My name is Evan, I'm 21 and I live with my dog Sienna(my GF and I parted ways recently). I just bought a house almost a year ago in Birmingham, AL. I go to the University of Alabama-Birmingham where I majoring in Criminal Justice. I'm still thinking of transferring to Business and using CJ as my minor. I work for a private company that manages Theme Parks, and I do IT for one of their 80 acre parks. We have about 60 client PCs, 4 servers, a cornucopia of printers and other nefarious devices. I'm responsible for maintaining the network, and pretty much any electronic device that is computer related(and the occasional call about bugs or rodents). My job is a love hate relationship. I'm a huge College Football fan, avid reader, weather fiend, and love to debate. That's it.

Hi fellow ATOT'ers. I'm Dave, a 37 year old heavy equipment mechanic. I have been married 14 years to a wonderful girl named Erica. We have a 15 year old son named Philip. I'm not really
a grouch but I am cynical and sarcastic. I bought a house in Central CA. last year but I still work in the Bay Area and go home on the weekends. My main hobby is figuring out what makes things
tick. Doesn't matter what, computers, washing machines, whatever, I want to know how it works.


Edit: Originally from Midland, Michigan

My name is Ben, I'm 18 and I currently live in Burlington, Iowa. I just graduated hs, and I'll be attending community college about an hour from here in a little over a month. I played the drums in high school (hence the username) but dont play much anymore. I'm not currently working besides selling random things on ebay, and my interests are friends, cards, and drinking for the time being. Gotta love summer!

Well, let's see.

My name is Andrew, I am a 30 year old former Midwestern boy (Ohio) currently living in Auburn, AL.

I am a manager at a data entry firm and currently live with my fiancee who I am marrying next March (yes, I plan on being quite busy March 2005). I don't really have time for hobbies anymore but I used to enjoy hanging out with my friends and grilling animal flesh. ;)

Single, no kids and never married. :(

I work at Mr Submarine part time and run a computer repair and upgrade business as well.

I am still dealing with the emotional trauma of the breakup with my ex GF from 12 years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I currently have no GF, so I am very lonely, but I have been meeting a number of decent women lately so I hope to be in a relationship soon. I will let everyone know when it happens, YAGT. LOL.

My only hobby is tinkering with cars.

Name: Benjamin
Age: 34- going to be 35 in September. People always tell me that I look much younger :D
Location: North Wildwood, NJ. 2 blocks from the beach and boardwalk.


I was working as a mail carrier in my late 20's. I literally hated my job and so I decided to quit and I went back to college when I was about 30 years old. I'm a special education major and I'm going to graduate this fall. I want to work in the elementary level because I love being around young children. I want to go back to college in a year or so to pursue my masters. In addition, I'll go back to my University so I can be reading certified. You never stop learning!

Also, I'll be taking over my parent?s cafe in a few years. I'll be a special education teacher/small business owner and I look forward to the challenge.

Jeez, that's terrible. I don't even know Spanish, but I could figure out he likes computers and girls with big breasts (and really, who doesn't), he's 29 years old, and works technical support for the last 6 years.

Apparently, the translation leaves much to be desired. According to the translation, PC's have breasts, and I have 29 buttholes.

its because he left out a lot of accent marks and such, anos is anus in spanish, however, anos with the ~ over the n is years. same goes for Tu and tu with an accent and mannny other words.

in fact, coincidentally, yo vivo en san jose tambien.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential.... very well, where do i begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.
