Preface

     In order to conceal my true identity, I will be brief and vague about my background.  I am an American living abroad on the most prestigious international fellowship offered by the US government and have also just begun working on a PhD.  I am 23 and just graduated cum laude with distinguished honors for both my BS and MS in mechanical engineering from a major research university in a large, east-coast city.  So far the image you should have is of a proper and professional academic.  If you wish to keep that image and were hoping to read about an upstanding American with his nose to the grindstone in an international setting, read no more. I have, thus far, spared you the insidious truth and will do so no further.

     My professional life is just a means to an ends and its landed me in Germany for the next 4 years while I conduct the research that will confer me the title of "doctor." This is a situation with which I could not be happier, and serves as my motivation for creating this blog.  You see, I have just been given a golden ticket to satiate my primal interests and all on the US and German taxpayers' dollar.  For this, I thank each and every one of you for bankrolling my European adventures and misadventures.  At this point, it should be apparent that I am not the uptight or sheltered academic one might be liable to conjecture based on paragraph one.  I have no interest in being professional once I shut down my work station and I have no interest in blogging about my work.  My primary goal is to have a blast and to live with no regrets.  THIS is what I want to share.

     As this blog will be maintained in anonymity,  I should include a brief description of myself so that you may understand about whom you are reading.  Physically, I am muscular and kempt, developed from 13 years of wrestling and 7 years of weight-training.  My scarred face and crooked nose, earned in a street fight, offset my charismatic allure with a little danger and mystery.  The six inch scar across my stomach has a similar effect and I love to use it playfully.  I entertain multiple origins in the name of a good tease.  My favorite is to tell the girl that has just removed my shirt an enigmatic truth...that she should make up her own story, as it is sure to be better than mine.  To capture my attitude, I asked several people to rattle off some adjectives that would paint a picture of myself to someone that has never had the pleasure of forming their own impression.  Before I moved to Germany, I was working as a bouncer.  A few of the girls I was fucking from this particular establishment described me as cocky, brazen, persistent, dominant, a dick, pretty narcissistic, and short-tempered.  Others have described me as obnoxiously intelligent, arrogantly self-absorbed, strong-willed, hard-headed, and even a little scary.  I've been given an NC-17 rating for the great pleasure I take in the corruption and destruction of innocence. After all, the world is not an innocent place and it would be a fool's errand to attempt to shelter and preserve something as ill-fated as chastity and probity. With that said, I am not a monster.  It has simply befit me to show those particular traits for one reason or another at various times.  I am deceptively debonair and frightfully charming.  A direct quote from one woman with whom I was sleeping may paint a better picture than I could.  She described me as "someone who seems to have an attachment and respect for people he cares about and a huge heart. You have passion and determination and a sense of self-worth and confidence that makes other people want to be better and accomplish more things when they are around you."  I can mix any variety of these characteristics to best suit my environment and company.  I have a penchant for reading people and I use it for my benefit.  One might say I am manipulative.  I couldn't deny the accusation but I would urge my accuser to recognize that individualism and ethical egoism are fundamental to human nature, curbed only my societal nurture.  My heart is not cold. It has loved deeply.  BUT...I am young, I am single and I have been given a free ride to enjoy a European adventure and that adventure is what I hope to chronicle within this blog.

     As I have decided to start this blog a bit late, I will soon post a bit more of a lifestyle prelude and follow it up with an interesting experience I have already had with the largest 1%'er motorcycle club in Germany.  After that, I intend to make no effort to post regularly.  My posting will be impromptu and based on my time and whether or not I have anything potentially entertaining to describe.  Enjoy...
