Chapter 0: ello poppet

Welcome.

This blog was conceived as brilliant ploy to showcase the life and the times of me. I'm glad you've come along for the ride. One recommendation before we begin: dress warm. There will be times when the recounted adventures of the far north send shivers to your extremities. Just remember what the old wives used to say: you can always remove a layer if you get too warm. That being said, the negative wind chills do build character.

Our story begins like many others: slowly. It must be so, since this is indeed an adventure; it is a marathon and not a sprint. We have a lot of ground to cover in little time, and the camels of Arabia are unfit for this cold climate. Instead, we'll sit on the backs of giant tortoises as we traverse the life and times. There will be circumstances when you find yourself unable to hang onto the reigns of your turtle due to the giant leaps. I simply ask that you trust me. There is an overarching goal. There is a forest for the trees.

Together, we can accomplish a great deal. We can learn from eachother. If it were not for you, the exploration, the adventures, the very life and the times might cease to be. You will be my trusty sidekick, if not my steed. You will be the robin to my batman; the joker to my Bane. In other words, you complete me.

I hope you enjoy your stay.
