Establishing myself

Well here I am, writing to this blog. Its a Friday night and I'm at home doing this. Heehaw! Well I've been in Montreal for a few months now and have been working at some magazine store near one of the universities. Four universities! Wow. I'm working early tommorrow morning so I shouldn't be out and about. I'm a red-blooded American from Arkansas living in Canada and loving the experience. My hometown is not at all important cause I'm glad to be away, y'see I'm from a backwards town, they haven't seen anything this bright blue globe in space has to offer and I never felt accepted there. My name is Sean, pronounced Shawn, now I have to tell ya this cause in the town I'm from, every teacher calling out the roll call would say:"Scene? is there a Scene Sword here?" That's how much they know about the world. I escaped from there by having had to submit to the Afghanistan war as an Air Force officer. I did my time and "retired" as a Lieutenant and left my mom and the Colonel for Montreal before the Colonel could change his mind and either force me back into the Force (pun intended) or convince his "other sons" to pressure me back.

He called them his other sons cause he didn't think I acted like what a real son would act like and they were all gung-ho for anything military. The Colonel and mom had Susannah first and she grew up to move off to Los Angeles to follow her radical feminist friends and change the world. Then came Sally, she grew up and then moved to New York to join an Irish nunnery.... Mom's Irish which is where my name came from when I, the third child but 1st and only son, was born. The Colonel wanted me to follow the multi-genrational family tradition and be a career officer. Well I am gone now from such two-dimensional constraints and am here in Montreal! HEEHAW!!!
