"I'm just your average heavy metal/classical fan."
My swimmer-and-computer-crazy cousin from
Detroit works for the city of Troy,
Michigan as a computer geek... wanna send e-mail to his pager?
"I made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of G-d as I understand Him."
My Auntie Jan is a trained therapist. She wants to be free from
employment so she can join the vacation of the month club; her JOB (just
over broke) interferes with her life. The most important thing she has
learned is to make a decision and do it; there is no such thing as trying.
"Don't judge a book by it's cover, 'cause it might be the best book you will ever read."
"The height of insanity is doing the same thing over and over... and expecting different results."
My cousin from Detroit is a vibrant, bullheaded, determined
lover-not-a-fighter who knows what she wants. As a Senior Loan Executive
for Summit Mortgage Services, she wants professional, personal and
spiritual success. (Don't we all?) She is single and looking to fufill
her life with a loving marriage and children. She loves her bulldog named
Bailey, she'll try anything once (as long as it is not illegal), she has a
lead foot (which will be a problem when she gets a yellow convertible
Corvette), and she has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh.
"Epic Burritos!"
A video game junkie with a computer science degree and a musician's
heart... he loves electronic music. Just don't ask him how to dial a
special 1-800 number to get all your long distance for free. "It's your
birthday... how do you do? A happy birthday, from me to you, from your
friend Ralph!"
"FloridaFloridaFloridaFloridaFLORidaFLORidaFLORIDAFLORIDAGEORGIA! Woo-hoo!"
Marty, a double major in music performance and music theory, is a
remarkably kind, accomodating, and thought-provoking clarinet addict. As
a member of Kappa Kappa Psi at
the University of Florida, he will do
even more traveling (for football road games) than he's already done. The
words ROAD TRIP! are nothing new to him.
"Life... what a great adventure!"
My eccentric mother. After too many years in religious administration, she's now in charge of restoring the historic Seminole Theatre in Homestead, Florida.
"Your heart is free... have the courage to follow it."
We're friends primarily because his dad and my dad are such good friends.
He's a student at the University of
Michigan Law School, and both of us love Wolverine Football. Go
Blue!
"Say something, Ted!"
Ted's been a lifelong friend of my fiancée Chrissy, and has a laser-sharp
wit and twisted sense of humor on permanent loan from a source that he is
not allowed to reveal. He is gainfully employed at CamSys doing computer measuring
systems. (Really complicated thingies that confuse me.)
"Sin is in, and so we begin..."
Defender of the faith, servant of the almighty, purveyor of all things
holy, alleged pedophile (never convicted -- yet). Also answers to
"Lollipop." That and he keeps kosher too!
"Say something, Aaron!"
Everyone's favorite firefighter. Aaron really got to be a fireman when he
grew up... if he grew up. He's a lifelong resident of the
Albany area, is in constant search of a woman, and can play the minute
waltz in forty seconds. No!
"What's that joke about men never remembering anything?"
The only technical writer I know who loves Less Than Jake. (Then again, I don't
know many technical writers in the first place...)
"Nathan Hale said it best when he said, 'I regret that I have only one * for my country.'"
He's been an English major, a math major, a published and paid author of
smut, and my former roommate at the University of Florida, where he received a
bachelor's degree in linguistics before getting a master's degree in
library science from the University of South
Florida. He is a vegetarian, a geek, a bibliophile, an employee of
the Tampa Bay Library Consortium, a
pacifist, and an ordained
minister. He aspires to be a librarian, a bastard operator from
hell, a chef, and a 900-year-old cyborg.
"A peaceful existance relies upon practiced generosity, gratitude, and compassion."
I had the pleasure of being the first UF student that Rob met. (Of
course, it went all downhill for both of us from there.) We are fans of
"Weird" Al Yankovic (who he got to
interview as a radio disc jockey at Georgia Tech!), Tom Lehrer, and They Might Be Giants. Rob has recently
lost his free will and will do anything possible to support his growing Anime
habit. Tenchi-Muyo!
"Anything is possible."
A sweet and poetic sprite of an artist who claims to be a Gemini...
"This is an absurd American order!"
A relative of mine who absolutely loves the German band Temple of the
Absurd so much that he created a web page for it...
"Say something, Mike!"
A Brooklynite computer enthusiast who decided to come to Albany for an
education. His six-week
Israel fellowship probably helped him aim for a career in
international relations and diplomacy. Then again, his online laptop shop is
practically begging him to go into a career in intellectual property and
computer law. He's also very active at Suite 101; he's the managing editor
for politics, law, and issues, as well as a contributing editor for
Internet law and mideast politics.
"Every day gets better."
My
father has had a life of extremes -- of sorts. He grew up in a
well-to-do home in Detroit, went through college and law school, and moved
to Miami. With two exceptions, he has been an employee of the State of
Florida or the federal government for his entire life. He's paid his dues
-- literally -- in the 1980s, but he reclaimed his desired standard of
living through hard work. He now lives in a city I don't want to
live in -- Boca Raton,
Florida.
"Hewwo, widdle wannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!"
My
crazy sister. One of a few people in this world that can make me laugh at
the drop of a hat. She graduated from the University of Florida in 1997 (like me!),
and began slaving away for the corporate masters at BankAtlantic in Fort Lauderdale.
She will be returning to school (location unknown) for an MBA in the Fall
of 2000.
"I wanna be an astronaut!"
His news about the computer industry is so fast, it scares me. He can write Perl blindfolded.
"Macintoshes aren't that bad!"
Again, I'm friends with him because his dad and my dad are such good
friends. He's a dedicated and loyal white Republican banker [my
emphasis, thanks to George Carlin] at Michigan National Bank, and
both of us love the Detroit Red
Wings.
