2019 has been the most rancid of years and I hope to soon forget it ever happened.

As the fog falls soft upon the marsh,
as night snuffs out the light of day,
so shall my queen smite thee down...
in that of the witching hour. ~ Moxlonibus Krypt

I find a peculiar serenity from the decrepit and derelict nuances of an abandoned cemetery. In my youthful years I wandered the globe and had the pleasure of visiting graveyards in Russia, England, and Mexico.

I have an avid appreciation for the works of Edgar Allan Poe, a madness if you will; a true antiquarian. My collection dates back to 1846 when he was still alive. I greatly admire the aroma of an old book apposed to the radiant glow of a Kindle.

My greatest fear in life is not death, but becoming famous. I would be unable to live if smothered in fan fair every waking hour.

By definition I am what some would call agnostic. I have total respect for people of all religions, yet I can take the side of the devil if you want to point a self righteous finger.

People occasionally ask why I have such a dark nature and remain optimistic; I am who I am for the sake of others. I try to go out in my daily life to help others smile throughout their day.

I see people with handicaps and deformities as my heroes, they go through so much more than I and stay stronger for it.

My favorite quote is from Stephen King, "We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones."

AND... that's it for my profile rant, when it come to chess I look forward to a valiant game, no outside assistance and I'll be more than happy to let you lose.
