Malcolm is a very generous and kind man. He admires anyone that is cynical about the world, because he knows it can be a cruel place. However, on the other hand, he seems set to enjoy life for what it is. A place where you just don't know what will happen. He's always been determined to get the things he wants, not to an obsessive level but just because he wants to live life the way he sees fit. He doesn't take well to being bossed around or taken advantage of. He especially hates manipulation. His interests include poetry, classic literature, bacon cheeseburgers, horse riding, festivals and generally just going out and exploring new things. He can sometimes be greedy in wanting to travel everywhere and do everything, it can be hard to keep him in one place. As an intellectual though, he will always deal with the current situation without bringing up the past. Life is too short for the past to matter to him. Rock a bye baby on the tree top, When the wind blows the cradle will rock, When the bough breaks the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all. - - - - - - - - - - - - He was born at 9:10am to Jeanne Norris, his father James Johannson was unavailable to be there at his birth. James was lecturing in Canada when he found out that Jeanne had gone into labour. He finished his class and prayed he could travel into the U.S in time to see his first son's birth. However, in such a rush, James made it to the border and was unable to produce his passport card allowing him to go into the U.S. As a result, Malcolm was born without a father there to witness his birth. Malcolm and his family have spent their entire lives in Bellevue, Texas. Never relocating, only perhaps visiting other parts of the U.S for fun. Malcolm has two older brothers from his mother's previous relationship. His brother Craig is in Italy playing regionally on a waterpolo team and his brother Jason is in Pineville, Pennsylvania working at the local tavern. Malcolm remained in his home state after high school and studied health and social care with a minor in classic literature. After graduating he and some guys he met at university formed a band called Go Social. They played a few dozen gigs a year and did get spotted after four years whilst playing at a party. Their first album came out just before Malcolm turned twenty-five but nine months later the group split due to arguments and different ideas about where the band was going. Malcolm tried a solo career for a while but his first single was a flop, so he gave up on music. The following few weeks were tough, as Malcolm prepared to leave Texas for the very first time. He and his band were going to go on tour and see the world, but when the band split up Malcolm still knew he wanted to go somewhere different. He'd also never had a 'real' job at this point, since he'd concentrated since leaving university on his music. He ended up traveling to Manchester in the UK and took up an internship as a research assistant at the bbc. It lasted six months, most of which were spent bicycling around the country on the weekends and working on the weekdays. It was a calm time in Malcolm's life that he looks fondly on. He returned to Texas a few weeks later, surprised to find that his mother had fixed him up with one of her friend's daughters. They scheduled a date for that week, during this time his mother learned from an embarrassed Malcolm that he'd never been on a date before. He'd spent most of his university life studying and never found time for dates. He was so nervous on the date, but eventually he came out of his shell and they had a really great time. It even led to a first kiss. Malcolm can remember his heart beating against his chest, his head screaming to keep his tongue under control and not to mess it up. He really liked it in the end and suspected that his date was looking for more intimate contact. Malcolm personally believed a first date and a first kiss was tremendous success without going further, so he bid her goodnight. After that he got his own place in Witchita Falls and settled down, accepting a job as an office administrator for Witchita Falls College. It's not a job he sees himself doing forever, it's really more to pay the bills. He has no idea what to expect next, whether he would pursue his love of music and once again try to form a band? perhaps take up a teaching post at the college? He has no idea where his life is going, but that's the fun of it.
