Can I play ?

I personally I have no problem being who I am online as well as off it. The statments and posting I make online are no different from those I would express in the 'real' world. I stand by them online and offline equaly and fear no consequences for what I say in the real world or elsewhere.

I do not expect or argue that this should be the case for anyone else or draw an conclusion for those with a differing appraoch. I am just stating my personal approach and one that I have maintained throughout my life in cyberspace.

If you want a picture of me (and I am not sure you do?) then I am flattered and more than happy to provide one. You can try the following link

though I am not sure if this will work - it's from a no fee/subscription site so my not. Or if you are really interested you could try

http://www.visionmatters.co.uk/video/

I believe I am in all these clips somewhere or other and in 'live motion' to boot

Or if you want more 'background' as to who I am and what I am about you could just try a simple goolge on 'erol ziya' + some kind of telcoms related terms (likle BT or Oftel or Ofcom or telecoms or unmetered)

(edit here is an old Q&A about me as well http://www.unmetered.org.uk/about/committee_ez.htm)

I realise that this post may be seen as egotistical and quite possibly it is, I can not really be the judge of that. The point I am trying to get accross however is that for me personaly I have never understood why in general terms anyone would want an 'annoymous' online identity rather that their own real idendtity ?

Anyway each to their own.

Greetings all!

Here it goes. Im 36, 5.11 Tall, weigh in at 170lbs. and my black hair is turning prematurely white. But that's ok because my wife likes it.

I was born in Mersin (Icel), Turkey while my parents were vacationing there during their stint in Germany. My parents are Turkish and I'm the eldest of three. One brother and one sister.

My father, having the nomadic and adventurous blood of Turks, decided to move us to the States when I was 5 and we've been living here ever since. I speak German, Turkish and do my best at English. My next language hopefully shall be Greek.

I attended university and received a degree in film and advertising. On the side I studied history. I am facinated with Greek, Roman and Turkish history. If I had to do it again I would be and archeologist digging up ancient sites in Turkey and Greece.

I never was able to pursue my passion for film because of reality. I had to make money. I worked with my father until he sold his business 4 years ago. After he sold, I took a nice long vacation in Turkey where I met my gorgeous wife. I told her that I was going to marry her the first night I met her. Six months later we were married in Turkey. She has been my newest best friend ever since. We plan on kids next year if the Gods smile upon us.

While I was in Turkey I visited the town of Bodrum where I hooked up with a couple of American Turks. One night while having ample portions of Jack Daniels, we decided to go to the island of Kos the next day. Even though I was apprehensive I went. This trip changed my whole outlook on Greeks. We were treated like rock stars even though the Greeks knew we were. Turkish. It then occured to me that the problems between Greeks and Turks were stemming from our politicians. DOH!

After I was married I got into the homebuilding business with a good friend and that's what I do for a living.

I was thinking about retiring to Cyprus. After watching you guys going at it on this forum I'm gonna wait and let the dust settle between you Cyps.

I truly think you guys are onto something. I hope mainland Turks and Greeks don't screw it up for you. You guys have the opportunity to build a nation. Ain't it cool?

Favorite music: Anything but American country....yeeeeeeehaaawwww!
Favorite films: The Tempest, starring Nick Cassavettis, all Stanley Kubric films, Hitchcock films and Francis Ford Coppola's works. Oliver Stone can kiss my arse.

Thanx!

Don't you think we should add a small picture of ourselves, so the reader can get an idea of who he's/she's reading about.

Here's a picture of me taken last year...lol

Girl you look gorgeous and how you are still single is a mystery to me.
