I do, in fact, attend Simon's Rock College of Bard: The College for Younger Scholars. Well, actually, because that's too wordy, they recently lost the "College for Younger Scholars" part after a furious controversy.
I don't really do much, which is probably why I've gotten interested in the Wiki and Nu pedias. I had intended for my first article here to be about the Ainu, an ethnographically puzzling bunch living on Hokkaido, Japan, but when I found out there was no Japanese History page, I figgured I ought to work on that first.
[Aye Chan]? would probably appreciate that if he weren't in Japan now. [Chris Coggins]? will probably appreciate if I remember to tell him. He's more of a Chinese Ecology guy than a Japanese History guy, though.
The main reason I don't have much to do is that, as of the moment, I'm unemployed. I'm also broke. Generous donations for my work here will not be turned down. All I have left to eat is rice, beans, and Sazon?. Oh shit. I'm down to one pack of cigarettes?. This is a pickle.
Maybe I should plug things here? Let's see. [McCoy Tyner]?, [Thelonius Monk]?, and [Keith Jarrett]? are, in my mind, the greatest muscians ever. George Clinton, to whom I'm listening right now, is no slouch. Winston? Lights are the cigarettes of champions, not just racing fans ( many of whom aren't champions ). John Updike, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, [Phillip Roth], [Joseph Heller]?, and [Irvine Welsh]? are amongst the authors I enjoy. I probably would enjoy Thomas Pynchon, but all I've read of his is the [Crying of Lot 49]?, so that hardly makes me an authority. ( I'll read Gravity's Rainbow sometime ) Oh, and if you want great gin for a great price, I highly recommend Seagram?'s ( yes they make gin. ) Gin's not good for you though. The [juniper berries]? make you age prematurely. That explains the British, huh?
Oh, right, about me. I'm from Philadelphia, which, despite what most Philadelphians? may believe, does have many strong points. I'm an ardent Phillies? fan, a team which, despite what many Phillies fans may believe, does have many strong points. I think I'm about 5'8", but despite my stature I'm strikingly handsome?, with deep [blue eyes]?. I don't have a scanner, or pictures of myself? for that matter, so you'll just have to [trust me]? on this.
If you have any questions or comments, please, feel free to email me at seckstu@simons-rock.edu .
If anyone knows why the double brackets aren't working right here, could you let me know? If you're annoyed by all the double brackets, you can feel free to delete them. I was just trying to be cute.
Welcome in Wikipedia. It's good to have another creative person who will contribute to our pet project.
It might interest you that one of the first researchers who took interest
in Ainu culture was a Polish ethnographer. Don't remember his name right
now but some time ago I saw a fascinating documentary on the Polish TV.
The most striking in the documentary were special disks with recordings
of their chants and songs.
Hope you enjoy being a Wikipedian like I do,
