General Lordisimo’s Apocalypse

“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.

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 work at a library (but am not a librarian, which happens to shock some people – not all those who work at libraries are librarians).  I brew beer (and drink an excessive amount of it), hunt for mushrooms, draw pictures, read a bunch of books, and kick around doing any other stuff that seems interesting at the time.  All and all life ain’t half bad.  If you want to feel free to leave a comment, that’s cool, I may reply.

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.
