That's pretty cool, never heard them before. Man, they like long songs don't they?

Their albums have 3 or 4 songs on them :^D

This is probably my favorite tune...

I’m just a sinner but God save me by His grace; I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind, but now I see. Spiritually speaking! That’s the story of my life! Before the world was formed, I was in God’s mind, I cannot search Him but God found me. I can’t live without Christ in my life, my life is no longer mine but by God. Thank you Lord for saving me!

Basically I'm just a student - got addicted to nicotine many years ago but I figured I should switch to something healthier so I started buying lös snus(as it is all I can get round here) and after just a short while of using it (1-2 weeks) I joined snuson to get me some Snus brothers.
But seeing as I'm so young I hardly have much of a life story - I skipped the entire youth rebellion that most go through and instead just quieted down. But I'm building on my life story - this summer I'm going to bartending school so I can get a job(much needed) and then when I finish my IB diploma I'm probably going to take a sabbatical, work for a bit and then travel around the globe. After that, who knows? Maybe I'll study sociology.

I was always saing if your heart would be cloned and putted to 5 % of human population would be not such things

Thank you brother

Ireland's had a hard time too as a country. In 1845 we had the great famine here, where over a million people died and a million more emigrated. Isn't that hard to believe, just over a hundred and sixty years ago the Irish were starving and other countries around us were prospering. But that's history, isn't it. Up the north there was the troubles which went on for years and is still not finished. I don't know, the world can be a hard place can't it?

What pisses me off about the famine is that Ireland had plenty of food but the English land owners shipped ALL of it out. That's genocide.
It's incredible to think that the population of Ireland is still suffering today - and it wasn't that long ago really.

Thanks for telling us GN. Armenia has had a hard time as a country, hasn't it? I knew about the Armenian genocide at the hands of the Turks, which i believe to this day they refuse to acknowledge, but wasn't aware of the earthquake or the war. That must have been tough on your parents brother.

Very interesting Roo. You're definately a traveller - anybody that takes to Far Eastern countries is a true traveller. I hated it.

I work for a particularly unusual travel company that specializes in all of the former Soviet countries as well as Russia itself, and a few other places like China, Iran, Mongolia... but out most popular trips are to the Caucasus region, starting in Baku and ending in Yerevan (with Georgia in the middle), and also Central Asia trips to "the 5 'Stans" as well call it, but of course officially there are 7. Anyway, my only point is that I send people to Yerevan all the time. I am in charge of the air operations for the company, on other words, getting our clients to these destinations.

I suppose I work at this job because my greatest passion in life, besides family and friends, is travel. There is nothing quite like experiencing a foreign culture directly through conversation and understanding, even if there is a 100% language barrier. Being able to share a laugh with someone, being invited into someone's home, seeing the hardships and pleasures that make up their daily life -- there is no better way for us humans to begin to understand each other and get along with each other than by directly experiencing other parts of the world and how people live, why and how they do the things that they do. Unfortunately, this is usually an expensive endeavor, but in my opinion it is worth every penny.

My father worked for a major shoe company in the early days. We lived wherever shoes were being made at the time. I was conceived in Taiwan, but by the time I was born, shoes were already being made in Seoul. My family returned to the States for a while, because believe it or not for a few years there athletic shoes were being made in the USA, then we were off to Korea again, and I traveled through Japan as a small child and we lived in Taiwan again for 6 months or so. Then we returned to the States again, where I mostly attended elementary school, then my father mutinied and changed companies, essentially doing what his boss would have considered treason at the time. We moved to the land of Adi (Adolf) Dassler, better known for his shoe company Adidas. I attended Munich International School and absolutely loved living there and being friends with people from 90+ countries. It was a very fulfilling and educational time in my life. I forgot a period where we also lived in the Netherlands for a year, and Italy for a few months. Anyway by the time I was 12 or 13 we had moved back to the States, then a couple years later my father changed jobs again and began working for the company founded by Adi Dassler's brother -- Puma. I stopped caring about when or where my father was working about this time, because he seemed to make a habit of changing companies faster than a baby changes its nappies. All this back and forth to the USA was to Portland, Oregon, with the exception of New Hampshire before the Netherlands. Finally we ended up in Seattle where I attended High School.

I went to the University of Oregon and wanted to study anthropology, but was too distracted by my new best friend -- the woman I live with to this day. We just had our first baby in December. We have been together since we were 18 years old and now we are 33 (or 32? lol). I was so distracted by her that I never went to class and finally after a year and half they kicked me out. We moved to Portland, I got a job washing dishes for 2 restaurants at the same time and attended community college until I could get my grades up to get into a decent small school in Portland (Lewis & Clark College). There I studied Chinese studies and at one point had a feeble command of Mandarin, going over there to study the language and party with Chinese people. I did far more of the latter. I managed to graduate and have taken every opportunity I've found to go back to China. I've not able to find a particularly well-paying job, but by working in the travel industry I stumble upon opportunities to go to far-away places and do what I love best. My hope now is that I can make enough money to not only support my new family, but also to be able to take them to far-away places and experience the world in ways I have gotten to do, and plenty of new ways as well.

Someday, I would love to go to Armenia and sample the famous wines and cognacs, go to Georgia and eat their reputable bread and delicious food, and of course travel to Sweden and stay at GN's house for 5 or 6 weeks. That's my story for now I guess. Thanks for listening. Let's hear some more. GN -- thank you for sharing. Very fascinating.

Thank you Bill I am done with my story , now I am waiting for others stories
