Long-overdue Introduction

Everyone and their mother has a blog these days. They're like celebrity memoirs - only worth reading if the writing gears less towards oneself and more towards the interesting time period in which we live. The trouble is, we do not live in interesting times, not by historical standards by any means. We are selfish, arrogant, and bored. I don't claim to be any different from my contemporaries, but I blame our society's general affluence and modern aversion to world wars. For these posts, please forgive me.
