I've had a quite interesting life, actually. Even my name was coincidentally given. Anyway, I'll only mention one interesting thing about my life.
My dad was born in 1954 or so (not certain). And his exact date of birth is even less certain. As in rural places of Turkey then, sometimes the official stuff were being neglected. So, they (dunno who) made a wild guess after many years and decided to write 7th March 1954 (not sure about the year, have to ask) for his birthday. And guess what happened. I was born on 7th March 1981. Pure coincidence. (Though coincidence is a complex issue for me.) Also our surname was ment to be Durakoğlu, but mistakenly written as Durakoğulları. Oğul (oğlu) means "son" in Turkish, oğullar (oğulları) is its plural. So, Iron Maiden's "7th Son of the 7th Son" tells my story! ![]() Anyone cares to tell some interesting things about his/her life? |

The first girl I kissed in my life later became my sister.

I once drove the equivalent of more than 22 times around the Earth (550,000 miles) in the space of 11 years, which didn't leave me much time for listening to prog.

Sixty-one years on Earth and not going bald.

My hair couldn't endure after my 20s. It is actually "interesting" as I'm the only "bald" person among the people that I have a blood-relationship with. I'm also about 1.83 m tall, and one of the tallest people among my relatives. (We are quite crowded, BTW.) We are generally short. Only a cousin of mine is 1.89, and that is because her mother's blood-related relatives are giants. Edited by Shadowyzard - June 27 2021 at 00:15 |

Talking and discussing with you all in PA. No opportunity to do so if I don't join here. How amazing.

My daughter's date of birth and mine are made up by the same digits.

Jean and I are High Priestesses of Gaia, the ancient Greek Goddess of the Earth, and were pregnant at the same time due to artificial insemination. We even gave birth at the same time and held hands during this.

Well, there is this... ![]() And, back in Apr. 2002 I chased down and caught a guy half my age and much bigger than me after he committed armed robbery (knife) with a disguise (balaclava) at a local variety store here in town. I, along with two other neighbours, received awards from the OPP (Ontario Provincial police) for our efforts.

^ JD, Skulls and bones were my "toys" in my childhood, till the end of my adolescence. My necromancy goes back to ancient times.
![]() Here's some stuff that I've taken from my Facebook. ![]() Here is the exterior of St. Nikolaos Church in my hometown. It is just near my grandparents' house in Gullubahce/Aydın/Turkey. Lots of childhood memories there. The municipality authority gave permission to my grandfather to use the area for feeding his goats, and also to grow and pick the fruits of the fragrant and delicious citrus trees. We lost my grandparents, yet the remembrances are still alive. Below is the "osteafilak" where many Greeks were buried (or thrown into). Extremely deep. The image cannot show it. Lots of metres deep. Perhaps 10s of metres, at least 10 metres as I can guess. To measure that, one has to see the structure from the opposite side. And literally filled with corpses and some of their belongings. No skull and bone photos that I've kept, I guess. R.I.P. people, sorry for having fun with your skeletons. We were young and naive... ![]() ![]() And here is the church itself: ![]() Lastly congrats for your bravery, dude! Edited by Shadowyzard - June 27 2021 at 11:21 |

The most interesting thing about my life is that I never wanted it to be exciting or interesting. But it was, anyway.

This song was on the Dr. Demento show in the 80's. I'm on keyboard. The cool thing about this is... Dr. Demento sent us, through mail, his entire show that evening on 4 LP's. Weird Al had the most requested song of the evening. "Christmas at Ground Zero".
Otherwise, happy with family and routine. Uninteresting but content. Edited by Grumpyprogfan - June 27 2021 at 17:11 |

I started to go bald at the age of 21 or so. Unlike 99.9 percent of the population I refuse to view it as some kind of shortcoming or deficit though. It's just genetics and something I have little to no control over so why think of it as some kind of bad thing. Society seems to want everyone to be perfect just so they can profit off of their insecurities(ie hairclub for men). Anyway, my brother has a full head of hair and so does my dad. Baldness is carried over from your mother's side though which makes sense since her brothers and father were all bald or balding. My mother doesn't even have one grey hair(ok maybe one)and she's well into her seventies.

Then again, if you're 61 years old and baldly going where many men have gone before, you can always wear a hat. ![]() ![]() |
