My name's not really Jimbo Jones and I'll never be a cheerleader...
Okay, so I'm not Jimbo Jones. It was the first name which popped into my head. I wonder how many other people have had the same experience. If there was an internet poll, who, or what, would be crowned the 'most poppable' cyberspace pseudonym?
I've had a look round the site and some people's online personae appear to double as an attempt to EXPLAIN life, the universe and everything, let alone just describe it. A name's a name, not a personal history (hmm, really? Now there's a talking point). At least, it should be in here. Jimbo Jones is short, punchy yet lyrical; like a character from a folk song - 'The Ballad of Jimbo Jones'. I like that. Generic, yet individual. Slightly comic - think Dumbo, Groucho.
Anyhow, so I'm a planetary science graduate working in urban regeneration and spending my spare time training to be an environmental scientist and pondering sustainable development with a view to one day helping save humanity from itself. How pompous that sounds... I just want to make a difference, man, like the rest of y'all.
Contrary to the impression that some of the references above may have given, i live in north London, get my exercise from cycling to work, will probably catch my death from inhaling car exhausts, and spend my leisure time in pubs and bars or walking in the spectacular British countryside. I like trees, but only on an aesthetic level (for now) and would volunteer to travel to Mars at the first opportunity. All these things mitigate against my ever becoming a cheerleader, but I did enjoy 'Bring It On'.
