OK, I'm 36. Live in Oak Hill, WV. My hobbies are photography, classic cars, rockhounding and jewelry making, playing on the net and collecting PIG banks.
I used to work for a local TV station as a videographer/editor but have since parted ways with them and now work for NAPA Auto Parts. While I am NO wizard with Photoshop (actually using Paint Shop Pro) I still like to see what I can do with it.

AND...... sorry Jefflang007 about the whole thing earlier.............

Hello I am Rose, a grandma living in Qld. Australia. I found this place by accident and love it. I have paint shop pro and still learning. You people are so talented it is a pleasure looking around.

most of me is still splodge, some bits aren't, other bits are falling off, gaul blader is gone, kidnies have had enough, could be worse, could be rondo, we all know how bad she is having it

I just stumbled across this topic while on a mission to "ask the experts." I think it's a cool idea, wanting to know more about a person than just what they are in the arena that you know them from--or something.

Mine is a frivolous yet compelling story of intrigue, loss and coming to terms with things...nah, just kidding. I found my way out of Mommy on the day after Woodstock ended...which makes me not only 36 years old, it makes me one of the last of the 60s love children. I still get a real kick out of Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner.

I read somewhere that you can tell as much about a person as you ever need to know by knowing who their favorite Beatle was/is. Not sure if that's true, but mine's George Harrison. On a related note: The only time I ever saw my father cry was the day that John Lennon got shot. I was ten.

Don't get me wrong, however--I still know how to "kick it" with the young people--which is to say "I'm down." My favorite musical group is the Beastie Boys, my favorite movie of the last ten years is Fight Club, and I enjoy many of the latest trends in technology.

Man, now I'm just getting silly. I live in a part of Jersey City called Five Corners--maybe you remember the movie. Jersey City is just across the Hudson River from Manhattan...I like to refer to it as "New York's Secret Sixth Borough."

I'm a painter--art, not houses. Not sure what school I would be in. My husband suggested "Neo Yorkism." I went to the School of the Art Institute in Chicago after High School, but quickly realized that it wasn't for me. So I went on Dead Tour for a while, learned to play hacky-sack, protested the FIRST damn gulf war (fat lot of good that did!) and finally ended up in NYC.

Here comes the sad part: I was a bartender across the street from the World Trade Center, and 9/11 hit me pretty hard. I worked on the cleanup and that just about cracked my mind in half--seriously. I don't think civilians are mentally prepared for certain ugly realities about carnage...but whatever. That's when I stopped bartending--people tell the bartender everything, you know. So all these regulars were dead--lots of people--and myself and the other bartender at the place just about lost it--in different ways.

I was and am lucky enough to be married to a real stunner of an Englishman named James, so the family (got a little critter named Zak--he's ten now) shoved off to Merry Old England, where we had a garden that got ravaged by a mean squirrel all the time--damn thing ate my lavender and sunflowers and everything!

Eventually, I got better (there was a whole thing where I was diagnosed with PTSD and had to take medicine and contemplated ending it all, but you don't want to hear about that). I started leaving the house and all that, and then we moved back to the good old USofA, where we have 100 kinds of dish soap and we bomb who we want when we want.

Okay, so I'm a bit of a cynic. But if I told you that, after going through all that crap, I have a deeper appreciation for the small beauties in life, would it mitigate things?

That's just what came out when I tried to answer "who are you?" By the way, if you want to look at paintings, I've got a new web site: www.tiffcoinc.com But please, PLEASE read my post "YIKES I Need Help!" Before doing so.

Hey all - I was away for about 9 months, because I was having no luck - my entries sucked and I just felt like I was not contributing quality work to the contests. Well, I am giving it another go - because I've come a long way, baby.

I am 34, happily married, father of 2 and I work for Clear Channel as Web Admin/Graphic Design for 12 radio stations in the midwest, including all in St. Louis.
I will be getting promoted to a fully regional position soon.

For right now, I have a dreadful myspace site, /radiosteele
