"Into the fires of battle, unto the anvil of war!"

I'm a fighter, a heretic, a saint, a warrior, a poet, a bard, a noble, a scholar, a dredge, a slave, a man, a brother, a companion to my puppy, a failure, a maggot, a cocky asshole, the test subject of piercers and tattoo artists, a champion, a roleplayer, a gamer, a geek, a jock, a fencer-in-training, a worker, an American, a punk, a percussionist, a peon, a teacher, a son, a father to a dog, a walking time-bomb, a carbon-based life form... But most of all, I'm a historian and as such it is my job to enlighten the children of the future about our mistakes in the past in a way that leaves them thinking: both good and bad.
