| Originally posted by Mr. Pink my dad was single until he was 30. THEN he got married to my mom. single for 30yrs...i can only imagine how much p00n he got. Supposedly they called him the "latin lover" in his group of friends in the AirForce. ghey nickname, but its the stories behind the nickname im interested in .... |
If he had any idea of how much my mother suffered 
I can understand him though - his mother died when he was 5, and her father was hard as a rock, so he doesn't really know what feelings are (till this day).
my dad's the richest 
he's currently an expatriate; an asia director of a huge U.S. company in China.
expatriate = company pay for VERY nice house + VERY nice school + nice car + driver + house bills + extra money for living expenses + his salary (which is huge).
thats just the money part.
he went to the marines 
he's one of the smartest + hard working person ive ever met
he's nice and sensible unlike most parents
hehe. /end bragging.
My Dad is an attorney for Latham & Watkins. Works in the 1st interstate building in LA.
My "father" is a dead beat son of a bitch. I told him not to bother us 10 years ago, haven't seen him since. If I find out where he is, I am going to break his kneecaps with my bat. Then spit on him and say "How you like them apples, biatch?"

My dad is a stupid, selfish prick and I think his purposes in this world only concisted out of making my sis and me, cheating on my mom while she was pregnant and than leave us with nothing. I haven't seen the guy for 10 years now, and I really don't give a damn shit about his sorry ass.... In my eyes he doesn't excist anymore....
You know, if anything........
if we can learn something from this thread..
from all the people that are proud of their fathers/mothers
and from all the people that are hateful and bitter and wish their dad had broken knee caps, or would suffer like they made them suffer...
if we can learn anything from this its that being a parent matters...
no matter how you look at it your parents have shaped you- even if they werent there. That emptiness did something.
Im going to make sure im a great father. I will love my child.
this i know.
President of Europe, Middle East and Africa for a software company based out of Colorado Springs, CO.
Spends a lot of time flying to different customers within afforementioned territories (although Africa might as well be South Africa) and also flying from UK to Denver around eight times a year for board meetings and the like.
When I was at school (11-18yrs, British school!) he often wasn't about due to his travelling but when he did show up he made quite a scene and because of the size of my school (350 people across the ages of 11-18yrs) rumours and stories spread like wildfire. He'd come to PTA meetings and he'd kick up a right storm and one time he had just flown back from Denver and had come up to school to surprise me. This Aston Martin with tinted windows was parked up outside my boarding house and a very well respected sportsman within the school (captain of rugby) kicks a ball that knocks the side of the car. He gets out and shouts down this 6ft 4in, 250 lb to within an inch of crying! My friends loved my Dad for things like this and the fact my friends can have a good laugh with him too
He does pretty well for himself and I'm very proud of him! I'm just sorry to hear so many people on there think their Dad's are asses, although that does make me appreciate him more.
don't you hate hearing stories about "dead-beat" dads.
i once was neighbors with 3 dead-beat dads.
don't ask how.
My dad works as a manager in a company that makes parts for formula 1 cars (Mclaren I think), porsche sport cars they also make some parts for oceanliners i think, well I'm not too much in contact with him these day, but we still live under same roof :P.
When I was young we used to go flying my dad and I with a cessna one engine plane, it was cool. Nowdays he is too busy for that. I think I'm as stubborn and sometimes as irritating as my dad, but atleast he taught me howto build things and how to do forestry work etc..
Nice dad all in all, not around, but I got to have all kinds of cool things :P and a good perspective of the world. 
OK, it's about time I tell you who I am and what I do.
Stache or no stache...too bad. (sea lab reference)
The Brawny Towel Man WISHES he was my dad
How about turning this into "Do you think you can/will do better in life than your parents?"
I dont think I will. My dad was taking 25 credit loads at University of Washington in Pre-med classes, had a pregnant wife, was buying a house and paying for it by working two jobs.
He has 5 million dollars worth of real estate completely paid off, he headed IBMs west coast division, got good enough at managing companies to where he got hired AS president and CEO so he could turn companies around then hed go turn another around...
WAyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much work. I know I dont have his work ethic. I mean, I guess I could do all that stuff, but it sounds fucking miserable. Right now im working 20 hours a week and NOT going to school and drinking like a fish with my 5 house mates playing video games on our twin TVs with linked X boxes and modchips and lanning star wars battlefront and playing Rome total war.
I run, workout, and box every day with fencing throwin in sometimes.
Personally, Im having a way better childhood than his shitty one...
Of course, he worked so hard because he didnt want to have his kids have his shitty childhood. So I cant really say he did it all because he liked working, hes a pretty amazing dad. He sacrificed everything for us...
I need to thank him.
my dad was a ltc in the army. then he retired got an office job with the state,then worked in the technology department at penn state. now he's some kind of manager at a car dealership.

my dad is dr. frankenstein. i once stood in on one of my dad's surgeries. they took a mallet and chisel to break someone's jaw bone and reposition it. also once they had to peel down someone's forehead and then move the front part of the skull forward and shove bone grafts from their ribs in the spaces in between. he also does creepy stuff like construct fake faces for people who have taken a shotgun to the face or who have those diseases where their faces have rotted away.
My dad's a scientist, he does research at a university. I'm not sure exactly what stuff he does but his field is molecular biology.
He's Greek, but he spent most of his teenage years living in Melbourne, Australia, then he went back to Greece, did army service, met my mum (who's Scottish) during that, then they moved to the UK and did various jobs, and then once they moved up to Scotland and became more settled, my brother and me were born. He's worked hard to become qualified as a scientist, that job lets us live a relatively comfortable life.
We have some things in common, we can both be a bit argumentative and stubborn (mostly with each other, heh), but I'm not sure if we've got many other similarties. Some friends have told me I look like him when I'm not wearing glasses, I don't see it but whatever...

my dad graduated from a prestigious private japanese univeristy and for a long time worked for the formerly known as IBJ (Industrial Bank of Japan) a corporate bank. he met my mother when she was also working there (London branch) and got married and had my sister. came back to japan and had me and then was transferred to the NY branch and was the general manager of the company. and then came back and then was again transferred to HongKong where he was the president of the Hong Kong branch. he came back and the bank mergered w/ other bank and changed its name to Mizuho bank.
hes a very reliable and determined man whos prospered greatly because of his work ethics (of course it helped that he comes from a good family) but he was never a very domestic kind of man. always busy with work and i hardly ever remember seeing him around much when i was younger. i dont really have a very good communicative nor close relationship but ive always admired him for his intelligence and determination to be the provider. when i was younger, i wanted to be a corporate banker because of him.... but then again, i wanted to be alot of things when i was younger . i dont really talk abou my father much and not too many of my friends have met him. i guess him working all the time in a way dented our relation or the lack of. actually, the foundation for a close relationship was never there.
anyways, no thank to his workholic-ness, couple of years ago he had a stroke on a buisness trip that left him in the IC & hospital for nearly 3 months. luckily hes fine now.. and he took time off from work (more like paid holiday ie workers compensation) for over 2 yrs and just recently ultimately retired from the bank. now he works for a small trial pharameutical company that his college friend started... i think... hes the strategic development director or something. busy working once again. oddly enough, he seems alot less tense and alot more happier now that hes busy doing something. working... i guess hes a firm believer in being produtive at all time...
i can tell you my dad was two weeks away from being ordained a priest, and then he found my mom, got married, and left the priesthood.
a very humble and kind man, yet sometimes has his priorities mixed up.
car dealer, pimp, looks like a retired pornstar, or not altogether retired as far as he's concerned...
