Taprial
I, Taprial, would rather be the Jack-of-all-trades than Master of one. I simply don't have the patience to stay at one thing for too long. But seriously, I believe anyone can do anything. I am an Electrical Engineer, working in the shipping world. Got interested in computers some time back. Did a course in Cyber crime investigation and then got interested in writing. Finished a book that I am still trying to sell and in the meanwhile writing for pleasure and some money. Love reading & writing and watching movies. Believe in destiny and God. How else would someone land up on Xomba out of millions of websites out there?

mamamia07
mamamia07 is primarily a stay at home mom. I have also a B.Arch degree and a B School diploma which she has put to some use in the oh so distant past. She ran a stock broking unit for some years which she closed when her Husband got his umpteenth transfer. She is presently just happy looking after her kids and home and being a member of Xomba. Her family (mistakenly of course) assumes Xomba comes before them and they look after themselves!
She enjoy reading when she has the time. She really doesn’t remember when she last watched TV seriously. Her real ambition now is to be a best selling novelist of the Mills and Boon genre set in the Indian mileu. However since her only experience at writing has been at Xomba, that dream doesn’t look to get fulfilled soon, if at all. Her other major interests are sports and surfing. Her pet peeves are pollution, destruction of natural resources (hwe home state is being systematically destroyed by excessive mining) and big business and not politics being accountable while the small guys suffer.

Wdzzz
Wdzzz came across Xomba by way of my wife looking for an outlet to share my writings that she so loves. My wife is my number one fan. She started us on this path of being Xombies and it has been a very pleasant and successful trip for us. I am so honored to be inducted into the Xomba Hall of Fame with some of the best writers I have ever known. I enjoy reading the articles on Xomba as much as writing them. The hardest part of being selected is the requirement to select four of my favorite articles to share in this bio. I have my choices slimmed down to forty. Trying to select just four is a nightmare! Here are my four favorites only because I had to limit it to four:
Paranoid Schizophrenia - A Sibling's Story
I believe I have “Superhuman Powers”…
When God is all you have...you realize that He is all you need
I finally made it to college 22 years after dropping out of school in the middle of the tenth grade while a straight ‘A-B’ student. I am finishing up my second full year. I became a legal adult at 16. At which time I moved to Hawaii and began working two jobs and continued enjoying the Hawaiian party life for the next two years.
I suffered from severe depression since I was seven years old but have found freedom from it, without medication, for the last two and a half years. Laughter is a common occurrence in our household and sometimes we laugh ourselves silly. Thanks to be to God.
During my life I have lived on the streets, been divorced once, currently married to my very best friend, and attending a church I like. As a teenager I remember stealing a candy bar out of the store to have something to eat, and having my sister comment on the fact that she could see my ribs. I have been hit broad side by a semi-truck doing 55 miles per hour and walked away unscratched, but I did have a hard time remembering my name. I have almost drowned twice. And I have been saved from death a few more times. I once ran a 102 degree Fahrenheit temperature for five months straight and lost 40 lbs during that time. God has been very merciful to me. It is by design that I am still on this earth. I am still alive and able to love, be loved, and help people.
I love Jesus, mysticism, truth, love, good friends, knowledge, and seeing people come into the full potential of their personal life and in their relationships.

DeDom
DeDom is an internet entrepreneur, as well as a student. He plans on attending school for a Nuclear Maintenence and Operations program this Fall of 09, but has no definite plans afterward. Xomba has become a very big part of his life, and has been one of his main sources of income for almost two years now. He's a Xombie!
While not typing away the latest trend, or event, he can be found training in Muay Thai, throwing a party, eating a steak over fettuccine alfredo, or spending some good old quality time with his family.
DeDom had once gone on a 27 day road trip and thought it was stellar. Now his one main aspiration is to travel the world and see and experience as much as he can.

kjhack
Kjhack has been writing in one form or another for almost 30 years. He began writing for the social expression market (greeting cards) in 1987, when he received his first check for his absurd humor. His writing these days is mainly focused on creating content for the internet, via a variety of sites like Xomba, as well as his personal blogs.
When he's not writing, kjhack can often be found whizzing through the countryside on his carbon fiber road bike, or exploring the outdoors in a pair of hiking boots.
