About Me

Perplexio
I'm a perpetually puzzling and persistently pleasant person. My purpose is to propose perplexing points and queries to the predominantly problematic issues concerns and etc. pervading, invading, overtaking our lives via the perpetual posturing of pretentious celebrity types who purport to know better than we pious people how to live our otherwise pleasant lives. Prior to further perplexing you it is an honour and pleasure to make your acquaintance.... And it's also a good thing I don't have any spitting problems or my monitor would be drenched by now.
