| You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !I WAS BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY, 1745, ON THE FRENCH-CARIBBEAN ISLAND OF GUADELOUPE. MY MOTHER, NANON, WAS A YOUNG SENEGALESE SLAVE OF REMARKABLE BEAUTY. MY FATHER, GEORGE DE BOLOGNE SAINT-GEORGE, A DESCENDANT OF THE ANCIENT HOUSE OF BOLOGNE IN ITALY, WAS A WEALTHY SUGAR AND COFFEE PLANTATION OWNER AND A FORMER "GENTLEMAN IN THE KING'S CHAMBER" IN THE COURT OF LOUIS THE XV, KING OF FRANCE.

MUSICALLY HE MAY VERY WELL HAVE BEEN THE "KING OF POP" OF HIS AGE; MILITARILY HE HELPED PREVENT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE EARLY COLLAPSE OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. THE VICISSITUDES OF HIS JOURNEY ARE DRAMATIC: FROM A YOUNG OUTSIDER IN PARIS TO THE DIZZYING HEIGHTS OF SUPERSTARDOM IN PRE-REVOLUTIONARY FRANCE ("THE FAMOUS SAINT GEORGE") TO AN UTTERLY TRAGIC END IN WHICH A MAN WHOSE COMPANY HAD ONCE BEEN FOUGHT OVER BY ROYALTY AND GREAT ARISTOCRATS, DIED ALONE, UNMARRIED AND DESTITUTE. IN HIS LIFETIME SAINT GEORGE WAS AN ELITE MUSKETEER OF THE KING'S HORSE GUARD; A MASTER-SWORDSMAN AND EUROPE'S FENCING CHAMPION; A COMPOSER, VIOLIN IMPRESARIO, AND OPERA DIRECTOR THAT INFLUENCED MOZART; A PLAYBOY; AND A MILITARY HERO IN THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, IRONICALLY ALL IN AN AGE WHEN SLAVERY WAS ENDEMIC AND WHITE SUPERIORITY WAS DOGMA.
