Biography Template - Male


Introduction


The purpose of this document is to provide a fill-in-the-blank form for creating a biographical write-up while keeping the reader interested and alert.  Just copy and paste the content below into your favorite text editor, and replace the FIRSTNAME, MIDDLENAME, and LASTNAME entries with yours, and you're ready to hand it to any prospective employer or government official.  It's that easy!

Let's Begin...



[INSERT PHOTO HERE] FIRSTNAME MIDDLENAME LASTNAME was born to parents Melvin Shanghai Sukimbo, from Cuba, and Shi-Shi Von Uteristein, from Afghanistan, while living in the small Italian village of Ombwata Kickbutti, on the Eastern shores of Chad.
At the age of two, FIRSTNAME learned to speak fourteen languages, and read and write six more.  Upon entering the first grade, he had mastered multivariate Calculus and factored all of the prime numbers, when he stayed home from school with a mild case of Herpes and Ebola.
By the time FIRSTNAME had entered Middle School, his family had to relocate to Australia to avoid his paternity suit with four Elementary School teachers and the assistant principal.  The suit was eventually dropped when the five plaintiffs mysteriously turned up in an old, rusty, solar-powered wood-chipper somewhere in the lawless gang-ruled neighborhoods of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
Prior to graduating High School, FIRSTNAME earned a scholarship to John C. Holmes University, for his exceptional work curing Cancer, AIDS and his invention of Teflon-coated undergarments.  While studying for PhD thesis, FIRSTNAME co-founded the multi-billion dollar corporation Gasious Clay, manufacturing scent-controlled automated Halon systems for office restrooms.  He sold his interests in that company and spent the next few weeks studying to earn his IT certifications.  By the end of the month, he had earned MCP, MCSA, MSCE, MCSD, MCDST, MCITP, and MCT certifications.  
Within a week after his Bar Mitzvah, FIRSTNAME earned his Cisco CCNA and CCNE certifications. Before his 19th birthday, he won the IronMan competition in France, handily defeating the reigning world champion Moses Van Roidshot.   In fact, FIRSTNAME set a new record for lifting and carrying 500 lbs of concrete blocks across a 100 yard obstacle course, walking on his hands, with the weight suspended from his penis by braided steel cables.
At his next position as the Mexican Ambassador to Somalia, FIRSTNAME solved all of the same problems your company is just now having to deal with.  This makes him the perfect candidate for CEO of your organization, even if you currently do not have a position titled as "CEO". You could do a lot worse, and you always have.

Remembering my Dad

Today, my dad would have been 93 years old.  However, he passed away in 1987 at the age of 69.  I got to thinking about some of the wacky stuff he used to do, and some of the wacky things he used to say, and I remembered a conversation we had back in 1985 while driving to the grocery store one day.  Ahead and to the right we could see what appeared to be a girl walking in the same direction, with her back to us as we approached.  Here's how the conversation went:

Dad: "I can't tell boys from girls anymore.  The hair is all the same now."

Me: "You're just being cranky. You don't understand how we dress nowadays.  That's obviously a girl."

Dad: "How can you tell?"

Me: "By the walk."

We were going about 20 MPH in a 25 zone on a neighborhood back street.  There was a long pause of silence as we finally caught up to this pedestrian.  Both our eyes darting to the right constantly to pick up any clues to be the first to claim victory.  When we finally passed "her", it was obvious "she" had a full-face beard. I'm talking: Grizzly Adams beard now.  I was completely blown away by this.

Dad: "Uh huh!" smiling and nodding

Me: "Wow.  I didn't expect that at all."

Dad: "He's not a very attractive girl."

The Wandering Reader

I promised this to almost a dozen people, so I have to do it.  I hope I haven't overhyped it already and that this won't be a let-down.  It's one hundred percent true and factual, so I have to be sure to tell it accurately; here goes…

So one night I brought two (of my four) kids to Barnes & Noble to spend some time letting their eyes and minds wander.  After a few minutes perusing the books in the Philosophy aisle, I heard a man's voice talking in the distance.  It had a strange tone and cadence.  The more I listened it seemed to sound like a preacher or a minister delivering a damning speech about retribution, consequences and all that.  The voice was getting closer.   I looked up and saw a homeless guy (you can tell homeless people by the clothes, the hair, the general demeanor, and most importantly: the aroma).

His hair was just past his shoulder blades in length and hadn't been combed (or washed) since probably 1982.  The clothes were older than that and looked like he just emerged from a cement truck tumbler.  Apocalyptic.  That's not the best part:

He would stroll, slowly, up and down each and every aisle of books, reach out and pick up a random book - without ever turning his eyes to see which book.  Then he would open it to a random page and read from it like a sermon.  One book per length of aisle.  As he passed customers and staff, he looked them in the eye as if administering a testament from a Bible.

The good?  It was entertaining as hell!  I had to walk behind him at the same pace, as if I were his clean-up crew, or body guard.  Just to witness this.

The bad? The books he read were put back on different shelves.  After an hour of this I'm sure the staff had a lot of re-stocking work to do.

In all, I followed him as he read from about ten books.

This Should Cheer You Up for a While

I'll be immersed in a few projects over the next week or so, so my posts may become few until I get past that hurdle.  Enjoy!
