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.
