Introduce Yourself

[Chris]

Hi, I'm Chris. [obligatoryresponse]Hi Chris![/obligatoryresponse] I am a musicholic. (And, as we all know, admission is the first step to recovery.) ;D

I was born in Hampton, VA at Langley AFB on 04/22/68 but was raised in Western NC from the age of 1. I've been here almost all my life, the exception being the 6 1/2 years I spent in FL. (1995 - early 2002.) I currently work for a medical newsletter. I take orders for this newsletter. No, I'm not medically trained! Being an ER junkie is about the extent of my training.

Some things I like to do are read, write, be a TV slug, watch movies, ride roller coasters, travel and go to concerts.

I am not the most exciting person you will ever meet, but I have a good sense of humor, (though some would say morbid), and have a good heart. Life is too short to waste on things like hate and anger. I try to incorporate as little of both as possible in my life.

I look forward to meeting anyone that may cross this little path of the interwebz!

I am an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in a tortilla!

[Chris]

Oh, c'mon Ale....I mean...ebnozn01....tell us a bit more than that!

[ebnozn01]

OK, I am Alex. I've known Chris a long time. I enjoy pretty much the same things she does. People sometimes mistake us for siblings, but we're just friends. The main difference between us is I don't really care for Penn And Teller. Chris just about idolizes them.

I'd tell you my job, but then I'd have to kill you.

hey hey

I particularly love the more obscure bands from the 'sweet spot' of the 80's (which, ironically is from around 1977 to 1987 for me) - a few favorites:

> Wax
> Prefab Sprout
> Force 10
> P.M.
> China Crisis
> Bourgeois Tagg
> David & David
> City Boy
> The Planets

I'm almost exclusively a fan of the 'deep album tracks', but there are many notable hit singles that continue to impress... even all these years on:

> Saved By Zero - The Fixx
> Only The Lonely - The Motels
> Something About You - Level 42
> Save A Prayer - Duran Duran
> Only Time Will Tell - Asia

...just to name a few

(and yeah, Chris - I even remember ebn-ozn ;D )

Hello there ghostworks and welcome aboard! Glad to have you here. The 80's were awesome for music. "Saved By Zero" is one of my all time favorite songs. I hated it when it first came out, but it grew on me and now The Fixx is a favorite.

Just jump in make yourself at home.
