Who Am I?

By popular request : (Updated on 29/03/2005) I was born of French parents in the south of France on the 11th of May, 1974. My parents lived in Algeria at the time, but Mom wanted to give birth to me, her first-born, in her native city. We stayed in Algiers for two years before moving back to Paris in 1976, and my kid brother Greg was born one year later in that city. We moved to the US in 1983, in the Greater Boston area, Concord, MA, to be precise. Both my brother and I picked the yankee twang in a few months, and I also picked up some extra pounds I've never managed to lose. We never requested US nationality. We moved back to Paris in 1986, and went to bilingual schools to keep up the lingo. Learned to pronounce 'R' as a consonant, not a vowel. In 1997 I married a French woman eight years my senior, Pauline. She had a daughter called Chloé, 11 at the time, which I claimed as my daughter. Best thing I ever did. The marriage did not work out, and we got a divorce in 2001, but I'm still Chloé's dad, happily. In late 2003, I was on the verge of moving to NYC on a $200,000/year job, and decided to look for friends on Yahoo Personals NYC. I met my Princess there, fell in love, and promptly failed to get the job, as the start-up tanked. Princess and I have been in a long-distance relationship since then, and in 2004 I made Gold Elite status three times over on air miles. I'm currently trying to secure a US job with my current employer (sadly, nowhere NEAR $200,000/year). We're in the Work Visa stage, and it just seems to take forever. It also prevents me from leaving Europe while it is on-going. Meaning I haven't seen my Princess since October. Hence the angry posts about the Visa thing now and then. Well, that job tanked as well, so we're back to the remote loving for a while. Working on plan B, another start-up. More on that in the next few days and weeks. Well, that's it, I guess, at least for now. I'll permalink this in the sidebar for the newcomers. Y'all have a good one, ya hear? UPDATE : here is what I sound like, in both English and French. UPDATE : here is my bible. Location : erehwon
