About the General

 

“Generalissimo or Generalissimus is a military rank of the highest degree, superior to a Field Marshal or Grand Admiral.”  (from Wikipedia)  I, being General Lordisimo, kick even Generalissimo ass, so what I say goes, without question.

Some shit about me . . .

I’m a cabon-based bipedal human college graduate with a degree in English who grew up in Vermont but now currently lives in South Carolina.  I don’t really know what it is that I do, I mean I currently work at a library, but besides that I like to lie around, watch movies, read books, drink beer, and write a shit load.  Not a lot better than chilling with my friends on the weekend and considering the possibility of robotic take-over in the future.  I think I was born in 1984 but seeing as I don’t really recall my own birth I can only accept this as a fact because it says so on my birth certificate.

The Mantra: I Like Books, books are good.

If you are really curious about where it all started check out my First Post which really doesn’t have a whole lot to do with anything.
