i've also learned thanks to church life that work can never fully satisfy the deeper longings i have for meaning and purpose in this life anyway.

I'm a 25 year old highschool dropout who's too broke to go to college. If I'm not making chiptunes, I'm either working at a region-specific pizza restaurant that most of you probably wouldn't enjoy, fixing cars for money, fixing electronics, doing odd jobs, or hanging out with my woman. I'm told I'm good at saving money, which is good because I don't make shit. I don't really play video games anymore except when writing music and I'm in the process of not drinking everyday. I come from a large family and may or may not be alergic to gluten. I am extremely ambitious and usually purposely overwhelm myself to achieve results I typically could never achieve. I build custom bicycles and don't eat chicken's eggs because they're disgusting. That's pretty much it.
This is what I do:

I'm the one in the black hat.
This looks like a ridiculous amount of fun.
a life well spent, to me, is to simply have the privilege of crossing paths with interesting and passionate people that are wellsprings of talent and creativity.
Right on man.

Hello everyone. For my 1st post here, I'll join in on this one...
I'm over 30 now o.O , & am currently a diesel truck mechanic. I hate doing that dirty work though. I'm working on starting my own business refurbishing & selling smartphones online so that I can support myself & not have to work my life away for some company. I got myself into immense debt many years ago, mostly from cars & car stuff, & now I never have time in my life for anything. I'm working very hard to change that. I'm on my way to paying off all my debts so that I may have a 2nd chance at life. Being over your head in debt is like modern day slavery. You can't live a life, or do anything.
Aside from all that, I'm an aspiring artist/musician, & a big nerd. I love anime & video games, & especially music from video games. I love the fact that people are making music now with the video game systems we grew up with. : ) Art & music is what I love the most. Once I free my life, I definitely want to put more time & effort into music. Even though I hardly have any time in my life for anything right now, I'm still trying to get myself into all of this anyway. I just got LSDJ up & running, & I'm practicing & learning it every day on the subway trains. Being on the trains is the only time that I actually have time for it. I'm slowly learning it, & I love it so much. I have no experience in making music whatsoever, but I'm gonna try my best with this. I love it so much. Well, enough rambling. I have to try & get my 2 1/2 hours of sleep now. o.O
That's all for now. And hello to everyone!!! Glad to be here. : )
Wazzup dogs!
I'm 22 years old and live in a city called Umeå in the northern parts of Sweden.
I'm a medical student, but this semster I got sick of studying all the time so I decided to take a break from school. I spend my days mostly on making chiptunes, practicing yoga and reading books (I'm currently totally sucked up by George R.R. Martin's "A song of ice and fire" series). I work with taking care of old people atm, boring as hell but it pays the rent and the food.
This autumn I'm planning on going to India and practice yoga!
i am a day laborer for a general contractor. it's been slow lately, which sucks, but seems to have picked up this week. i also have a kid and wife, so have somewhat of a "family life". i got into beer trading early this year and have been enjoying a beer a day (sometimes more) from every region of this country. oh, and i make my own beer - and have a pretty solid plan ready to start a brewery with a friend of mine.

I have a MA in Urban Planning and I just finished my PhD in social science and philosophy. I work at the municipality where Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is located (because it is not located in Amsterdam) and deal with spatial-economic and environmental effects of the airport. I deal with noise hindrance a lot and get to talk to inhabitants, other governmental actors, airlines and the airport a lot. I love my job. I have a lot of spare time as a civil servant and the salary is not something to complain about. I love to travel and spare time + money gives me opportunities to see as much of the world as I can.
I used to play bass guitar in a hardcore band, but when it comes to electronic music, I don't know jack shit. All my knowledge comes from the mighty internet.

Is your user name perhaps in reference to Andrew Loomis, the author of "Figure drawing for all its worth"?

Bart, actually I didn't remember how old I was. Maybe you are older than me after all 
First post. Leggo.
I'm 16 and live in Washington, about an hour east of Seattle. I go to school, that takes up a lot of time. I'm trying to get an apprenticeship landed under a locksmith I know, I like keys for some reason. I live with my mum, I skate a lot when it's not raining. I play guitar, but I'm not in a band. The blues, of all genres. It's like the opposite of chipmusic. But I still dig both of them. I shop at goodwill a lot, I'm really bad at talking, I wear the tightest pants I can find. I've kinda gotten into film photography, I'm a weird kid. But this kind of music is full of weird kids, so I feel right at home. 
I'm still getting over a really bad recent breakup, I need to move on. I like fixing things and understanding how things work. An occasional bowl is nice, but not too often, I'm busy. I'm not a big gamer, but I do play games sometimes. Usually on my brother's Sega genesis or Nintendo 64. The day that someone refers to my long messy hair as a 'mane', my life will be complete. I listen to music whenever I'm not making it, from Henry Homesweet to Skrillex to Band of Skulls to Son House, and everything in between. I like acting cool,even when I know I'm not. Stuff like that.

People who consider themselves weird are usually not especially weird at all.
