Sorry, no self-indulgent description of who I am here. I prefer to let people connect dots for themselves and there's more than enough stuff in this Tumblr blog (and stuff this blog links to) for you to come up with some conclusions for your damn self.

"Bleh! You people make me sick! You sound like lines from a self-help book! If that's how it's going to be... I'll snuff them all out! Every last one of your sickening, happy little reasons for living!"

"As my duty as an immortal, I've prepared a brand-new world view for mankind. When I temporarily linked with U-DO, I climbed the ladder of evolution, and saw the leaning tower of culture that humans have struggled to construct. It's not even a tower, really, it's a scaffold of rotting wood, built with meager knowledge and pitiful tools. But a nice guy would tell them the truth, would he not? Hello! You've got it all wrong!"

"A pathetic one who has always fled from reality. He never did one thing against me when I controlled him. A coward, who refuses to live! He should've been erased. Yet, he continues to exist! Why won't he disappear? Damn it!...it makes my skin crawl just being in the same body as him."

Members of news aggregation website Reddit have donated over $40 000 to a Kenyan orphanage following an appeal.
A user by the name of ‘TheLake’ appealed to the community on behalf of the Faraja Orphanage, aiming to reach $2000 to build a wall around the premises. This follows an attack on one of the caregivers by three intruders in which he was hacked in the face by a machete.

The user relayed the full story to Reddit: “After two previous invasions during the week, [caregiver] Omari was relatively certain another would occur. He woke up to the sound of footsteps outside his door, he figured it was his mother taking a few of the boys outside to go to the bathroom.”
“He quickly realised that the footsteps were heavy, and that of more than one person; he then saw a flashlight shine beneath the crack of his door. Being the third time this happened that week, he had already stashed a hammer beside his bed. He grabbed it, and threw it at the first person who entered his room. He hit the person square in the head, and chased the rest out.
The next night, the three attackers returned and the last thing Omari remembered was being struck in the face by a machete.
Reddit users responded generously, hitting $9000, then $11 000 at first.
But the donations have continued to pour in, reaching $50 000 as of 10.20am.
Web-hosting service Weebly has also stepped up, reportedly donating $10 000 and upgrading the orphanage’s website to a Pro account for three years.
