Shaun - One Man's Quest For Free Love

2006-11-13T15:31:00.000-08:00

For my post I chose Amazon.com .

I chose this site namely because this is where I purchase most of my BU schoolbooks and because I have been buying books off Amazon for years so I am rather comfortable with the way the site functions.
Amazon.com is started out as an online bookstore and then branched out into other fields. It now sells, books, DVD's, clothing, tools and pretty much anything else. When you search a product Amazon provides you with reviews of the product (each product has an official professional review and then numerous consumer reviews and ratings), prices (both new and second hand) and then also suggestions on other articles to buy based on what other customers who bought the same product you are looking at bought. Amazon also gives you (if books are concerned) the number of pages, the suitable reading demographic and other stats of that nature.

A website that competes with Amazon is Barnes and Noble.

One way in which I find that B&N is superior to Amazon is that they allow customers to pay with PayPal.

Unfortunately dear readers, this shall be a short, informative post. I apologise for leading you on so much but fear not, for tales of Shaun's sexual exploits will soon be told.

For HW#4 -- I chose JP Morgan chase and Goldman Sachs because the former is my father's old company and the latter is his current one and I was curious as to the connetion between the two companies. The link between them was very straightforward going from William H. Gray III (who is on the board of JP) to Pfizer where he shares a spot on the board with Rebecca J Simmons who is on the board of Goldman.

I shall return soon with tales of Shauns lore my friends! Until next time!

Before delving further into Shaun's exploits it has occurred to me that you may be asking yourselves who on earth I am and what credentials I have. So, to quaff your desire for knowledge about my past life and doings I shall post below some reviews and a short tale of my life to this date...

Critics Say:

Plaja can write like an ostrich can fly. Appalling”
- Robert Scunthorpe, Literary Critic -- A Respected Book Site

“As influential as the banana-leaf shields used by African natives against the British army.”
- An Authoritative Newspaper Read It Here

“An author like this would have given Hitler a chance to convince the world some books need to be burnt”
- Famous Historian

“Pretentious critics can go **** themselves. This is a masterpiece”
- Alberto Furlan

About Me:

Born in Angola, 8th December 1986, of American parents with Italian origin, Eugenio Plaja soon rose to prominence in writing in an international Paris school with works inspired by Monty Python, receding hairlines and Parisian courtesans.
His talent was broken, battered, fried and served with a garnishing of Guacamole in the Sir James Henderson School of Milan, where his friends Sean and Albi turned his minds to better things, like women, sport, alcohol and general nudity. A particularly influential English teacher by the name of Fordor tried to rescue his talents in his last years of school, but to no avail. An essay discussing why Hamlet is comparable to modern day emo-kids is all that is left of this period of Plaja’s writing.
Currently, he resides in Boston, the only American city with a culture comparable to any city Europe, where he is taking a degree in “Chandlerology” at BU university, a newly introduced course which teaches the arts of procrastination, putting the emphasis on the wrong word and confusing everyone as to what your actual job is. His progress in this course is so impressive, not even Eugenio knows what he does for a living.

After being in and out of contact with Shaun for the last 6 odd years I finally decided that his story could not stay within my mind any longer. It was time for the general public to become aware of what I consider to be one of the greatest men, nay, prophets of our time. But, when it came time for me to begin to pen the tale that you are about to hear, it occurred to me that I am recounting a story which has no end. Shaun is still living, breathing, walking amongst us mortals changing history one devious nude act at a time. With that in mind I shall try my best to present you, dear readers, with a clear picture of the man that I consider to be one of my personal role models.

Chapter 1 -- "Laying the Groundwork"

The day I first became acquainted with Shaun is one that I remember as if it were yesterday. It was the first day of freshman year of high school. At first glance he seemed harmless. We were both new to the school and as a result spoke very little but I remember a certain innocence radiating from Shaun. The pale, freckled face combined with that soft Irish twang and those doughy eyes. He rather reminded me of a frightened deer in a woodland glade, cornered by the hounds, as he stood in the doorway facing that roomful of new classmates. They say that the first impression you make on someone is the one that they will carry with them for the rest of your acquaintance. Whatever zoo monkey came up with that could never have been more wrong. For it was the corruption of this very innocence that would lead Shaun to become the man we know and love...

Next Week: Chapter 2 -- "Sexual Deviant Unleashed"
