Come on guys. Show us who you are!

[Debs]

I'm just part of the woodwork, I've been here so long! This should be interesting tho b/c it's stuff we don't usually talk about or stuff that doesn't come up in presentations!

NAME: Deborah Ann Servey

NICK: Debs--a fellow teacher dubbed me that a long time ago and it's stuck, so I use it almost everywhere.

BIRTH DATE AND PLACE: April 30, 1968 at Andover Air Force base near Springfield Massachusetts. A bit of personal trivia, I was very nearly born in Germany!!

PERSONAL STATS--huh-uh, a lady never tells! I do have light brown hair, hazel eyes, fave color usually black b/c it goes with everything...

FAMILY--no siblings, Mom died in 96, Dad still alive and kicking and has had a GF for about 6 years. He comes from a huge family so I have a ton of aunts and uncles and cousins on his side, not quite as many on mom's side.

OCCUPATION: Educator! High school librarian by training and a computer instructor and assistant network admin by default...de fault that I knew how to run a PC when we installed the network back in 97. (it's a pun I always tell people when they ask)

INTERESTS: Travelling, photography, music, soccer, cooking, cats, collecting "stuff" on my interests, surfing the Web.

I've been in and out of the music scene since 85, have done 2 stints doing fanzines for bands. Spent 5 years NOT having a fave band and then in September 2002 discovered rock en espanol with Mana from Mexico and added La Ley (from Chile) in June. Collecting on these 2 groups keeps me very much occupied! I think the best male vocalist in the whole is Beto of La Ley.

I've been to Milan twice for games and the inside look at Milanello and San Siro, thanks to my buddies Angelo and Antore. Would like to go back this Spring if finances allow. Fave players: Maldini, Rui Cosata, Nesta so it's convenient they're all rossonere!

My travels have taken me all over the Eastern US and Canada and out to Seattle. I've been to Europe 5 times--Italy, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Austria...England if you count the short layovers at Gatwick!

My dream was to become a concert photographer and it sort of came true. If anyone knows of prog-rcok group Yes, I've been friends with guitarist Trevor Rabin since 84 (he was with them from 83-93). When he did a solo tour in 89 he told me to shot as many rolls of film as I wanted at the 2 shows I went to. Sort of in return or as a gesture of friendship, I gave him a photo album with all my pictures which to this day he still keeps in his home studio. A year and a half ago his manager, whom we'd met on the solo tour, called to say Trevor was FINALLY putting out a live CD from the tour and he was recommending that the record label use some of my photos for the artwork. 2 of my photos now grace the cover a a CD called Trevor Rabin Live in LA!!! What was happening didn't hit me until I actually got a couple fo the CDs from his manager and saw the finished proiduct.

FAVE FILMS: I always draw a blank....Circle of Friends, Ever After, The Italian Job, the Highlander films (I'm a Christophe LAmbert fan), the LOTR films, Shrek, Ice Age, the Alien movies, Star Trek Generations....

DISLIKES: the music industry in the US telling me who's "talented", reality shows, network TV, Juve, Inter and ManU, the radio stations in my hometown b/c of the crap they play, dealing with snow and ice when I have to drive.

ODDEST LIKE: I love to watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy!!!!

[Haroon]

Full Name: Haroon Malik

Surname: MALIK

Birthdate and place: 10 May 1976, Lahore, Pakistan.

Body measurements: 6ft, Not sure about the weight but it is under control for now

Hair: Black

Eyes: Hazel Brown

Favorite colour: Black

Family: younger brother - watches football but not a fanatical fan of any side as such.

Nationality: Pakistani

Native city: Lahore

Occupation: Student - Studying in ''The University of Warwick'', Coventry - England (MSc in E-Business Management)

Interests:

1. Sports

a) Football (play it as well)
b) Formula 1 (watch it only)
c) Cricket (play it as well)
d) Table tennis (play it but don't watch it)
e) Ice Hockey (watch it only)

First football experience was Mexico '86 but NOT LIVE. Had to go off to bed early in those days so recordings of games the next day. Maradona was the talk of town and the world. Got to know Enzo Schifo, Michel Platini and Gary Lineker.

The real LIVE football experience came in Euro '88. Saw Marco Van Basten the deal was sealed! Followed him to Milan and no turning back since that summer!

Used to support Brasil right till USA '94. Careca was one of the reasons for that. Italia used to be number 2. Baggio's performance in the latter stages of that cup made my heart beat faster and Italy notched Brasil to number 1 AFTER that cup. Italia is numero uno since then with Argentina taking second spot and Germany taking third.

Followed Michael Schumacher since 1993. That flashy Joran with a strange nose cone in those days caught me and the first race I saw was the Monaco Grand Prix if I remember correctly. Schumacher had a decent drive and I really became his fanatical fan when the FIA started to force the issue in 1994 by trying their best to prevent a German win the F-1 World Championship. Ten years on and he is the GREATEST although Ilgenio will disagree with me.


2. Movies

I spent my initial years on the internet day and night researching home theatre and thereby know quite a bit of that stuff as it is also a hobby of mine.

(I've already started going to the gym, but on and off kind of thing... ).

Family: I've got a huge family with lots and lots and lots of cousins, so you guys better not mess out with me!!!

Nationality: French and officially since last year,
also Canadian. However, I don't feel Canadian at all, don't know why despite being really grateful to this truly amazing, great country that is Canada. Every single ounce, fiber of my body is as French as it gets!


Native city: Pau, south west of France, an hour drive from the Atlantic Ocean and 45 minutes drive from the Pyrénées Mountains and the Spanish border, in the heart of the French Pays Basque (Pais Basque). The absolute best part of France!!!

Occupation: Student - Studying in International business in college. Also, working as an investment analyst/advisor as a part time work. No, I am NOT a broker...

Interests:

1. Sports

a) Football (I used to play it a LOT like 5-6 hours a day when in France, but ever since I've been in Canada, I haven't been playing it much due to lack of time and ok, i'll be honest,
lazyness...
b) Formula 1 (watch it only)
c) Tennis. FORCA GUGA!!! HATE THE WILLIAMS Sista...
d) Table tennis
e) Basketball (watch it only when my team, the Raptors are playing!GO RAPTORS GO!!!! )

For me too, first football taste was Mexico 86. The most beautiful game I have ever watched in my life so far, has to be this titanesque 1/4 final clash in Guadalaraja, between France and Brasil. This game had everything that makes football so beautiful. All the most intense, deepest human feelings/emotions that one can think of were condensed within the span of 120+ that this game lasted. From amazment at the incredible
rythm/tempo of the game, to the despair of watching the ref conceed a penalty to Brasil in the 2nd half; this despair was equally matched with an extremely intense joy when Joel Bats stopped incredibly the shot of O Galinho (Zico); to the breathe-taking finale of the match with the ending being as strong as the most intense orgasm one can think of when Luis Fernandez scored the winning goal. Never felt so many intense emotions
in a single game ever. Never. Not even on July 12th, 1998! At the end of the game, I was crying for 2 reasons:1) of joy for France having won the game against the mighty Brasil and 2nd of all, I didnt want this anthem of joy that this game was to end.
This is the kind of game you want to last forever.

At that time, despite all the hype around Maradona and Platini, I
wasn't into any of them. As Haroon nicely put it, "the real deal was sealed during Euro 88 after watching Marco Van Basten". The first and only time of my life so far that I've felt anything like that. That's as close as it gets to "love at first sight" as I've ever felt so far. The greatest of all IMHO.
FORZA MARCO UNICO!!!

Then, naturally became a Milanista not long after that has been one damn proud one ever since and will remain one for as long as I shall live!

The early 90's were marked by an ever increasing love/admiration for Il Divino Codino and la Squadra Azzura and Holland's NT. At that time, I couldn't stand France's NT and hated them with all my guts as they were playing a very boring style. In January 94, when France won in Napoli against Italia, I didn't go to school for a whole week as I couldn't take all the banter of all the people laughing at "my" Italia being defeated at home by France. I was truly, madly, deeply in love with Italia at the time.

This love affair lasted another 2 years until Euro 96 where I just had it and was gutted. Gutted because Sacchi left my fav player Baggio out of the squad and because the Italian NT's coaches were too coward to use the fire power/talent at their disposal and were content to just play a safe approach. As I said, I've had it and was gutted.

Then one summer day in 94, I was in vacation with my buddies near Bordeaux and that day in August, France was playing against the Czech in Bordeaux a friendly game. We went to watch the game. France were losing 2-0 until the middle of the 2nd half until the young promising star of French football,
playing at the time for Bordeaux entered in the match. He was 21-22 at the time and what an impact this "kid" had on the game!Incredible! The first ball he touches, he unleashed an unstoppable rocket with his left foot from 25-30 metres in the top right corner of the Czech keeper!!!We were all in awe not believing whether it was in or out. And just before the final whistle, he scored again, with a header to tie the game 2-2!!!And during that 20 minutes he spent on the field, he was the orchestrator, the leader, the soul of the team. Everyone in France knew he was extremely talented but we were all waiting for a confirmation of it at the highest level. After that 20 minutes
and his 2 goals, it was as clear that this "kid" would go onto achieve great things. And he has fully lived up to that expectation. His name? Zinedine Zidane. My beloved Yazhid!!!!

Needless to say I fell in love (like everyone in France ) with his
style and his play and I was truly delighted that he was a Bordeaux player, a team I used to go watch live several times each season.

And after that I've followed him more and couple that with my
increasing dissapointment/disgust with the style/way of playing of la Squadra Azzura, my love increased for France and decreased for Italia to become totally in love with my beloved Les Bleus!

2. Movies

Usually speaking I'm not much into movies for the simple reason that I barely watch TV due to a lack of time. The only things I watch is football (mainly Milan). But I do enjoy from time to time going to the theatres/cinema watching a good movie with my friends or other cousins.

The God Father series are the absolute must and my all time fav!
I generally like action, mafia movies, comedies.

Fav actors:
Al Pacino, the Greatest of all! then De Niro, then also like
Antonio Bandeiras, Russel Crowe, but my fav actor of all time is the late French comedian, Louis de Funès. He's the most funniest person I've ever seen in my life. Just looking at him alonewould make you roll on the floor like it's incredible!



3. Music

a) Brasilian and Latino music.
b) Hard Rock / Rock
c) Techno
d) Dance

Favorite teams:

Milan for me is not just a team for me, they are my religion, my life, my everything!

a) Bordeaux (my hometown team).
b) Arsenal
c) Toronto Raptors and San Antonio Spurs (NBA)
d) Flamengo in Brasil

1 - Les Bleus
Don't like any other NT's. Enjoy watching teams that play attractive and offensive football such as Holland, Spain, sometimes Brasil, but more in nostalgy of the amazing team of the legendary Tele Santana (the most beautiful team I have ever seen!) than for their current style... I also watch Italia with a great interest despite their lack of offensive/attractive style because I still have a soft spot for them which goes back to my love for them a few years ago...Still keeping hope that one day, Italia will play as they should play...



Favorite players:

Outside of football, I don't really have any player/athlete I admire or anything with the only exceptions being the legenday Ayrton Senna, the incredible Admiral David Robinson, my all time fav NBA player, Mats Wilander and Pete Sampras.

Favorite Football Players:

1. Marco Van Basten
2. Zinedine Zidane
3. Franco Baresi
4. Paolo Maldini
5. Roberto Baggio
6. Gianni Rivera


Current crop of players:

If we don't include any of the above, then Titi Henry would top the list followed very closely by Sheva, Sandro Magno, Ringho, Pirlo, Totti, Pires, Thuram, Barthez (in fact the whole Milan and France teams )

Authors That Capture My Imagination: Herman Hesse for his human profound darkness; Milan Kundera for his tragically amusing love, political descriptions; postcolonial writers such as Hanif Kureishi, Jhumpa Lahiri, Salman Rushdie, Anita Desai, Ngugi Thio'go who provide voices for the subaltern fictional characters; classics like Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Joseph Conrad, et. al. for reminding me that I started reading because of them; the late Edward Said, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Gayatari Spivak for giving me the critical lense to look at "knowledge" (something that has always intrigued me)...
