Me asking me questions about me


Lets get one thing straight, I’ve never been the most eloquent person. I’ve never considered speaking and writing to be my ‘forte”, but regardless of my shortcomings I generally have a lot to say.

At this point everybody and their mother (I’m really not exaggerating) have been blogging for years. I don’t expect strangers to stumble upon my site and be swept away by my writing, however it would be welcome! I do feel I have somewhat of an obligation to give the people I know love a place to see what I’ve been up to and on my mind. So as a refresher, lets review who I am.

Q: Who the heck am I?
A: My name is John. At this moment I am 25 years old and I have every intention of keeping it that way. I was born and raised in West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA to an average middle class family. I have an enormous amount of respect for my family (both immediate and extended) and too often do a poor job of keeping in touch with everyone. I hope that this journal will help change that.


Q: What is my favorite color?
A: Blue


Q: Where the heck have I been all of my life?
A: For the most part I’ve been in West Chester, PA. I did spent 4.5 years studying at Shippensburg University in Shippensburg, PA. The longest I have ever been away from Pennsylvania was for a two and a half week trip to Europe.


Q: So what, am I scared to leave or something
A: Yes! Incredibly! But I’m doing it anyway, so back off!


Q: Where do I know?
A: I have a BA in Information Management and Analysis, and Supply Chain Management from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania. I'm somewhat knowledgeable when it comes to music, specifically percussion. I also enjoy learning about cars and currently have a Mini Cooper S I‘m trying to sell!


Q: What makes me so great?
A: Most of my power is derived from my double-jointed thumbs.

Q: What do I do?
A: I’m in massive “save money” mode, so not much. I work a lot. I am currently employed by a pharmaceutical distribution company doing pricing and contract analysis for major corporate accounts (currently about 140-150 million $). When I’m not at work I spend most of my time getting ready for school and playing guitar or drums.


Q: What are my short term goals?
A: My short term goal is to move to Australia and get my Masters degree. Things are looking very good!


Q: Why Australia?
A: Why not?


Q: Where do I see myself in 10 years
A: Honestly, I’ll be happy if I’m still alive. I have no clue what I will end up doing with my life. Ideally I would like to find a way to get rich while making the world a better place.


Q: Do I expect anybody to ever read this?
A: No.

Blog

I have an xanga already, but this might work better. I'll come back and play with it later.
