Tale of the Destructifier (condensed)
I told myself once upon a time that I would stop making posts like this one. I'm breaking my rule because on this day, June 4, in 1999, I graduated from high school. And my journey to awesomeness began thusly. It's hard to say when I got there. I've shown flashes of sheer brilliance here and there, but when did I begin to sustain that which is awesome?
I could consider the last time I failed miserably. Not the last time I was miserable because I failed, but a failure of proportions so epic that it literally changed everything. This was three years ago (not two- I don't think of that failure as mine). I let what I thought was "real life" get in the way of something extremely important to me. And some very bad things happened because I wasn't in a position to stop them. Realistically, could I have stopped them if I was there? Absolutely.
In the wake of this upheaval, I arose from the ashes as The Destructifier. The time of destructification have since passed, though only because the mortal emenies of my ideal no longer stand. I have survived and outlasted them all. I will endure. I will not fail you again.
