I began turning wrenches at 15; Got into the auto parts industry around 20; Was parts dept. mgr. for a private repair facility for several years, during which time I worked on 2 pit crews in my off-time, and eventually launched my own racing team... (Built and ran vintage Mustangs;) Now I don't seem to do a damn thing- I stay home and take care of my 4 little girls, ages 1, 3, 4, and 6. I love them dearly, but I don't know where they hide my time....(...one day you find ten years have got behind you-) That's SOOOO true!

I have studied mathematics the past two years. I am going to take the upcoming school year off. I do not know what I want to do with my life, but I am absolutely certain I do not want to be a math teacher. I think I would enjoy being a lawyer who fights for the little guy.

At the moment, I have a clerical job. The drive to and from work is rather long (I take the Interstate in the morning, and a scenic highway after work). On the way to work, I listen to Imus In The Morning. During the drive home, I think and/or listen to music (I couldn't get "Please, Please Me" out of my head today, for some odd reason).

Whenever I am not at work or driving, I am either reading, writing, chatting, watching a movie, playing a video game, eating, using the washroom, sleeping, or actually doing something relatively "social." Oh yeah, I listen to music quite a bit...I happen to love this band called Pink Floyd. Ever hear of them? :lol:

I would like to be more creative. I hope I will someday write a script (I have about half a dozen plots in my head) and learn how to play the piano and guitar. And I will eventually figure out what I want to do with my life...I hope.

Write those ideas down now so if you get sidetracked you'll remember them.

This club a typical acid/ e house or is it quite sober? And also what's your DJ name?

You have a cool job.

I'm at school still, wanting to go to film school at the end and write some good scripts if i can. I work part time at a cinema (weekends only) so i get plenty influence in this, seeing atleast one crap film every 2 weeks i can become more self assured in my desired line of work.

12, we're a highly mainstream cinema so basically we don't show good films like Igby Goes Down and instead show crap films like Dumb And Dumberer. Everything is over priced and it's a branch of Ster Century.

Is there somewhere a cinema which shows only only neo-realistic and very ART-movies? I was so disappointed when Salo - 120 Days of Sodom were shown in Finland only in one theatre, in our capital city. This world needs a good cinema with ony classics (Like ******** ********:lol: )

EDITED BY ADMIN - No sexual references please no matter how "funny" the film!! :-)

Edinburgh has 2 cinemas dedicated to art films and the film festival is going to be done partly in Ster this year. This is around the fringe time where i advise everyone to come to edinburgh and experience the unique atmosphere.

I will be entering college in the coming fall, probably will major in the humanities, anything without math involved. For now I unfortunately work at a fast food joint, saving up to buy me a laptop. Never was a huge fan of fast food, this experience doesn't change that any. Think maybe bartending would be an interesting college part-time job.
