So far I'm the oldest one, 39,.. 40 in September...
Rusian-Jewish-Ukrainian-Turkish-Polish background allows me not to have any background at all.
Born in Kiev, Ukraine. Live in NYC for the last 14 yrs. Work in a fat real estate company. Also have a little e-bay oriented business - selling antique silverware.
Somehow I managed to get 3 degrees (metal processing, journalism, business mgnt) and not to succeed in any of them
Have a beautiful wife ( got married 3 + yrs ago) and a nasty getto-talking but very sweet deep inside 15 yrs old step-daughter. There are might be some other children, who I'm not aware of. That's why I always carry candies in my pocket - you never know, right?
I've been always into some sports - swimming, fencing, boxing, soccer. I like to follow hockey very much though not a real player myself.
In 1986-88 I was in russian army and might have killed some innocent people in Afghanistan, for this I will always be sorry. I just hope it didn't happened.
I like to read very much.
Anthrax(pref. with John+Rob), Zeppelin, Sabbath(any), Purple, Queen, Floyd, L. Cohen, Zappa, Sepultura,Type O, Biohazard... I have no idea why there are Queen and Biohazard neighboring in my subconciosness, but they're doing very well in there.
I've become a member of this forum just last year though I've been reading threads in here since '02 (mostly for updates). Even if sometimes we have certain disagreements here, still we're all friends...
