Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, many incredibly
important, interesting,exciting, and titilating things happened. Too bad
it's so long ago and far away, or we'd know about them. Still, makes a
keen intro, wouldn't you say? (BTW : Thanks George. Check's in the mail.)
However, (current year-1973) years ago (or so), there was
born upon this very Earth an individual so incredibly pretentious as to
describe his very birth in a pseudo-Biblical idiom.
He was born in a little town called Summerside,
in a province called Prince Edward Island, in a country
called Canada, on a planet called Earth.
This birth took place in Prince County Hospital at 10:00 AM on May 19,
1973. This makes him a Taurus with Cancer rising and the Moon in Saggitarius.
(You can click here for his complete chart).
He grew up in Summerside. In his
early childhood, he was precocious. He learned to read at the age of two,
which is an interesting story . As with many overly
bright youngsters, when his potential showed itself there was a flurry
of attention given to him,and he was treated like a little prince.
When he reached school, however, his advanced development
made him very different from the others. He didn't udnerstand them and
they didn't understand him. So he wasn't very popular and had few friends
or none.
As he progressed through the education system, he learned
better hwo to deal with people and the people, in turn, learned how to
deal with him. So he gradually made more friends and became a better adjusted
member of society. (Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. )
Then, he went off to the University of
Prince Edward Island, where he discovered, amongst other marvels, that
there were subjects that actually interested him for more than a moment
and that some people really cared about truth and reality. He was overjoyed.
Another thing his discovered at UPEI
was his love of the theatre. Here's a chart of the things he did while
a member of the UPEI Theatre Society.

But university life began to get to Früvous. His financial
situation looked increasingly bleak, and he got sick of too much studying
for a degree he couldn't see ever helping him. So, half-planned, half-on-a-whim,
and definately half-assed, he took what little money he had and moved to
Portland, Oregon. He had some friends there and figured he needed a drastic
change in his life. So he uprooted himself and replanted himself in the
grand old U S of A. Logical, don't you think?
He spent the next eight months or so living in Portland,
soaking up the artistic atmosphere and generally enjoying himself. It was
nearly impossible, however, for a young man with nothing but talent on
his resume (to speak of ) to find work in a country where he's not legally
entitled to work. Funny how those rules things work. So eventually, he
was forced to move back to little old Summerside.
Very recently, he has made another stab at the USA thing,
this time giving Silicon Valley a try. Wish him luck in finding love, happiness,
and legal employment.
In a puncual way of speaking, that brings us to now.
