BF2S Forums D&ST - Introductions

Jason, 36, grew up in the SF Bay Area. 

Happily married to Jennifer and I have 3 little goobs with another due in the end of May.

I work at the best law firm in the country (for 4 years straight now according to Fortune 100 rankings), but I am not a lawyer..I'm the systems admin for one of the offices.

I am an improving Christian having served a 2 year mission to Brazil so I speak fluent Portuguese, and I also speak Spanish with about 75% fluency.

I am what some would call a "gun nut" which makes me an interesting breed of liberal.  If I could define my true political stance, it'd be easy to see I'm furthest from both parties and all alone in my centrist/left views...which views you've all seen in DS&T so I don't need to get into it.  But on the gun nut side, I'm happy to say I love my new M&P9.

I love my wife and children more than anything and will do anything for them...that is where my priorities lay.  I play BF2 maybe once or twice a month and I play COD4 single player sometimes..and some other war genre games (and guildwars a little).

I plan to move to Hamilton Montana where my mother lives and I hope to grow old and die there.

I guess it's never too late...

Name: Lex

Age: 19

From: Eugene, Oregon

Reside: Ditto. My own apartment now though.

Profession: Deli Clerk. Sucks. I've also made a tad with my music.

Education: Through highschool. Gonna start college after this one-year break I'm on now.

Languages: English. A tad bit of Spanish and a tad bit of French.

Instruments: Keyboards, Vocals.

Interests: Music, Psychology, Evolutionary Biology and Psychology, Reading, Writing, Football, Baseball, Basketball, Rugby, Parties, Friends, Pool (billiards), and a ton of other things. Oh... Scrabble.

Political Leanings: Left. Liberal. Democratic. I am not, however, radical. There are a lot of issues about which I tend to hold moderate or conservative views.

Religion: I'm an Atheist, but that doesn't mean I dislike religion. I personally don't believe in God. Others may, and that's totally fine with me. A belief is a belief.

Hero: Douglas Adams

Music: A bit of everything. I tend not to like: Absurdly distorted guitar, shredding, mainstream country, mainstream hip-hop, vocalists with uncontrollable and annoying vibrato, bad drummers, overcompression, black/deathmetal, emo, this wretched pop music masquerading as 'R&B', Autotune, The Loudness War, screaming and "Heart and Soul."

Films: I like movies that make me really happy, and I like movies that make me really sad. When a movie is more than "awesome" and/or "hilarious," that's good. Not that there isn't room for "awesome" and "hilarious," as those movies are often awesome and hilarious, but I really like a movie that can kinda shock me with its humanity. The Truman Show, Hop (Belgian), Once, Magnoia... just a few of my favorites.

Books: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the whole series), A Farewell to Arms, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Nine Stories (J. D. Salinger's short stories), The Brothers K, Slaughterhouse Five... and the Scrabble Dictionary.

Just a quick hello, since I am a Newb here.
 
Live in the midwest USA, 42 yrs old 

College dropout a year or two short of a wonderful liberal arts degree

Studied useful stuff like art, art history, lit, philosophy etc ..Then I woke up?

Politically, by issue. I don't have a stance that I identify with as a persona, I am a 'lib' on some things and 'conservative' on others.

Not religious at all. I don't really buy any of the versions of the omnipotent being that have been invented by people, but I also don't think that rules out spirituality (or morality) 

Travels, been all over the usa, visited Canada, and spent about 3 months in Europe when I was much younger (18)

Books, music and movies: Yes 

Hot girls, beer: Yes



That's it for now, maybe I will throw more info or a pic in here later (or tomorrow)

going to steal that guys template.

Name: Lindsay

Age: 15

From: Born in Duri, lived in Tasmania for most of my life though

Reside: Gold Coast, Australia.

Education: High school.

Languages: English, tidbits of other languages (Japanese, german, mandarin). Not enough to speak fluently/form a proper sentence.

Interests: IT (Hardware specifically), Science, Skating and Gaming.

Political Leanings: Currently none.

Future plans: Either accountant, psychologist or something IT based. Although I'm keeping my options as wide as possible at the moment.

Religion: Atheist.

Music Taste: Rock / Altern. Rock / Techno, electronica etc. / some metal / Industrial / Classical.

Movie Taste: Psychological thrillers or any movies that actually make you think. Fast paced action movies are good as well.

Books: I don't read books much.

Travels: Traveled/lived in alot of places in Australia. Duri, Tamworth, Mandurah, traveled all of Tasmania, Kempsey, brisbane, gold coast and many others. Never traveled overseas though.

I've been lurking around D&ST for awhile but haven't participated much as, although I have strong thoughts about some things, I currently have no political leanings and my debating skills are not the best (trying to learn). I know I've got a bit of a reputation of being a spamming dickwad in Everything Else but hopefully I can change that image.

Hi Cairan,

Welcome to the forum. Do you like movies about Gladiators?

Did you hear about the guy having a clam muffing for his first time?

He was glad he ate her.
