saving the world from bad literature...
...one word at a time



hi. this is the text attached to the photo you're currently seeing.  that means, it's me!
a stroke of genius in the making

hi. welcome to my humble journal. actually, can i truly say it's humble? i mean, really. it's a journal. it doesn't think or feel or act for itself. then again this is a "livejournal." though i've still yet to find any evidence that it can do any of the above. on it's own. regardless. this is, in fact my journal online. i try not to make it friends only. i like to think i can type freely on here and not get into too much trouble...

i never said i was smart.

 




This world. This life is important to me. It should be to all of us. Help make it what it should be. For everyone. one.org

 



 




now. as for a bio...

hello world. i'm alec. on the net, i'm often found as alecthegreat. it amuses me. once upon a time, i was a student. that went well. i got a degree in english literature. so, i went back for the next big thing: the master's degree in english lit. also went well. got a pretend job. worked. but also decided to return yet again to the university. mixed it up. i studied spanish and french on the third go. i liked it. a lot. still like it. now i work again, but in a very different way. i'm serving as a peace corps volunteer in mali where i work as a university english teacher--among other things. it makes me feel like i'm doing good. i like that.

oh yeah. i'm also a writer. i write everything. poetry. short stories. novels. i've written four novels. currently working on editing while also attempting to find an agent and do that whole thing. i should probably try to write another novel soon...

other tidbits about me... i'm a martial arts instructor.. without a school. so that means i'll do private lessons for people for money (or we'll work out a deal if that's an issue). maybe someday, i'll actually open a real school. me gusta café. me gusta el vino también.

and if you're ever worried about what sort of threat level the u.s. has, you need not look any further than here.
