10 facts about yourself!!

1. Name: Daniel Rocco Putz (yes really...Putz is my father's REAL HONEST TO GOD NAME)...so nyah.

2. Age: 20 (though i want to be 10 and 40 at the same time...)

3. I know people from niche sectors of society (as an aside...No one here knows the complexity to which railroads have reached...maybe WP can guess...he's training to be an ATC...funny story though this guy is a fellow fan of the railroads AND an ATC out of Sterling, Virginia...)

4. I am an ATCS junkie. ATCS is the train-fans geek factor...which requires part electrical-engineer, part radio-engineer, part computer-engineer, part computer-programmer, and part g33k to fully appreciate (of which I am a member of the few (about 300 people worldwide know the art). This art is what kindles my interest in railroads to this day. I DO have my Amateur Radio Liscence...callsign is KB3L*B...I will not give you the rest because you can enter it into the FCC's database and find where I live...

5. I am a Photo junkie. No matter the subject...people, flowers, railroads, sports...I can do it, reasonably well. I am a Journalism student and will be persuing a graduate degree in Photojournalism, preferably sports...

6. I <3 music. Except country and rap...which can **** my sack.

7. I have been to more places than the average college-aged yokel. Canada, Estonia, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, France, England, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. Half the people I went to high school with in Bumble****, Maryland haven't even left the tri-state area (Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia)...

8. I was conceived in Indiana.

9. I was born in Florida.

10. I was raised in California.

I thought about adding mine but suffice to say my life has been extreme highs and lows. From tradgedy to profound experiences. Thought it might be to deppressing though I've been encouraged to write an autobiography. It just dosen't seem right cause I'm only 42 and have much more life to live. For example. when I see a biography on TV about someone famous and there in there early 20's. My thoughts are ok, there famous and all but WTF would they know about life experience that would warrant keeping my interest. (with respect to an autobio)which is why I haven't at this point but I've journled my life for the last 16years. I guess if anyone interested I could post some stuff but..... forwarned, be yee, says I. (lol) I'm brutally honest except if that honesty would hurt others. My past holds no power over me and I march to the beat of my own drum.:)

1) My full name is Norbert Lickl.
2) I am 23 years old.
3) I have two brothers and a sister.
4) I planned to study psychology and persue a carreer of a therapist. Having worked in that field when I did my obligatory year as a civil worker (didn't want to join the army), I found out that the clients are more often than not MORE sane than their therapists.
5) Now I have almost finished my studies in the field of "Journalism and Organisational Communication" and am now trying to find a job at a radio station, as radio is my "love" and I seem to have a very nice voice. In fact, my new girlfriend decided to to get to know me better after she heard me talking for the first time.
6) At the "muster" for military service I was both deemed fit enough to become a jet fighter pilot and being a "militant pacifist". Due to the latter, I never even considered to follow the former carreer, allthough I love to fly and one of my dreams is to do a flying license.
7) Allthough I really like eating meat, I cannot even kill a spider, let alone something complex enough to taste delightfully, without feeling bad for it
8) Only once in my life I shot a weapon that could harm someone. It was a crossbow and I managed to hit the bullseye at 25 meters with my first and only shot.
9) I love reading. In fact, if I go somewhere without a book, I feel uncomfortable and nude.
10) Every thing postet here is perfectly true. (well, except the "tracing down" part... :D)

1 I have no name

2 I have no age

3 I am really ****ing pissed a Fulton County Schools for the idea of "truancy"

4 If I felt like it, I would just quit school and ****ing teach myself

5 My current occupation is restoring my 1946 Ford-Ferguson 2N Tractor

6 My less passive side is being brought up loving the smell of gunpowder and thus shooting rifles since I could (or not) hold a Ruger 10/22

7 My dream "vehicle" is an M813 6x6 5 Ton truck

8 I have Marine Corps blood, and if I don't join up after college I'm either dead or I already signed up before college

9 Some folks would consider me a "horse whisperer." All I know is it's a lot more pleasant to have conversation with a horse then with some of my contemporaries...

10 I have a really bad southern accent (all of my ancestors who fought in the civil war fought for the confederates...Southern by the grace of God!) combined with a New York accent from working on a horse farm every summer in NY, and I use a lot of rather British phrases from reading so many books written by brits....

Some bonus facts:

11 My grandfather couldn't be a Marine Aviator so he qualified expert marksman at basic training (Parris Island) and became a marksmanship instructor

12 My grandmother hunted moose in canada with a Winchester 1894 .32 Spl. rifle (pretty much a 30-30) and never wasted a shot, including on the bear that came up behind her. (Basically 1 Shot 1 Kill)

13 I've got a target with 1 hole in it that I put 5 .22 rounds in. (All in one hole) That hole happens to be in the bullseye. (Gee, I think I inherited something...)

Wow damn good shooting!! How far away were you?

These are my deepest sekrets <_<

1. My full name is Zackary William Ward, but I go by Zack and yes I hate it when people spell my name with an H.

2. I was born in Ventura, California and have lived in California my whole life.

3. I am 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Welsh, 1/4 Scottish and the rest is some German, Dutch, and Blackfoot Indian.

4. I am a college student at Crafton Hills.

5. I am unemployed :confused:

6. I drive a busted ass 1991 Pontiac Firebird

7. I ain't too much into music, but when I do listen to it it is usually Metallica.

8. When I was born, a friend of my dad's said 'Hitler would be proud'. I guess that was because I had platnium blonde hair and blue eyes. Something I don't retain too much these days, except my eyes.

9. I was kicked out of the Marine medical testing whatchamacall it because of asthma. Woot.

10. Oh yeah, I apparently look like Larry Bird to some people.

11. I was also born on the same day as Issac Newton. Boo ya.

1. My real name is HotDang, my parents were drug crazed lunatics.
2. I'm 33 with no sign of balding yet.
3. I've a degree in Electronics, specialising in Optoelectronics but I'm now self employed running my own computer repair business.
4. I've a good eye for shooting almost anything it would seem. I started out with air rifles, competeing in adult leagues when I was 16 with just a couple of months practice. I've moved on to Longbow and Recurve bow and more recently clay pigeon shooting. I'd love to hunt some live game and then gut and eat my prey.
5. Back in my younger, more irresponsible years I used to be quite adept at cultivating weed with hydroponics, even creating my own strain.
6. I am a dog person, definately not a cat person. My dogs seem to like cats more than I do.
7. I drink Bitter and live in the best part of the UK for my hobby with the Black Sheep and Theakstons breweries just down the road.
8. I have a wife, she has dreadlocks. I really have to restrain myself from punching the crap out of every moron who stares at her in the street (OMG lumpy hair, whatever next).
9. I'm a miserable, intollerant, cynical, grumpy git. It takes more muscles to frown than to smile so I figure it's good exercise.
10. Number 1 is a lie.

Well you ARE from Yorkshire so it would be silly to expect anything different. Geoff Boycott - role-model to thousands of Yorkshiremen.

I once met a professional Yorkshireman in the green room at Granada Studios banging on with great relish and in the broadest possible Leeds accent about how he was involved in the Miners' Strike in '84. Mate of mine deliberately put on his best RP upper-class accent and said, "Oh really? and what side were you on?" LOL :D

The only time I've ever seen a Yorkshireman lost for words.

1. I have used this game-name since Red Baron I; it means “the Bat” in German.

2. I grew up in Ohio, with Welsh/Scots-Irish background.

3. I directed plays in the progressive NYC performance scene for ten years, but not in some time now.

4. I have performed as a guitarist for even longer and continue to do so.

5. I play C.F. Martin guitars and am a regular on the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum.

6. I prefer cats to dogs and to many people for that matter.

7. I think Bob Dylan’s new album is not nearly as good as the one that came before it.

8. I have read the Lord of the Rings more times than any other novel.

9. I drink single malt whisky, armagnac and prefer English beer over anything else (except perhaps Guinness).

10. I think the neo-conservatives of the Wolfowitz Gang plotted to steal the American government for years, followed by invading Iraq to seize the largest oil reserves on the planet to make themselves the richest, most powerful cabal in the history of the world (and then used 9/11 to fool the public into thinking attacking Iraq had ANYTHING to do with 9/11, all to achieve their longstanding and secret goals) and that they solemnly preach morality to the gullible masses to get them to vote for their pea-brained figurehead, while they rob, cheat, steal, profiteer, torture and slaughter in the name of “freedom”, forever linking the United States with other evil empires; because no matter how brutal, vicious or evil an enemy, saying “they started it!” to justify doing the same thing only makes one just as evil.

1. My name is Andreas Ivarsson, and I'm 24 years of age.

3. I'm addicted to tea.
4. I'm studying cultural science @ uni.
5. Music is a big part of my life. I started playing the guitar when I was 14-15, but abandoned it almost completely when I started playing the keyboard 3 years ago. I'm not any good yet, but I'm having a lot of fun learning. :) Lately I've been messing around with singing quite a bit.
6. According to Jung tests my personality type is "introverted intuitive feeling judging", or "INFJ", and in the company of great people like Goethe, Nelson Mandela and Tom Selleck :p (beware...the test may reveal hard-to-accept, yet true facts about yourself)
7. I'm hugely addicted to japanese and south korean movies, tv-dramas and overall culture. I'm probably one of very few swedes who eat "kimbap" on a regular basis. :cool:
8. I was declared "mentally unfit" for military service. I then proceded to declare Sweden "territorially undesirable"
9. For some odd reason, everytime I visit Denmark I get yelled at. :confused:
10. Quitting tobacco was so unbelievably easy, I actually suspect I'm immune to nicotine...
