So, who am I? Why am I so angry? Why would I use anthropoid?
Well, let’s start with the easy stuff. I’m not that angry really, more annoyed than anything else. But, annoyed anthropoid just sounds too sing-songy. And I use anthropoid because it sounded better with angry. I mean one angry human is just silly, no music to it at all.
Circumlocution:

1. The use of unnecessarily wordy and indirect language.

3. A roundabout expression

So who am I; I, pretending to be you, asked? Well, The easiest answer is that my name is Alexx. I just moved from New Jersey, where I have lived since birth, to Oregon. I’m currently living in Beaverton, a suburb of Portland. I’m only here till I can find a job and move to to the city proper. I’ve been known to rock a poem here and there and have one fine tolerance for scotch and boring conversations.
So this blog is meant as a sort of post-travel narrative, a chronical of the after college, after relocation life of one displaced New Jersian. So, I’ll be back with stories, links and general rantings soon enough. For now here are some quotes that mean something or another.
Enjoy.
