[HCSF] In an effort to get to know everyone here better...

you egomaniac.

I'd bet you're the only person who lists specific wines and jazz artists in their bio on the entire JC!

 

Late night coffee's got me buzzed, so I can't get to sleep...why not read message boards?

First Name: Mike
Age: 26
When you first found the JC: Lurked before AOTC and got semi-spoiled...stayed away until joining 3NS about 5 or 6 months ago.

Fave drinks: Cherry coke (non alcohol), Newcastle Brown Ale (alcohol)
Fave food: Mexican
Fave books: High Fidelity, Interview with the Vampire, Le Morte D'Arthur

I'm surprised that there are this many hockey fans on 3NS. Every day without the NHL is at least one day closer to ROTS-that's the ONLY way I'm coping!

 

bswb i feel your pain w/ the lockout, heck my nephew still cries over it. hopefully the big men acting like little children over money will soon grow up.

Before I post this, I'd like to tell everyone a quote I like to acutally follow everyday. In ESB, when Luke is asking Yoda, "But how will I know the good side from the bad"? Yoda replies, "You will KNOOOOWWWWW...when you are calm, at peace". I know Yoda is talking about the Force, but I apply it as good or bad choices. I actually think about that when something bothers me at work, at home, or anywhere. I feel if I remain calm about bad situations, I can solve them. It really, really helps. Yeah, I know it's not a big secret to try to be calm when something is bothering you, but I think it makes a difference when one of your favorite characters from your favorite movie is saying it! And the way he says it, like an old friend giving good advice. I just thought I would share that with everyone, for my part.

 

I do that with my college exams!



Too cool man!
