Life Let's get to know each other... - Page 7

Dr. Johnny Fever · 08-06-2012, 10:13 PM

There's been a lot of talk recently about what should be shared on CP and what shouldn't. I for one am not afraid to share some things many others think are stupid to share on the internet. That's fine and that's fair. Those folks don't have to take part in this. For some of us this isn't just a place to talk football or even sports at all.

Case in point... I started a football thread today and it went basically nowhere while threads about Cheaters and sauces thrived lol. That's all good but it just reinforced what I already knew about CP. A few people bitch about the offseason but a lot more people embrace the off topic threads the off season brings.

This place is less a football site than a community imo. I know that will change to a large degree during the season. So 16 weeks out of 52. Count the playoffs if you want since the Chiefs are rarely in them.

So if you don't mind lets get to know each other. A few of my best friends IRL have come from off topic threads so I continue to post them much to the chagrin of some. Yeah... too bad.

My name is Brian. I've done radio for 22 years. I have a 16 year old daughter as of last Friday. I'm a pretty simple dude and I like it that way. I'm part redneck, part "city" dweller and part college educated. I embrace the simple things in life but have an appreciation for culture. My teams are the Royals, Jayhawks and Chiefs... the one's I grew up with in Kansas and the one's I'll always love whether they're good or bad. I'm not on CP to talk about football or the Chiefs primarily although I am a fan of both and enjoy the discourse about them. I'm 43 years old and going gray fast. I don't mind it. I like what being older than many of you brings to my life. A little more experience and being there to see the Royals in their glory days and win it all.

Share some basics about your life if you wish.

Those who think this is stupid... always good not knowing you. Embrace the anonnymity. It's just teh stupid intrawebs.

My day job is digital printing, but my degree is in History with a focus on Medieval Europe. In about a month, if everything goes well and the financing comes through, I'll be starting my MA program in Military History. I write a semi-regular article on history at www.historynuggets.com - at first it was daily, then semi-weekly, then whenever I could - but I've been on hiatus for a couple of months now while I get everything straight with work and getting set up for school; I'm hoping to start it up again soon. I've been into swordfighting and medieval reenactment and living history since I was 15, but I'm not able to do it as much as before because of age and aggravating injuries.

No kids, no pets, straight, single, raised Unitarian but now a non-denominational Christian disillusioned with church, registered Democrat but functionally middle-of-the-road, white with lineage traceable back to European royalty, wear a mustache, drive a Magnum.

That's about it. Nice to meetcha!

Aries steppin up to the plate! We got a man here!

I am immortal. I am omnipotent. I reside in The Continuum, who's true nature is beyond the comprehension of "lesser beings" such as humans. I posses many extraordinary, "God-like" powers including the ability to manipulate time, space, matter, and energy. I have an almost omnipotent ability to perceive and know events in the past, present, and future.

I'm Brandon. I'm 29 and live in Tulsa. I moved here when i was 18. I previously lived in Olathe, where I was born and raised. I'm a Chiefs, Jayhawks, and Royals fan. I work at an awards store where I have been for the last 11 years. I hope to one day become a firefighter or a comedian, if the awards industry doesn't work out the way I hope (not looking good). I live with my brother, his wife, and their awesome 1 year old daughter. I enjoy video games, movies, tv shows, reading, and traveling. I'm very easy going and treat everyone like I'd want to be treated.

Thanks for listening, or not listening. **** you.

Born Aug 24th 1983 in Peoria, IL at that time up until age 3 I lived there, parents had a house on the Illinois River. My dad at the time worked for Santa Fe freight railroad, then in 1985 we moved to Blue Springs because my dad got a job offer w/ Amtrak working the KC-STL route. He did that up until 2004 and there were a couple years during that time he switched to the KC/Chicago route temporarily.

Moved to BS in 1985. Lived on Chicago Street where the big Xmas lights display is located. Mom was a stay at home mom until I was Kindergarten age7. Then she worked for State Farm Ins and still works there today. Went to James Lewis Elem. because the daycare I went to was in that school zone. This daycare I went to is where I first met Zach (Zoccer) from this board btw if anyone cares.

Then after Kindergarten, my parents built a house on north side of Blue Springs off of Duncan Rd. I went to Lucky Franklin starting 1st grade. Zach decided to follow me to this school because I'm really ****ing cool. Went there til 5th grade.....went to Brittany Hill Middle School (or Jr High for you older folks). Then went to Blue Springs HS.

During this time my parents divorced in 1995, they had joint custody and both lived in the school zone, so there were times where I road 2 different busses. Dad re-married in 2001 and my mom is just now getting re-married later this fall. She was dating a guy for a long loooong time, but his family and kids are such as mess from his other 2 divorces and she was unsure about marrying him because of his baggage but they were living together all this time, but eventually she was getting tired of his crap and she moved on. She has been with this current guy for almost a couple years now and is happier now than she's been in a long time, she's a great person and is a lot of fun, and so I'm happy for her, she deserves it.

After HS went to MU for 2 years because its a better school and my scholarship would only pay for in-state colleges, and KU was not considered to be instate according to the powers that be that control my school grant. So if any of you are wondering why I went to MU but love Kansas basketball, that's the reason. Didn't take the typical 4-5 yr college route. After my sophomore year I got a job at State Farm in beginning of 2005 and was an auto claim rep at their Regional office in Columbia, while I transfered to CMSU online and completed my degree while working. Then got a job offer in Lees Summit in 2010 and have been there ever since. Single child growing up. Have step brothers and sisters from my dad's marriage in 2001.

That's about it I guess.

If you play a harmonica, a dog will begin howling, this is their way of singing along with the song.
