Well, as promised, it is now time for us to discuss the purpose of my last few blog posts and to possibly give all of you a bit more of an insight in how to deal with a Dreadlord.
It has been commented that some of my recent blog posts have been "un-Vlad like" and in some ways you're right, in some ways you aren't. The point of these posts has been to explain to you all the history
of Vladisvok Destino, to show you where he came from so that you might better understand where he is now. Over the years a lot of people have known "who" I am, some have even understood "what" I am, nobody
has ever truely understood "why" I am and that is where the problem lies, without knowing why I am the way I am you are in a difficult position when it comes to trying to deal with me.
A wise man once said "I walk among them, but I am not of them", this is a phrase which fits quite well with me, while I may walk among you, I really am not one of you, nor do I have any desire to be one of you.
These last few blogs, detailing my past, have shown you that I have tried to be one of you, to fit into your world and to show how badly I failed. I have tried to walk many paths in life and I always return to
that same one, the path of the Dreadlord, the path that whether by destiny or design I shall always walk.
Many looking at the life I lead may feel it is a sad life, a lonely life, a miserable life, to those I would say "and your point is?" I realise that by the standards of man my life may very well be described as that,
but it is the life that I shall lead, that I must lead, I have no place in your world so I do not seek to partake in it.
I suppose my overall point is that one cannot judge my life by their own standards, as the standards or men mean little to me, I place much less value on some things than your average person does and much more on that
which you value less. So whenever you attempt to judge something I do, or say, ask yourself, are you judging me by your standards, or by mine?
Over the years I have made several attempts to explain to people not only who I am, but why I am, never have I had much success in this area as I suppose the way that I approach the world is not a way which is easy for
many of you to understand, maybe there is a reason for this? Maybe I'm not very good at explaining it, maybe other people aren't very good at understanding it? But either way, maybe this time will be the time...
At least I can say I made some effort, as of next week we will resume our more random thoughts as opposed to the rather specific topic that has been pursued in recent weeks.

Todays QoTD is brought to you by Evanescence:
“Don’t say I’m out of touch
With this rampant chaos - your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape”
I hope you'll come back next time for another edition of..."Vlad's Musings!!!"
