Go! Tell about yourself
April 7th, 2008 by Simple ZackZack here,
I’ve gotten to know a few of you here at Flowers fairly well, but I think more can be told. Here’s a little more about me:
I love to play sports (any sport really), especially golf and soccer, but I never watch professional sports. In fact, I never watch television. I’m finishing sophomore year at a university and really like tea. I play guitar, piano, and the ukulele.
I felt like putting this picture here, because Steve Urkel was great. I also love hiking, camping, and volunteering.
So, now that I rambled on about myself, tell me about you and your flower smelling characteristics!
Hi Zack - a great idea this post,
B4 we start are you sure thats not a picture of a young Bill Cosby?
Are you serious?? I don’t think it is. LOL
Certainly not. But I can see how you’d notice a resemblance. That’s the sort of pose Cosby would strike for a photo.

LOL Zack, Jim here and I guess you know a reasonable amount about Em and I but here’s a bit more:
Em used to be a school teacher, the worked for the British Embassy in Dubai, then sold exhibition space for a conference company - when I saw her I bought some exhibition space and the rest is history!
Em is from Devon is the UK - I’m from the North West.
Coffee sends me off the radar and mega-hyper - I’m banned from drinking it!
I’m a qualified Civil Engineer, diver, soccer coach and life coach.
Em has just passed her life coaching exams and got the results last night - she called me from Barcelona on her leadership retreat and rather than celebrate the group have been instructed to go into TOTAL SILENCE FOR 24 HOURS - thats gotta hurt!
Are you serious? How are they going to benefit from that?
I think that an hours silencs is a great Spanish tradition and it is actually celebrated in Tenerife on Monday 21st April.
its an old technique called
‘the course tutors have run out of happy clappy stuff to do so are just listening to their i-pods all day instead’
its retro-active bi-cerebral stimulation …….. erm or something
I did 24 hours of silence once. It’s definitely challenging
Hello Zack….nice to meet you and welcome aboard! Sorry I didn’t have more time to get to know you……but I’m looking forward to you smelling the flowers with the rest of us…..
So do YOU look like Erkel as well????? lol
mighty morgan’s last blog post..Sooner then Later?
No, I don’t look like Erkel, but he is pretty snazzy, which is one thing we have in common.
WE nicknamed Harry High pants…. hehhehhehhehehe
aussiecynic’s last blog post..Dont Panic! its all good!
HH pants - must bring out the high pitched voice in him!
hahaha
Hi Zack - great post - apart from the obvious “soccer” error - you mean football right! LOL
Mike’s last blog post..Mike Interviews: Julian Barnes Part 2 of 3
of course!!!!!!!!!!!!! Futbol Americano es estupidio.
I totally meant football.
Nice site! Just found you. Wonderful. I too am a NO TV person, almost all my life…by choice. I play piano, Native American courting flute, some guitar and touch of harmonica…dream or hear music in my head - can’t read it. I love nature photography…getting into it now. My biggest love is nature. I’ve lived a lot of my adult life in the wild and even grew up in rural Maine. My best times are spent outdoors, hiking canoeing, camping, swimming, whatever. I also like doing pottery or working with melted glass. I better stop here before I write an essay as I am also a writer. Thanks. : )
We’ve got a lot in common Robin. I also like to write, hike, camp, and play music without knowing how to read notes.
Zack - I also like nature, walks in parks and I play the African Drum. When I say “play” I mean I bash it a few times
arvind’s last blog post..7 Tips to Stop Losing an Hour of your time EVERY Day
Dude, African Drum. I think I’ll give that a try whenever an African Drum is around
We’re into drumming circles here in Dubai - anyone with a heart BEAT has a beat!
‘drumming circles’.
ace stuff.

I think I hit one when I decided to go into a business with my neighbour!!

Welcome to the garden RR - Plenty of room for some trees!
Cool Post Zack
Yep another hippy here… camping, bushwalking etc, not a big water person, infact avoided with a passion here although I do like boating….
I am a Greeny… not in the activist tied to a tree sence but I do my bit try and stop development for the sake of it… everything in its place. We are into Renewable resources and Natural living, chemical free as far as is possible…
Animals I have a few… Live at worlds end yep one hour south by plane and you hit antarctica, painter, parent, aussie, nutter, fun, friendly yep thats me….
aussiecynic’s last blog post..Dont Panic! its all good!
Sounds like an awesome, down-under, green girl to me. To tell you the truth, I do my part to keep green as well. It’s very easy to do at college, since I have no car and rarely ever need the lights on….. Natural living is the way to go.
Everything is there that we need…. I guess the human race would not have survived for 300,000+ if it didnt…
Our carbon foot print is 3.6 tonnes a year.. including everything.. so not too shabby for 3 of us….
And thanks I hope I dont dissapoint…

If you listen to Bridget I’m a romantic, if you listen to Fish I’m a big headed exploiter of the weak and obsessed with myself to the point of living in a mirrored box.
What I actaully am is a Chartered Mechnical Engineer by trade but I am one of the directors of a large automotive supply firm making interior products - seats, Instrument panels, consoles, door liners, headliners and some electronic items like clusters.
I’ve been to about 37 countries, lived in5 of them and currently i’m in the North East of China in a city called Changchun and have been for the past 4 years.
I swim and row regularly to keep fit as there is no Rugby played here, if there was then I’d be playing every chance I got. I get married in 18 days. I have been known to have the odd drink and herbal cigarette, I don’t suffer fools easily but I’m getting better.

Oh! And he’s off!
Yeah yeah, Bridget this, Fish that, then he goes on to vindicate my perspective:
Just how many times do you plan on telling us you are a director of a large firm, big guy?
Total self obsession.
Unlike you, complete self satisfaction. Glad your obsession with me hasn’t waned.
If you want to stalk me and complete the whole obsessive disorder I’m 800km North East of Beijing. Taxis are cheap here so you can easily support yourself stalking for some time.

Hi I have three children, a husband, a dog and a duck!! I live very close to Aussie (and still don’t get time to visit - Sorry AC) I love walking (when I have time), I like camping and have not long started a new business. Between myself and my neighbour we own some accommodation in Tasmania ( that is why I haven’t bee around for a while - the other half has gone away and I am busy very busy) I like to drink hot chocolate or tea at AC’s house, and I love my white wine! Phew have I missed anything???
A duck - you serious?
For business, pleasure, petting or all of them mixed up.
What was the BILL?
yes the duck….. kellie…
quack quake… and hids in the shed.. ..
is very cute….. truth is beautiful.. and good company with the dog…
lol
aussiecynic’s last blog post..Martin Luther King Jnr
I think the kids and the dog would kill me if I cooked it!!! As AC stated the duck as we discovered only a little while ago is actually a girl - (yep not a boy as we first thought) has grown quite attached to the dog and hates the fact that my beloved pooch won’t share her food!!!
She also sits at the gate and waits for us to arrive home - it is quite a sight one dog waiting and very close behind her is the duck!!!
So if I was to cook her I would be shot!!!!
LOL
What a madhouse it must be…
Quackers!
Not as mad as AC though close but not quite!!! Sorry AC love ya!!
ITs ok… I love the madness its what keeps me sane…
Hubby would dearly love another Postcard if you remember..
Why arent you in Melbourne?????
aussiecynic’s last blog post..This is just Weird!
Well, as I’ve already started posting comments on later topics I guess I should give up some of my secrets..
I’m 42, married (again) to a wonderful woman, 2 step-children.
I live just south-west of London UK and work at Heathrow Airport terminal 5.
Oh yeah, 2 cats (one is a rescue) and a puppy.
Oh yeah, I was born and raised in Scotland, living in England and my wife and kids are American., so we are a right old mixed bag.
Look fwd to “meeting” you all soon.

Hi Phil & welcome to GO! Smell the flowers….
so South West of London - Isleworth way?
Well, I’ve been camping and enjoyed it on ocassion. However, I really prefer to spent time in the luxury state park lodge down the road.
I am a writer just recently graduated last April. I like animals, love dogs especially, but can bond with just about anything including the live clams my parent once brought home to make for dinner.
I also like gardening and dream of owning a home one day with a nice big back yard for my garden.
Despite my love of gardens I’m not a big fan of veggies, but do love mexican food and am always up for a quick trip to Taco Bell.
