't know why.

- I'm learning russian cause i have a dream to play in Russia one day.


Well I dont think thats a good idea.I know a lot of basketball players and coaches personally (kleiza, sabonis etc.) and I heard a lot of bullshit about Russian clubs breaking contract rules, and even do not paying your salary.And the worst thing is everyone will forget you.I know some players that could have got some great contracts from below-average teams in Greece, Spain etc. and continue to progress, but they chosen Russia, and now after couple of years they dont have contracts.

-I went to the same class with, was good friends with and even lived next to... Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

-Was close to make it to the pros (basketball) in Europe for FIBA, at the age of 20, but tore my ACL in the try-outs/practice a la Shaun Livingston, it was a ridicilously bad timing to say the least, which screwed everything up, i was never the same again, i was good though... pretty good...

-I met and talked to Magic Johnson a couple of times here in Sweden, he even gave me some tips on my basketball game. He saw me/us play in his teams arena just before his team used to practice in Boras, Sweden. This is when he played in Sweden if you remember, back in 1998, the team was called Magic M7.

-Last but not least, I possess a rather sexy "buttchin". :)

man your crazy days remind me so much of my crazy days being a young hellion. (except..not as much gun play for me)

where did all this go down?
you grew up in Texas right?
I grew up in the Dallas metroplex which IS a city...many people here picture me as a hick county boy or something...Dallas isn't like that, it is big f*cking city, just like any other major metroplex...we have ghettos and bums and gangs and street life just like other major cities...

If you travel outside of Dallas you WILL find hicks and trailor trash, but that is just like every other major city too!!!

Hah, I know you have addressed this in the past about your city. Kinda funny what people assume, as compared to the reality. I've never been anywhere near Texas in my life, and I used to think that everyone down there wore cowboy boots and wranglers, and they didn't go to the bar, they went to the "saloon."

I might have been a little nervous...but not that much...that isn't the first time I have been on the radio...

i think I was more upset at what he was asking us to do...a little pissed

[pete's montreux]

My radio claim to fame was that I bet a local sports DJ one dollar that Maroney would be shipped out this season and Green-Ellis would take over. He said that was asinine, Green-Ellis was a career third stringer and the Pats weren't ready to give up on Maroney yet.

Hah, that was awesome. That host was really struggling after the point you made.

Kinda cool to place a voice with a poster on here. Would be fun if other people have audio on here.

A LONG time ago, I called up Sports Byline USA weekend, hosted by "The Regular Guys." While on hold, my friend picked up the other line, and we practiced what I was going to say. Little did we realize that our back and forth rehersal actually made it on air, and the host ripped us a new one, and asked if we were on drugs :lol

[boozehound]

Well? What is the one thing about you that I, a stranger, would find interesting/weird?


I was born with a deformed ear (have very limited hearing in it) and am an excellent musician (playing most stringed and keyed instruments) despite it.


My caulk has inspired t-shirts with the slogan "my god, my girth" by several girls I used to bang.


I once lived out of hotels for 3+ years straight. Interesting? Maybe not, but definitely weird.
to address the neg I received. Yes, I have played a hurdy-gurdy in the past. Its actually pretty easy if you have a foundation in piano. Now, sure Im not great at it, but I can play it effectively and play tunes like red hair boy, ashokan farewell on it. so, suck it.

Bored. Here's a couple more:

I haven't tried to in years so I don't know how nimble I am these days, but I at least used to be able to rotate my right arm whilst my palm was flat on a table more than 360 degrees. Around another quarter turn. People would freak out thinking my elbow was gonna pop.

Due to a "sexual incident", I have scars on my arm, lower sides, upper back and chest. The back and chest ones you can't really see. The arm ones are thin but noticeable. The ones on my lower sides actually look like I was stabbed other than the fact they don't look like deep wound scars, but rather surface scars.

knives and swords and blades in general are pretty bad for self defense, pull that shit out on the wrong dude and he will shove that blade right up your ass...unless you have like military type training with it something...

mace and pepper spray are good if you refuse to own a gun...
