but when I am not at the track working out I do do other things like.....coach kids around the community, I am also one of the "volunteer" coaches of the Rice U. men's track team and I sometimes help others stay in shape (personal train) and speak/teach at Christian organizations, but all that is very secondary to training and competing.

I hope no one minds, but in the spirit of keeping this excellent thread on-topic, I've created a place for our movie conversation to continue...
The Obscure, Unusual, or just plain BAD Movie Thread
Strange how some things work out. Getting the BB DVD was a personal high-point, especially after inflicting that movie (and it's separated-at-birth twin, Big Trouble in Little China) upon so many unsuspecting minds. :pQuote:

I grew up wanting to be a singer.. loved jazz, but my first voice teacher carefully taught me to love classical music and opera, where my talent really was. Though I studied Business in university I sang and studied music right alongside. I studied a couple summers in Austria and then did the competition thing winning the Metropolitan Opera Audtions. I studied and sang with some of the greatest singers and conductors since then. Now in Los Angeles, I do studio work for film and television, teach voice and coordinate a community concert series, am an office IT, and newletter editor in the Los Angeles area. I travel a good deal around the country singing in recital when I can. Right now I am doing whatever I can to help my fiancee who lives in Austin find a job here in L.A. so he can move back and we finally get married. :)

Wow, great stuff in this thread, people.
I just joined the forums and don't have a VX (yet). Thought I'd say hello anyways since I didn't see anybody else from Michigan. I'm gonna go hunting for one to test drive in the next week or so ;) I'm super busy though, working a full-time job and doing some side work (programming/sysadmin) to build startup capital. (Un)fortunately, my 1993 GMC Jimmy is starting to get in the way of profitable work so it's time for it to go. My wife drives a 1997 Subaru Impreza Outback, which I like but it's too small for my taste.

Great thread! I'm a chef / restaurant owner -- a private fine dining club in a 1912 mansion in Shreveport's historic Highland District. Also, husband, father, and co-shuttle driver for soccer, dance, football, lacrosse, gymnastics, etc...
btw, I've noticed quite a few references to HST and other similarly twisted bits...the VX attracts the best of us! We are, after all, trained professionals.
I am a support Engineer for the Patriot Missile system. I have worked on the Patriot missile system since it was put into the Army's inventory!
Velvis, that wouldnt happen to be a bed and breakfast would it? Might have to take the wife for a weekend trip sometime :)
It's not, but there is an excellent B&B (Fairfield Place) one block away with dining privileges at the Cambridge Club. Call or email me if you are coming, I'll hook you up. Maybe I can round up Thickness for a Shreveport mini meet!
sounds good, will probably have to be after school gets out, so we wont have to be here to get the kids up early and stuff lol
NDT / NDE (Non-Destructive Testing / Evaluation) Technician & Lab Manager - I do mostly industrial x-ray inspections (RT-II), but we also do magnetic particle (MT), liquid penetrant (PT), ultrasonic testing (UT) etc... Basically I'm a professional crack finder! That's what my wife says anyway!
:confused: Am I the only Teamster with a VX? I have been driving trucks and cars for about 30 years.My best job was a shuttler(transporter) for Avis in the 70's ,High speed all day and getting paid for it ;) Tony B
Teach modeling & simulation at the Air Force Academy.
I'm a Marine Officer, and have been in the Marines since '92. I commute in my VX 85 miles a day and use it as my range truck on the weekend. And I OWN "Shakes". Enjoying and understanding it was criteria for my wife and me to continue dating after our second date. "Body of Binky"
PC Support and desktop engineering, Very boring, but it pays the billz.
Need I say more? Though, I do see a particular trend amongst the "mindset" of VX owners. Don't we have a shrink here? Maybe he might shrink us all and figure out our mindset.
I'm into footwear design....not what I dreamed about in 3rd grade (the Bears always seem stocked at safety) , but I'm considered quite skilled at it....maybe a fun thread would be "What did you want to be?"
I'm a corrections officer in a max prison for women. My secondary interest is Child Protection Services.
