Добро пожаловать в Стране Чудес!

Welcome to Wonderland!

Or, to use the more literal translation, which I prefer, The Country of Miracles!

Because of the miracle of the internet, I'm able to keep a regularly updated personal periodical with no real motive, topic, meaningful knowledge base, or distinctive subject matter.

And you just stepped right in it and now it's all over your nice clean shoes.

(oh, and don't be fooled by the Russian title, I am American and speak only very little of that wonderful tongue.)

My purpose here is purely the propogation of information. It was once believed that species existed solely for the purpose of propogating their genes, but with the advent of humanity's divinely imparted conciousness, it has become clear that propogation of individual thoughts and ideas is a more meaningful and satisfying enterprise for the individual, especially since it doesn't involve any tedious mucking about trying to get the opposite gender into your bed.

So, to expand the metaphor a bit, the internet is the conjugal bed of the 21st century, which is of course what everyone already knew. Or, to put it in simpler language, even during the 20% of your time in which you look at internet content that isn't pornographic, you're still looking at pornography. Which brings us to something else that everyone already knew, namely that everyone on earth, especially you, that's right, you, is a huge pervert.

I have quite a few interests here, so you can be sure that any two consequtive posts, assuming I actually publish more than two consequtive posts, will be on entirely different topics. If I choose to tell you about my life, friends, brothers, and comrades, you'll just have to listen to it. And if I rant about politics, you'll be stuck hearing about that, too. God help you if I post anything about my various hobbies.

Oh, and by the way... Secundum est orbi eorum exemplum.

I look forward to a productive and interesting time here, as well as some fun with the various contributors to Paddywop.

Incidentally, there's a hose out back if you want to clean your shoes off.
