I posted an introduction about myself a while back, but since I am now a new member of the >XI< clan, I thought that in addition of being extremely grateful for all the Admins voting for me, and for all the other members welcoming me to their family, I thought that I would tell you a 'lil bit about myself again.
My first name is Robert, (Bob). I live in New York CIty. I work for one of the Broadway Theatre's. My position is Assistant Treasurer. I am a member of Local 751, I.A.T.S.E.
I've been in this industry since June, 1995.
Originally, I hail from the famous Steel CIty, Pittsburgh. Home to Heinz, remeber the spotted Dick? WHy on earth they make that, I don't know? But, I can assure you it isn't a Pittsburgh tradition. It's those English Bloks. The Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates and Peguins. Black and Gold!
I do a lot of hunting, fishing, and like the outdoors in general. So, whenever I have off, I like to drive upstate or somewhere in the country to get out of this city. I also bow hunt. I like to dirt bike, riding my quad and 4 wheeling. When I was younger, I went with my grandfather to gun shows every weekend. He was a radio operator in WWII and flew in B24 Liberators on bombing missions over Germany. He flew with Jimmie Stewart and Walter Matthau on a few missions. They were shot down over Belgum and the French Border and did a belly landing and wwere in part of the French resistance until they were able to reconnect with their unit.
And my Dad was in the Army too. I just never enlisted because I went to college and was working. I took the test, but because I had a Prior DUI, they didn't think I would be good enough to kill.
Anyway, I have been gaming for a long time. I don't play closed consuls. I only play PC games and like to Mod my own systems and OC them. I know more hardware then software. But, I download a lot of software. I just miss Demonoid. Lol
Well, I guess that is a bit much, but I just want to thank all my new friends for their warm welcomes and since I've been playing on >XI<, I have met a lot of nice friends. And I am forever grateful to my Mama Angel. She is one of the nicest people I have ever known. And also to Cobra and Pitbullpete for sponsoring me. And to my firefighter friend Rockape for all your work too.
Y'all are a great bunch of idiots and I am the biggest one here.
Thank you....
