I'll make this short: Born in Bordeaux(France), 24 in july. Son of an expat, never stayed in one place more than 4 years, lived in France, US(Tyler TX, Morristown NJ, Houston TX) and Cameroun where my parents lived at this time. After HS graduation in Africa, tryed Physiologie, sports college, and now am about to graduate from a transport school. Been a Rockets fan since 1996 but don't get enough(at all!) games to be happy. Haven't lived a life as exciting as synergy but can't complain... ALA
I'll make this short too: - Went to jr. high and high school in northwest Houston. - Graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in electrical engineering. - Currently work as a software engineer/architect and consultant and live in Boston with my wife and 3 year old son. I've followed Olajuwon since his U of H days and I have been a Rockets fan since he joined the team. I was also an Oilers fan but less so when they turned into the Titans. Living in Boston, I couldn't help but jump on to the Pat's bandwagon.
Okay, here goes... I'm 26 years old, happily married, and living in American Fork, Utah. I grew up in Pasadena, TX, and graduated from Sam Rayburn High School in '96. I went to Brigham Young University to pursue a degree in Computer Science, and I spent 2 years in the Seattle area on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I finally finished up school this April, and I landed a job at Symantec, where I work on the Enterprise Security Manager team. My parents still live in Pasadena, and I visit there semi-frequently. Ultimately, I plan on moving back to Texas in a couple years.
32, live in Munich/Germany, studied in Houston for a year and became a Rockets fan then, also lived in Copenhagen and Barcelona and various places in Germany for some time.
You can take that up with Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, who have won awards for their work.
The woman that I should've married attended BYU. The most friendly and beautiful woman that I have ever met. She could literally light up a room with her smile. Despite conversations in which we talked how we should be married, I had to resentingly accept that she was already married. She was a Rockets fan that disliked the Jazz to boot.
Yea, she was truely an angel. We knew within a month of being in each others presense that we should be married. It can be both good and bad, but consciously and subconsciously I compare her to every woman I've been with or will meet, to some degree.
Always good to see a fellow KF alum. I know theres a few others on this board too, but I guess that should be another thread.
33. Lived in Houston nearly all my life. Sports addict. My idol is Vince Lombardi. Met cool chick at legal aid clinic at UH law school. She wanted to help the less fortunate. I needed a class and everything else sounded hard. Married and now live in Connecticut with our miniature dachshund. I will have 1 child. My goal is to retire early and move back to Austin. I am ultra competitive. My biggest pet peeve is sports fans who settle for medicority. "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser. " "Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." - Vince Lombardi
I'm 24, currently attending the University of Memphis majoring in CS. I would've graduated from Arkansas State University but they lost their CS accreditation a year before I was supposed to graduate. I live in Northeast Arkansas in a town of about 60,000 called Jonesboro, AR made famous by then 1998 school shooting at Westside (No, I did not attend that school district but my girlfriend did) and I have lived in this town my full 24 years on Earth. I am currently dating a lady who is 22 and goes to the University of Tennessee-Memphis and is working on her Master's in Social Work. I work at a counseling facility called Families, Inc. and will be a computer programmer there once I graduate college.
Thirty-One, at least I think I'm still Thirty-One? Happily married, sorry isabel, to my wife of ten and girlfriend (same woman or it might be an interesting fact) of sixteen years. Three amazing children, blessed beyond that deserved. Grew up in LaPorte, now live in Friendswood. College - played tennis at SWT, came home, UH grad, finance - CPA, CVA - CFO of a high flying software company in Westchase H-Town. Life is really, really, good (except I'm typing from the office while the wife, kids and pool boy are at the beach house). As RM95 shared his affinity for a little known band, DMB, I too enjoy their offerings. I saw Dodgeball the Movie last night and nearly wet myself. By the way, if you are the idiot girl that sat behind me in the theater, cell talking the whole time, I meant it then and still do, "Keep talking in this theater and I'll end your pathetic life". Wow I feel better having shared...I'll pass the plate..
