About Me |
|
I edited my layout at .. , check out these Myspace Layouts! About me? Well… I am Sagittarius, so I always need to know, and I always have to tell others what I know, like when I wrote an epic poem trying to justify and explain the ways of God to man, not like anybody ever really understood me, but I digress. I earned my Masters degree at Cambridge, yes that Cambridge, and did a European tour where I got to meet the likes of Bacon (though that was a little later), Cromwell and Galileo among others. I even got to hear Donne preach while at school, and let me tell you, was he ever over rated. Good, but over rated. I used to read a lot of Dante and Homer, which is so obvious when you read my epic poem Paradise Lost where I blatantly rip off those guys, but nobody seemed to mind. I was an opponent of that despotic Catholic church and of the Stuarts who I was happy to hear after my death were wiped out during the Georgian era. Thank God for Hanover. I got to serve proudly under Cromwell and gladly remarried not even four years after my first wife died as I was in desperate need of male offspring. I wrote many a poem, though I found it very hard to rhyme and abandoned that restriction altogether when writing my epic poem (I don’t know how Homer and Dante did it, over 50 000 lines that rhyme?????). Anyways, I never had a son and had to teach my daughter how to read so that she could help me write my epic, what with me being blind and all. I also wrote some polemic essays and fought for many a liberties, though usually only liberties that befitted me directly. Yup, that was me, a promoter of rights for the middle class, but not for working class men, any women, or any folks of colour, though people often overlook my blatantly self-serving agenda when dissecting my works in literary classes today. I died of gout eventually, no doubt because I was so gluttonous. That's about it. |

My Interests |
|
| For my good friend Yeats!Well, I spend most of my time worshiping God up here in Heaven, but other than that I enjoy reading and writing. | |
I'd like to meet:Well, since I already met the likes of Donne and Galileo (and that was before I died), there isn't many people on my list. Dante, I got to meet in heaven (and did he ever tear me a new asshole for ripping off so much of his work) and Jesus is up here with me. I've met so many people, I guess the only person I'd like to meet is Homer, but he's stuck in Limbo and I am not going down there, though I am tempted to, just so Dante won't keep bragging to me how he got to meet Virgil and Homer. .. width="425" height="350" .. .. width="425" height="350" .. |

Music:Well, who doesn't love Mozart and Beethoven, still, I have to say there is something to be said for a little Led Zeppelin and Metallica, I really get into the heavy stuff. Pearl Jam is pretty good too, I like how, like me, they don't rhyme that much. |
|
Movies:Well, I've yet to see a good adaptation of my wondrous epic, but I hope to soon. Troy was a bastardization of a beautiful piece of epic poetry, and original Jason and the Argonauts (the one Ray Harryhausen did), though not close to the original story line was a joy. I liked Titus, and other Shakespearean films, though I must say, seeing it on stage in the 17th century was much more of a treat. |
|
Television:I love Lost and Desperate Housewives, and I used to watch Dallas faithfully, but they took it off the air. That CSI program is pretty good to, I must say, the the NY and Miami versions are as good as the Las Vegas one. I LOVE sin city! |
|
Books:The Complete Works of Shakespeare, obviously, The Inferno, The Iliad, The Odyssey of course the good book itself: The Bible (I like the King James version personally). |
|
Heroes:Jesus, Homer (for a heathen he was pretty admirable), Dante, Donne and Cromwell. |
