owner of a telecom export company and Managing Director of another company that handles foreign military contracts.

Occasional database analyst, although I am trying to avoid doing that much more.  Too time consuming, doesn't pay enough. :-)

Oh, yeah.  Part-time blogger.  That doesn't pay at all, but I love doing it.

As a geography grad from UK in 97, I find the spatial distribution of UK fans interesting. I work for a planning agency in Hickory, NC. There seem to be quite a few UK fans in the Carolinas.

I already posted this in your thread but will do so again for the benifit of the diary.

I am a 24 year old Financial Services Officer at a credit union in Lexington KY. I graduated from UK in 05 with a degree in Education and decided being a Teacher was not the life for me so I kind of fell into banking.

I am really interested in the Division of Fire/Emergency Services here in lex though and am in the process of obtaining my EMT lisence and attempting to join the LFUCGFD.  

UK grad ('96), 33, I run the editorial side of Major League Soccer's website, MLSnet.com, out of Manhattan, NYC.

I used to work for the editorial team at Major League Baseball, but moved to a different wing of the company for better hours, as I have an 8-month-old son, Elias Rex.

But I consider Lexington my hometown, as I went to 5th-12th grades there, as well as University.

I wear many hats.  I have been entrepreneurial my entire life so I do many things.  I've owned several tech companies (since sold) and ran a web design/marketing firm at one time (also sold).  I flew professionally for a few years (corporate aviation, not airlines) and still dabble in that on the side.  I'm also a flight instructor, not active at the moment, but I teach in both airplanes and helicopters.

My investments lean toward real estate which naturally means I'm getting hammered right now.  I consult more or less full time for a company that's in the process of starting a nationwide franchise and I'm also getting a Western North Carolina log home distributorship off the ground with some of my friends formerly in the banking world.

The blogging thing is a sickness.  I make more money blogging than about 99% of the rest of the sports blogging population, which is to say I make slightly more than zero.  I blog for AOL's FanHouse and of course for my own site.  The money's good for occasional (inexpensive) lunches and once in awhile I treat myself to an ice cream cone.  Life is good!

I live in Orlando, FL and it's maybe a 1.5 hour drive to watch my Gators beat the 'Cats in the O-Dome, er, play basketball and football.

Seeing this question reminded of this:

"Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did WAS wrong, but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...

    Andrew Clark: ...and an athlete...
    Allison Reynolds: ...and a basket case...
    Claire Standish: ...a princess...
    John Bender: ...and a criminal...
    Brian Johnson: Does that answer your question?... Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club."

27 years old and work as a rebate analyst for a large financial firm. that mostly means that half my day i get to spend here.

i was born in a very small town in eastern ky, where my grandparents still live. trips have become less frequent as i've gotten older, but i was just there a couple weeks ago to watch the cats play those damn gators.

....of my life are quite inconsequential...very well, where do I begin?  My father  was a self improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery." :)  

On a serious note...I'm 33, a warehouse supervisor were I am in charge of tracking and keeping an inventory of Chinese imports for the company I work for.  Absolutely nothing exciting or glamorous about it but it is a J-O-B.

I currently reside in central Ohio (land of teams unable to come thru in the clutch.)  Other than following UK basketball my true highlights in life are my wife and three children, the oldest of which is starting her first year of organized b-ball (she's only 10 but I'm expecting the calls from coach Mitchell to start anyday now!)

Briefly attended the Ohio State University... lived in Austin, TX for about a year....awesome,awesome city, I highly recommend a visit.  I also lived in El Paso for about three years (pre BCG.)

All in all I would say I am pretty low-key but watching UK on tv does tend to bring out both the best and worst of me.

25, law student at SIU.

Born and raised in Madisonville, KY.  Went to Transylvania, now I'm stuck in Illinois for another year.

Graduating a semester early in December.  Can't wait to get back to the great state.

23, banker, Raleigh, NC.

I was born in NC, but all of my family is from the Cincy, Kentucky area so I have been a UK fan my whole life.

Living in the capitol of NC it's hard to hear about anything but ACC news so this place is a breathe of fresh air.

Your name's not Richard is it?

I dont know you I just thought you were making a "Tricky Dick" reference and wanted to be sure.  

Tricky Dick was a nickname that just came easily considering my name and sometimes "mischievous" behavior.

I have some family in Kentucky, so I wasn't sure if I had stumbled upon one of them.

is a reference to Richard Nixon originally.

I'm 31. I attended UK from 1995-2000, where I graduated with a Bachelor's in Computer Science. In actuality I had great experience with Mario Kart 64 and building Legos until 3AM. I ended up getting a job in Lexington. At first I was doing IT Helpdesk support, then I took another position in the same company as a web application designer, which was turned into a web server administrator. I have two boys, Ethan is 4 and Will is 2 1/2. Currently they like Star Wars more than UK Basketball.

41 and been a Cat fan since about 1971,when my Dad introduced me to UK Basketball.My wife and I along with our 4 year old boy live a few miles from Lexington.I`m a warehouse manager for a local distributor.Work usually doesn`t interfere with games...except maybe some tourney games and then I just take a TV to work...

work at a tv station (KATV-"Your home for Razorback coverage!!!") in Little Rock as a technical director. That means I get scripts from a producer and assemble the show live to thousands (market 57 so not millions) of folks.

I am a military brat. My father was born and raised near the Shawnee part of Louisville (he even ran in the park at the same time as Cassius Clay a few times)which explains my ties to UK. He is a Louisville (Pitino) fan.

My mom was born in Massachusetts, I was born in England and my sister was born in Texas.

I am 35, have two girls 12 and 6. The oldest has been playing ball for three years now. The youngest just started.

Arkansas is a nice place. It helps to "know" people because this place is expanding at a phenomenal rate. Much of the country has been hit hard in real estate but here it has been rather steady and has continued to grow.

I like working in tv because it gives me time to visit ASoB, meet interesting people and develop material for the movie I am going to write. Some of the stuff that happens here you can't make up. An example? How about a blind studio cameraman? How is he supposed to check his focus? I am still waiting on the deaf audio person!!!!

So that's my semi story. I am stickin to it.

By the way, my username is a reference to the fact that i have two prosthetic legs. I was born that way (not with the prothetic legs) so feel free to make cracks and fire questions. I am not a PC kinda guy so I felt it necessary to mention this so you don't think I was bashing blind and deaf folks and their abilities a moment ago. :) I am going to go whistle in the dark now.

31 year old investment banker in New York, raised in Lexington ('93 gradutate of Dunbar).

I wear boots wherever I can because 1) it reminds me of home, and 2) it annoys the hell out of my New York-born fiancee.

Go Cats!

I posted in the open discussion thread, but I'll throw this out there again for the sake of easy reference.

I'm 29, born and raised in the rural part of Hardin County... but its just easier to say Elizabethtown.  I'm a chiropractor (hence the username) who graduated undergrad in 2000 from Murray State with a degree in Chemistry and Organizational Communication (had to balance the chem grades with something easy!) and then graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in 2004.  I've been in private practice for almost 2 years now.

As an aside, I almost blew an o-ring the first time I saw Law and Order pre-empted for state high school wrestling championships in Iowa.

And according to family legend, I cried every timeout.

I don't post often, but for the curious, I spent my first 18 years in Lexington.  Graduated from a small liberal arts school in northeast TN - Milligan College.  I have remained here since graduating in 2000.  Studied at seminary for 2.5 years, but only halfway through an M. Div.

I work a few part-time jobs, currently sub teaching, parks and rec gym suppervisor, and maintenance at Emmanuel School of Religion.  My career, for which I don't get paid, is youth ministry at a church, campus ministry at East Tennessee State (go Bucs!), and coaching Little League (go Lightning!).
