MESSAGE FROM THE SOURSOP

Dear Readers,

I'm sure both of you have been nervous and anxiety ridden about all of the recent calamity - the incineration of most of the previous writing staff, the desperate search to fill various staff positions, and the explosion of the recent backwards time bomb (not to worry as it has already un-exploded and the clock is now ticking harmlessly up). I can now say with complete confidence that The Imaginasium has entered a new phase of stability and quality. There will be no more cavalier chandelier swinging or flippant poo flinging and I have unequivocally ended all banana masochism. No more monkey business. From this day forward, this blog will be run with a steadfast professionalism and journalistic competence that is deserving of the highest respect.

I am sure that one, if not both, of you are at least a little bit curious about me and my background. So please allow me to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Trjnh Thj Qui and I am a soursop from Northern Vietnam. I grew up quickly in a time of unrest and worked as political activist in my village until I was almost ripe. I saw the rise of a militant left wing extremist group called The Pickers and became an unwilling victim. I was smuggled out of the country on the back of a displaced yak shortly after watching my entire family be brutally sliced from our tree. I began writing reports of what I had witnessed from the field, trying to get the message out about The Pickers and the genocide that was happening there, but my words fell on deaf ears. I eventually crossed Asia to Prague and on to the States where I achieved refugee status and was able to enroll in Carnegie Mellon University the following year. I took my BS in Ethics, History, and Public Policy before moving on to Yale for my Doctorate. After graduating magna cum laude I took a job as a writing consultant for The Soursopian (http://thesoursopian.blogspot.com/). After taking that job as far as I feel I can, I am looking forward to what I can accomplish here at The Imaginasium as the soursopitarian struggle continues.

With Hope,
Dr. Trjnh Thj Qui
