        OT - What do you do for a living?

        So since I am new and enjoy the vast knowledge I get off these forums I thought I would get to know some of you more as I go down that enjoyable road being an M5 owner. I see we have so many people from all over the world and it would be cool to know what everyone does, profession wise.

        I'll start off.

        29 Years Old

        I'm a Director of Online Marketing for a online company. (About 2 Years Now)
        Own a Sports Bar here in Houston (6 Years)
        Computer consulting work (Since I was in College)

        I'm a graphic designer in Long Island, New York. Started this job not 3 months ago. Worked as a designer/production artist for about 10 months at a sign shop, but I got bored, started to dislike my boss, and it was a dead end job anyways.

        Have way too many plans, but I'm being careful not to get burned out. I'm still young, time is on my side....for now.


        So you have a sports bar? What's it called? I'd love to have a rock n' roll / heavy metal bar one day

        ...bloated out of shape middle age dad slaving away for imbasiles in decent paying boring static job stealing cheap thrills on the way to work and back in my old M.

        ...so whats the lesson here? ...pop the quim, drive hard, work hard, travel the planet, get the t and the tatoo, and over time, eventually/tragically, you'll find yourself understanding my universe...
