Where have you lived?

[Tiger]

I figured since I just moved a couple months ago, I'd start a topic about this. Now, I don't expect the names of towns as some like to keep that private it.

 

I have lived in Kansas City, Missouri as well as several small towns with in 60 miles of it. One was called Pleasanton, Kansas. I just moved from there, but I also lived there when I was very young. I also lived in another town close to Pleasanton called Mound City. I really liked that town. It's where I lived when I first started going to school. I also lived in a very small town on the Missouri side called Amoret. I didn't really like that town at all. Then there was a town in southeast Missouri that I lived in called Bertrand. It was about 2 hours south from St. Louis and two hours north of Memphis. Now I lived in a town called Waxahachie, Texas. It's not extremely large, but it's much bigger than most of the others in which I have lived. The only exception, of course, is Kansas City. So, now I'm curious about where others have lived and whether or not they've moved great distances. If the names of the towns are not to your liking, regions and/or proximity to major cities is just fine.

Where have I lived? That is a difficult question. I can't remember all the lifetimes and people that I've been.

 

 

 

I remember Babylon and her Hanging Gardens,

They called us the Immortals there

In the land of the rivers crescent.

 

In Macedon I met a noble prince

and followed him across the world

but after a summer of conquest

came a very long fall

 

In Carthage I stood upon the walls

in service of a king most fair

The Romans bleed in horrific war

killed us all and picked the corpses bare

 

Again against Rome I losed my sword

In a place called Massada

Again the hoardes came and picked our bones

In the land some call Holy.

 

Upon the Steepes from the East

came a plague called the Khan

His riderers spread across the horizon

At a last stand in Prague we broke them

and they receeded like the tide.

 

The Popes called for a rightious Crusade

So pilgrims could visit the holy lands

In pluder the noble lost their vision

Many Lords of Chrisendom fell into heathen hands.

 

At Agincout I joined Prince Henry

and his merry few

All the might of France fell that day

and there in the mud we slew.

 

Against the Franco Emperor,

Prussia's horsemen stood like a wall

Pressed we were to the bitter end

We were at Waterloo to see him fall.

 

Once again heeding freedom's cry

This time in the Brave New World

At Shiloh and Vicksburg we broke the gray

we saw the end of slavery

a worthy reason to die.

 

In Flanders field we fough the Kaiser

And broke his imperial ambition

There we saw the horror of modern war

and endless battles of attrition.

 

Barely a generation later after an unjust peace,

We fought against the evil one,

The coming of a horrible beast

Europe lay broken even after the war was one.

 

When freedom is at stake,

There is no need to call.

The Immortals will always be there

Until the day we can finally rest

and there is freedom for all.

I was born in Kingston, Pennsylvania.

I lived first in Lee Park in Hanover Township from 1985 until 1987.

Then moved from the valley to the mountains to Nuangola Station in Rice Township. From 1987 until 2005.

Finally moved to Montreal, Quebec during July 2005.

 

In Montreal, I lived in four different apartments in three different districts.

 

I'm a student. It's normal for us to move a lot in Montreal since the leases usually only last for a year.

1987 - Born in Boynton Beach, Florida, lived in Boca Raton, Florida until I was 9. Technically we lived in a place called "West Boca", supposedly the richer area, but it's not an actual place on a map, so Boca Raton was our mailing address.

1996 - Moved to Flemington, New Jersey.

2005 - Graduated HS and moved to Pomona, New Jersey, 20 minutes west of Atlantic City, New Jersey, where I attended college for 3 years. I lived there for six semesters and lived at home in F-town during summer and winter breaks. Governor John Corzine's government SUV made it's famous 90 MPH wreck less than a mile from where I was. I remember the helicopters roaring overhead as I walked to class as they carried him to the hospital in nearby Galloway Township.

2008 - Moved back to F-town.

 

Sometimes I get the urge to move closer to my current school, Rutgers University in New Brunswick/Piscataway, but it's cheaper to commute every day.

 

I hope to be living in Denver/Boulder/Golden, Colorado or Oak Ridge, Tennessee for a period of 10 weeks this summer. We'll see.

Starting with the earliest place I can remember, I have lived in --->

Kalingpong (Sikkim) - A scenic and small-ish town near Darjeeling.

 

Kolkata (West Bengal) - The third largest metropolis in India.

 

Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) - Need I say anything?

 

Pathankot (Punjab) - A nice town, almost a gateway to J&K.

 

Gaya (Bihar) - The historic town of Bodh Gaya, where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment.

 

New Delhi - The capital of the country

 

Chandigarh - A federally (centrally, here) governed territory and the capital of Punjab as well as Haryana. A beautiful city, and my birthplace...

 

 

Phew....
