Del_Duio Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) I'm Dave and my three biggest hobbies are drawing, making computer games, and making music. Drawing: Ever since I could hold a crayon to destroy the family dictionary or decorate the car and walls with an open can of paint left in the garage at age 5, I knew I'd found a lifelong hobby. At almost every job I've ever held somebody has seen some of my artwork and told me I was wasting my time working there. Computer Programming: Started this hobby at around the 7th grade with the old BASIC / Pascal language on the school's sole Apple ][e for fun, but it didn't take too long before I started to try and make my own games using them. Later learned Visual Basic and object-oriented programming, then waaaaay later started using a great program called Multimedia Fusion for my stuff which I still use today. I had some minor "hits" or whatever, mostly Hasslevania, Neil Peart: Mission the Camera Eye, and Equin: The Lantern. I've been working on Hasslevania's sequel off and on since December 2007. It's probably 95% complete but it's very hard to find the resolve to try and finish it proper for whatever reason. What's cool is I'm able to bring in my other 2 hobbies and do my own graphics and music for the games. This also saves a shitload of money not having to pay somebody else to do it! Music: I started playing bass in 1991 after a buddy first played me Primus' "Jerry was a Race Car driver" and that was pretty much it. Strangely, almost everything I've ever written sounds nothing like Primus but Les was my original inspiration to play (and some cool street cred that I knew who Primus was before they really made it big I guess haha). I played in some bands here and there for years- mostly with some friends and my brother up until 1998. In 1993 I bought my first drum set which was a dark blue / purple TAMA rockstar series deal and just love drums. (These have since been sold and now because I live in an apartment with 100% assholes under us I play a Roland electric set for volume control). I took on the guitar when I bought my brother's Danelectro 56-U2 in the late 90's as well. Guitar... Well, I'm not "good" but I don't have to be. I just have to be good enough to play my own songs and so far I can! My main thing now is a one man band deal called The Booger Myers Band, which is a lot of fun. My musical influences mostly would be Midnight Oil, Rush, Primus, Shonen Knife, and even Dream Theater (oh don't worry I can't play any DT to save my life but they ARE great). I sing because there's nobody else and though I don't like singing I do really like writing lyrics and overall song construction. I think I have a lot of great ideas, it's just the execution that needs work oftentimes. One day maybe more will come out of this band with others playing out but for now it'll just be me.

The Analog Cub Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I currently work as a public speaker and an advocate for Cerebral Palsy. Have you heard of Michael Kutcher (Ashton's younger brother)? He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age and has since become a motivational speaker. He gave a speech at my high school 4 years ago during my junior year and it was very moving. He got a standing ovation when he was done, truly fantastic.

The Analog Grownup Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'm a 31 year old middle child who is quiet and soft spoken. I can't pronounce 'th' sounds in the english language properly and sometimes my thoughts gets ahead of me and I stumble upon the words. I'm a gentle person who doesn't get in the way of others. I listen more than I talk and can to some seem secretive. If I feel at ease with someone I become very open and forthcoming. I'm not the kind of guy who puts forth a lot of energy to sustain friendships - good friendships doesn't require massive amounts of energy to sustain itself they give you that energy. I like to play music. My father was a musician from before I was born up until his death. Some of my earliest memories are being behind a drum kit jamming or playing under the stage at a gig. So it only seemed natural that I picked up the guitar. Part of it was of course a young boy looking up to his father. We did spend thousands of hours geeking over music and gear. I don't know where I'm heading. Sometimes I'm equally scared of living and scared of dying. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushCanuck Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I am a wife, mother, daughter, and sister. Family is the most important thing to me. I'm getting to be an old geezer, but I don't feel I'm as old as I am, and I'm trying to take care of my health.I'm a proud Canadian and I like cheering for Canucks and events up here, north of the border. I like following current events.I grew up with older brothers who followed sports, and my husband/son follow sports. (although my husband loves shopping more than me and I love sports more than him). Watching sports for me is entertaining, and an escape from stressful issues I have to deal with both at work and the care of my elderly mother.Musically, my first love is the decade of the 60's. As I've previously stated, my son turned me onto Rush a few years ago when we watched Rush in Rio... I'm a late bloomer as a Rush fan, but better late than never! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
