Assignment 1- Neil McGinley

My name is Neil Francis McGinley IV, due to the huge surplus of Neil Francis McGinley’s my parents deemed it necessary I be given a nick name. What would they choose? They had a litany of names they had intended to grant me before the first Neil McGinley died, and as we know there must be at least 3 Neil McGinleys whenever possible, would they call me one of those? No. They picked Boo, and the reasons differ from Dad to Mom to Grandma but it doesn’t bother me. It’s perfect I think.
As for interests I have few. I am occasionally thrown into fits of folded paper. I, ever so often, fold origami till I get paper cuts and then quit for 6-ish months. As far as skill level I am less than Robert Lang and Tadashi Mori, somewhere more in the realm of Jo Nakshima, I’d like to think. As far as original models go, I am plagued by my inability to fold anything less than “a weird crane.”
Other interest include architecture, more specifically Hyper Art Thomassons, which if I were to simplyfy incredibly just means ‘left over, nonsensical architecture.’ We’re talking rails with no associated stairs, chimneys whose houses are long gone, window sills with no discernible windows. The stuff of dreams. However “Thomassons” must have been taken care of after they became useless. The must be maintained uselessness. Which if you read, essentially it’s the Bible of hyper art Thomassons, it remarks on how weird it is we would take care of anything useless in our economy. Pretty intriguing stuff but I digress.
When I was a kid I had a super hero I liked to write little 10 second stories about, his power was that he could replace a random thing in the room with some other random thing somewhere else. The punchline was that it always ended up working but that it made him look ridiculous. So yeah, that’d be a cool power I think, or a fun power at least.

A bunch of free pseudo-games for investing on blogs and such.

And this is a textbook example of a Thomasson, what does it keep rain off of? who’s balcony is it?Nothing. No one! It’s beautiful.
Thank you. That is all.
