Getting To Know CB, Meet Your Peers Options

[fameONE]

For the most part, most of us are nothing more than screennames and links to networking and blogging mediums.

Lets take the opportunity to get to know each other. Feel free to ask someone (in here) a few questions about them; something that has always interested you about the person. Try to maintain proper decorum, but make an effort to reach out to someone instead of wondering what someone is really like.

I'm an open book. So I guess yous can all start by asking me something.

This should be fun...

OH, we did this in the cBchat awhile ago when no one was talking.
Hi, my name is Sally Chou, and I am not a fob. I am, however, full on asian (chinese, mandarin) and yes, I do speak the language. I'm 15, a lot younger than a lot of you. California, Bay Area, Milpitas. Interests include sports (tennis, swimming, sometimes basketball but I haven't played for the team ever since I reached high school), and overall, I'm a pretty laid back person. I don't really let anything get to me too hard. Currently a sophomore, I'm already planning for college. Top choice as UCLA, but I know I won't get in, so I'm settling for UCDavis (if I can get into that too). I plan on doing something in the study of Biology (yeah, I know I'm asian). I am very consistent with my schoolwork as many of you know me from cBchat -.- Um, actually, I'm not as smart as you think. Really.

Kay, any questions?

Oh, and my favoritestestest people are Julia, ebff (blue team), and red team, because they're just that awesome.

Question for Brandon: What sparked your interest in motorcycles?
Question for Sally: Why are you in denial, fobface?

Well, here I go. My name is Radhika Raman, I'm 13 years old, and I'm Indian. (From India. Not Native American.) I live in Sugar Land, Texas (yes, it's an actual city) and I'm addicted to createBlog. I love reading and books, and people think that I'm older than I really am. I'm an atheist with Hindu parents, (always fun) so don't you dare proselytize at me. Wanna get to know me more?

[EddieV]

Name's Eddie V. I'm Thai, Chinese and Puerto Rican, although I can only speak Thai. My girlfriend is a beautiful Brazilian/Ecuadorian girl. I'm 18 years of age and I go to City University of New York's College of Staten Island. I currently reside in Jersey City, NJ. My hobbies are, music, martial arts, wrestling, and professional gaming. Aside from that I also have other hobbies such as toy collecting, Star Wars, modeling, and taking pictures of my self. I can be a very arrogant person, and at many times cocky, although on the up-side, I am a very caring person, and a nice person to everyone. Not one of those guys that are just nice to the people they like.

Any questions?

Question: Anyone else have Ne-Yo's "So Sick" stuck in their head? I know I do. x]

Radhika...
I grew up in Delaware, so as a kid I witnessed the uprising of black motorcycle clubs like the Ruff Ryders, Legion of Doom, etc. When I was about 12, my oldest cousin copped one and I made it a point to learn as much as possible about them. Now that I'm wise to makes, models, aftermarket parts, repair and, most notably, the stuntin' game, its pretty much consumed me. Passion. Truth.

Steven...

[yo pusha]

Steven...

my boy just copped the craziest bapes i ever seen

[fameONE]

I got mine from VintageKicks.com and dropped 3 bills.

Ay yo, why is your style so East Coast?

[innovation]

Hmm..

Hello, people. I'm a 16-year-old junior from the Washington DC Metro area. I attend a large, public International Baccalaureate school, and I'm pretty satisfied with it, although I can't wait to get to college. I'm generally pretty introverted and serious about virtually everything, although I'm usually pretty talkative. I'm an optimistic person with cynical tendencies. I'm addicted to rather random foods, such as craisins and easy mac and breathsaver mints. I like talking to interesting people; it makes me happy. I learn best through communication and exchanging ideas. I like math; I hate math class. Global affairs, politics, and good literature interest me because they are very much analyze-able. I rarely watch television anymore; I'm addicted to the Internet. :]

Question for Eddie: From where does your interest in entrepreneurship originate?
Question for "yo pusha" and Brandon: Explain the shoe obsession, please. I never quite understood it.

[EddieV]

Answer to Mindy's question: I like service and working with people, and from what I see I can get along with any type of person. So I would like to work in the business industry, mainly sales, although my ideas have changed throughout these months, now I am currently persuing a career in Hotel Management, which comes from my service mind.

[steezahh]

mmm, for anyone who`s ever wondered about me...
Paulina, young`un, mainly cuban&mexican [& other things], heart shoes, brand names.
I could never leave the house without having my cellphone& 50cents. just incase i gotta take the metro.

hey steven, how many pairs of shoes you own? cause you always be throwing up different ones.

[fameONE]

Mindy...
You're seemingly intimidating inteligent presence is really attractive, just don't become too introverted and analytical.

As for my obsession with kicks, and looking nice in general...
I was always brought up to keep myself looking as nice as possible. No matter where I'm going, or how I'm dressed (casual or formal), I need to look as clean as possible. As a young Black man, I'm not taken as seriously as I should be. By taking pride in my appearance and being presentable at all times, it will give me further advantage in the world. No, clothes do not make the man; but they can break him.

And, I think Bapes are just a next level of ill.

Hi I'm Linda Belle. I like a lot of things... I like trees. I'm a vegetarian.
You can ask me a question if you like.

Eddie: I've always wondered, what does ecaboose mean?

[steezahh]

hey brandon, you sound like kanye west now.. haha who said "as for us young black men, we need to start getting clean cut & tailoried clothes"..



oh!! usher.. haha... gosh you remind me of him.

[innovation]

I'm introverted in the fact that I need time alone to recharge and collect my thoughts. Please don't associate introvertedness with being shy or reserved, if that's what you're referring to.

And I will always be hyper-analytical. :]

Hello. I'm Eva. I'm 13, so I'm still young, and got a long way to go. I'm currently residing in SGP, Texas. I'm full Taiwanese, but my parents were born and raised in Vietnam. I love my computer.
Questions?

perplexism What's your name?

[*not_your_average*]

linda belle: i'm a vegetarian as well! :DDD sweet!

Question for "yo pusha" and Brandon: Explain the shoe obsession, please. I never quite understood it.

Hi, I'm Steven!

Shoe collecting is more than an obsession, with shows like "It's The Shoes" on ESPN, the sneaker culture is getting more mainstream now. Before the last five years, sneaker collecting was all about buying what you liked, and sneaker prices weren't that high. Nowadays, It's all about "hype". The newest Jordan, the newest Dunk SB, etc. It's the same reason people collect Star Wars action figures, rare books, etc

Every sneaker has a story. I had to camp out for 17 hours only to get charged ridiculous prices for Tifanny Dunks. I spent hours refreshing eastbay in order to buy Flint XIIIs for retail.

It's not even about getting the new jordans to impress females, it's about camping two days overnight at Niketown to get these beautiful sneakers that cost 30 dollars to make in a sweatshop in Vietnam but are selling for 150 dollars.
