Howdy - A Message From Your Friendly Neighborhood Scallywag

crowdsourcing

Soo.... was trying to write a little introductory something-or-other about myself here, drum up a bit of a back story or what have you, but it was all coming across in a fairly strained, tap dance-y kinda way.

Attempted to employ some of those instant-clout-generating qualities that are baked into the third person voice, but that didn't really manage to work out either; we've got ourselves a head full of cross chatter as is, so these things tend to get shot down due to 'transparency issues' (uhh what? see, I told you: these little insular metadebates will be the death of us).

Figured OK, in order for this to come out comfortably, my best bet would be to actually lay it all out in the FIFTH person, some sort of secret perspective where speaking autobiographically is akin to lighting an extra long fuse while blindfolded, but turns out the only language that can actually incorporate that POV is, like, Algonquin :(

So until I find the time to randomly vanish into the Canadian wilderness on a mystical fluency quest, I'm just gonna have to put any sort of outta-the-gate braggadocio on hold.

Instead I'll just opt to do what I do best: pull a toob and a singy-song that pretty much sum up how we roll these days.
