I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and
crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train
stations on my lunch breaks, making them more
efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate
ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning
operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I
tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone
playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with
unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in
twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in
love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once
single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon
Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play
bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the
subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I
build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy
urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I
repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a
ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my
original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't
perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan
mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the
weekend passes. Last summer, I toured New Jersey with
a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat
.400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame
in international botany circles. Children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with
deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick,
and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to
refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know
the exact location of every food item in the
supermarket. I have performed several covert
operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do
sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in
Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of
terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of
physics do not apply to me.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills
are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I
participate in full-contact origami. Years ago, I
discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it
down. I have made extraordinary four course meals
using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed
prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan,
cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling
bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have
performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with
Elvis.
But I have not yet gone to college.
What is this?
That was very, very good. You could very well become a very good fictional writer; so why are you on here???
Get going and put your God-given talent to good use!
