A further introduction

I have been informed by some of the more ignorant monkeys on my staff that many of you may not remember me from my previous work, and in fact may never have even seen it. I find this very difficult to believe of anyone who has been alive and conscious in the last 20 years, but one has to humor ones underlings, lest they become unhappy and unproductive. So for those trolls, mole rats or other cave dwelling peoples who may not know who I am, my name is Claude Rohimer, and I was the genius behind a series of films made in the great West Estes studio of Rohimer and Bubola. It was there in the summer of 1990 that we put the Chicago neighborhood Rogers Park on the map for the first time. Our series of films looked at life in the city as no other ever had, or ever would again. From sadness, rejection, suicide, drunken revelry, conflict and loss, we crammed our films full of the life and vitality of a real metropolitan neighborhood. Sadly, our artistic differences became too much and we ended our association by burning the studio to the ground and punching each other repeatedly in the neck. Look it up if you like, I don't intend to dwell on my past work anymore. To the future! My new work will overshadow the old ten fold and make it look as manure to a suburban housewife.

Today I live in the grand metropolis of Elgin, and I am married to this woman here:
I am also in hopes that this medium will encourage her to spill her creative juices out onto the internet as well, as she is an even greater literary genius than even I myself am. I may even convince her to publish our shared journal of our early courtship and our world wide chase in which I attempted to swipe her Jewel card. We shall see.

I feel better now.

Some of you may remember my previous work from the last decade. I was at one time widely known and celebrated as both artist and filmmaker. Sadly, as many of us know all too well, fame can be fleeting. If you are interested in my early work, it was excavated by a piratical criminal and posted here: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=HecubusRex
Since breaking with Francisco Bubola (whom I have since reconciled with after a prolonged and bloody war), I removed myself from the public eye and have remained anonymously quiet. But with the advent of a new millennium and the passing of a few years I think the time has come to regain the crown and once again take my place as ruler of the known universe.
I intend this tome to be a chronicle of my life and rise to power that future generations will venerate as a window into my genius. Someday you will sit your soggy grandchildren on your knee and tell them that you were here on the day of the new dawn. I congratulate you.

Woah wait, what just happened?

Where am I? Why are these walls glowing? And they are so clean. Very sharp.
