The Polish Adventurer.

So I am reading this Atlantic article about Baron Roman Fedorovich von Ungern-Sternberg (who was a White Russian who sort of took over Mongolia in the 1920s) and in it the author Nick Danforth

drops a mention of a Polish guy named Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski who is described as

an “adventurer and reputed fabulist” and I am left sitting here wondering how the fuck I get that on my business card.

I mean, let’s be honest here, I basically am an adventurer and fabulist, but I have really got to turn it up to eleven if I’m going to get other people to describe me that way.

Kink, but just the regular kind.

Hello and welcome to Standard Kink. This is a blog. So already you know I’m that kind of person. Herein you will find a lot of random miscellanea. I’m a writer still struggling to find his audience, so sometimes you’ll find my real writing here, short fiction and whatnot. But you will also find my bitter rants, my hopes, my dreams, and all the things I scream at the TV. I love the world, I really do, but it constantly challenges me to keep on loving it. They say that life is beautiful, but complicated. I agree.
