When someone asks “Who are you” we might reply with our name or whatever organization we happen to be representing at the time. A clever person reading this probably knows these answers about me just by getting this far into this web page. Obviously, I am a blogger. My nom de plume is Professor Popinjay. I do not represent the lollipop guild and I do not speak for the trees… for the moment. What I do is art, humor blogs, and movie Non-reviews.
What is a Non-review you ask? It’s part movie review, part autobiography, part philosophical and humorous observation. Mainly I just like writing about what movies inspire in me and I abhor telling people what to think. So I write reviews but they’re not. They’re Non-reviews.
But who is Professor Popinjay beyond a name and a silly pastime? Well, I’m not really a professor per se though I have taught some actual classes. I enjoy writing and art and frequently employ humor into both of these endeavors but not always. I work in my family’s pizza parlor which was first established in 1956. I have five children and I am married to fellow blogger The Compass Rose Queen. If you’re curious: No, blogging is not how we met.
I have been writing humor since high school (Class of 2000) and have been published regularly in a couple of local newspapers while they lasted. Was I the cause of these publications’ downfall? Extensive counseling sessions have enabled me to believe otherwise. I have also had a blurb printed on the back of a humor book by Mifflin Lowe, right between blurbs by Erma Bombeck and a writer from the show “Family Guy”. So you see, I’m practically a Pulitzer Prize winning humor columnist sans Pulitzer Prize.
In real life I believe life is too important to be taken seriously and we should all relax and love each other and take time to laugh in spite of the world being a dumpster fire. Every little thing is gonna be alright.
Please enjoy my blog and art and certainly don’t hesitate to comment on anything you find here that inspires you, blows your mind, or makes you laugh!
I deeply and sincerely love you and I hope you win.
