Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Since this is the first post on my new "blog" (wouldn't that be a great name for a sci-fi monster; you know, like "The Blog That Attacked Cleveland"), I thought I should introduce myself; my name is John and I am the Pope of the All John All the Time World Church. My offical title is Pope John The Tall, and I am the first of what I hope will be a long line of confused but cordial Popes.

By way of introduction, I thought I might give you some background information on myself.

I was born a poor immigrant child, into a family of Etruscans who were living on the planet Uranus at the time. When I was 43, we emigrated to the planet Zatox after Uranus planetary officials discovered that my parents, Gorvack and Huh?, were on Uranus with no proper identification papers.

I was educated at various schools on Zatox, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in channel-surfing from the Orion Technical Institute and Pizza Parlor on Star Date 8523.51. I have a Masters from the University of Lower Piedmont in Total Nonsense and a Ph.D. in Hard Knocks from Harvard (IL) University School of Hard Knocks.

I am currently self-employed, mostly because no one will hire me, as Pope of the All John All The Time World Church, and along with my dog, Harley, live in seclusion on a remote island in the Sargasso Sea.
My hobbies are interviewing Civil War generals for articles I never write nor publish, listening to zither music and beating my dog cruelly and viciously every other day, whether he needs it or not.

I am also currently writing my memoirs, "A Day In The Life Of An Irish Setter", hopefully to be published soon.

As Pope of the AJATTWC, I am very active in fund raising for my favorite charity, The Home For The Chronically Bewildered, and would ask that any donations to this worthy organization be sent, in bills of $20 or less, to my home address.

Well, that was certainly a mouthful.

Please watch my blog for my periodic views and opinions on all sorts of news stories, personal points of view, ideas for better living through chemistry (that was, for those of you too young to remember, the slogan for the DuPont Chemical Company back in the '50's; I assume it was tounge-in-cheek) and general nonsense.

And remember, I may be going slow, but at least I'm not getting anywhere.

Love and autobiographies.
