I know I am not yet there, but I feel I am on my way. My life has been filled with love and hate, pain and pleasure. "The Introduction of Mau Fatt the Rotgut" is a journey down the dark path of purification by pain. When I use the term "god" it refers to the conceptualization man has created. I believe in nothing as a whole, yet everything omnipresent and all encompassing, positive and negative energy that surrounds us all every moment we exist. I need not give these forces a name, for they live within me and course through my veins. I can feel the life force that has been given to me and with it a responsibility to open my soul to the universe. I am often asked "what does Etare Neged mean?" The name is an anagram of degenerate. I am the light and dark forces of a superhuman degenerate attempting to turn his life around, thus the word is spelled backwards and cut in half where Etare ends the Neged-tive begins. Your words have inspired me and I look forward to continued communication with you as I wonder this road we call life. For this, I give thanks.
