Hello World
After almost 10 years of existence, I finally decided to turn this site into a blog.
My Declaration of Principles
- I will provide the people of this interwebz with a sporadic blog that will tell some of the news somewhat honestly.
- I will also provide them with a loving and lethargic champion of their rights as citizens and as human beings.
- I will also provide lolcats.
Signed,
