These are a couple of examples of why I am who I am, feel free to share yours! Why I Run I run because it not only helps me, it helps my family, and my friends. I am a happier person on days where I run. I seem to be more awake, I smile, I am more exciting, and all-around more fun. I started up Cross Country 2 years ago in memory of my Great Grandfather. I dedicated my life to a healthy lifestyle, and I dedicate my purpose to fulfilling his desire. He always wanted me to run. I used to be fat, and not do anything. I was a rebel. When he passed away, I realized I was unhealthy and fat and he was right my whole life. I dedicate my running to him, and myself. I always pray before each race, and illegally carry a Cross in my running shorts or hand. Why I moderate One day, I decided to look up "Games like Rune-----" online for iPad.. I came across a list of "MMORPG's" that google recommended. I went into the safari and looked up "MMORPG's for iPod" This came as one of the top twenty choices, so I downloaded it, (loved the description) I first came onto this application a day after it came out, and enjoyed every minute of it. I was a troll, definately on the other side of the ToU at one point. I quickly changed my mind when I saw how much of a hassle I was becoming on the moderators, and I decided to help them. An instant decision. I moderate this game in high hopes of the community becoming silver and clean, in a hope that all the wrong do-ers will be silenced once and for all, and that all the players here will get along. I moderate this game to make sure that this is a clean and safe environment that is suitable for all ages to play in. Why I care I have this strange belief where if I help someone, if I make someones life easier, or if I simply get someone to smile, I am able to rest easier that night. I can go to sleep knowing I made someones life better that day. That I am ABLE to help someone if they need it. That is why I care enough to come on this application every day, ladies and gentlemen, it is simply because I care to much to ignore you guys. I can't help it. If anybody has any stories or anything that they are proud of and not afraid to admit it, please let me know. I wish for this to be a highly motivational thread. Loving you, Leonardo da Vinci <3
My story is much less glamorous and features no italics due to my complete inability to do magic coding. Popped onto AppStore, games, role playing, new. Saw PIMD, downloaded it. Couple of hours after it came out I believe. Made a club, was the best. Everyone left. Then I didn't play the game at all for about two months. When I came back I took a much less selfish view of the game. I was literally just about to delete it, was all wiggly with the 'x' in the top right, when I decided to go back on for a last 5 minutes. And I realised that instead of focusing on me or my club being the best, I should try and help the community. As you can see from my post-apocalyptic wasteland of a club, I don't really care about that. Although I'm keeping it as it was the first club. Don't even mention my stats, I have nobody friendly to volley with But yeah. That's why. And all the lovely players.
I love running I'm starting to run 3 miles a week cuz I'm younger than most ppl on this,it makes u feel free
I love running. I don't do it every day but a week without running and I'd be insane. There's something calming about going out and pretty much rubbing yourself into the ground. After I found out I developed exercise induced asthma I found ways to work around it. Switching between biking and running anything that would let me get out there and just run. My goal is to run a 10k sometime this summer.
I have one, but I think it would be far too long for this unfortunately.:/ Anyway, great thread Leonardo. I always knew you loved us really, lol. -
Why I play musical instruments I love playing music. Whether it's on my violin, my guitars, my piano, or my drums. Playing music relaxes me. Whenever I'm mad I start playing the guitar or the piano. Or when I'm bored or I'm calm I play the violin or the drums. Playing musical instruments inspire me and are a part of my life. I've been able to play guitars since I was seven. Violin since I was in fifth grade. Drums since about two years ago and piano for a whole year. At night I tend to play my guitar when I can't sleep. Or I play für Elise by Beethoven on the piano to relax my mind. I've been a musician for well over seven years of my life and I play an instrument whenever I can.
Awesome story. Thanks for sharing! Totally get the running thing too. I'm the same on days when I work out and train.
