Mansuite lives

Like one of those flatworms which you cut apart in 8th grade science class and then somehow all the pieces you butchered remained alive and began to regrow into individual worming wormy things--that's the parable of mansuite's members.

Summer is over. One year ago to this date we were crashing over the rips in a small motorboat off the coast of Cape May, NJ. Now we may all be in separate boats, but we all exist on the same sea--the sea of life. And before this gets any more corny, a recap of what all of us are doing.

Jon--Couldn't get enough of beautiful California, and despite all his pleadings, he unfortunately was torn away and forced to march onwards to France, since he had already paid astronaut tuition and they'll be damned if he's not getting on that spaceship now.

Tom--Got tired of his morning-til-night backbreaking internship of laying bricks in Switzerland and built a robot who will do it for him. The robot is coming to New York to lay bricks in an exhibit there. He now returns to Philadelphia for a Salabol selling marathon.

Winston--Packed up his belongings, caulked the wagon, forded the river and headed for the desert. Nobody has heard from him since.

Jordan--Surfed and lounged in the sun for 10 weeks straight in Papa New Guinea. On the last day he wrote an 8 page paper (double-spaced, 1.5 inch margins) about surf culture in paradise, thus fulfilling his obligations as an anthropology major. He heads to Australia now to hope to do it again.

Colin--Began his acting career running puppet shows in small-town Minnesota. Soon he was discovered and began featuring in independent films in the area. Now he is big-time living in New York and becoming a star. And it only took 8 weeks!

Michael--Picked a name out of a hat and moved to Boston randomly. He deletes porn for a living and basically deals with the 9-to-5 drudgery of life. He also wrote an ebook and learned that his website will rank higher in search listings if it has other websites linking to it. The book is a resource to help prepare students for succeeding on their exams and the website is http://www.examstudytips.com . Putting that link here may or may not have been the entire reason for writing this post.
