Hello world...

Hello world. My name is Wilhelm (some of you may know me as Rumpels********, but "shh" about that. How can anyone not deem to know my name in order to guess it if everyone is shouting it in the streets and from rooftops? Or, in crazy 21st century terms, "blogging" it?). You may be wondering how a man that is living in the 1800's is writing a blog, but really, does that even matter? I have a blog. Deal with it. I plan on creating a self portrait that will be added to my banner. The image that is there now is just a placeholder. Some folk think I am not a handsome man, but what do they know... I think my blog warrants more than that teeny tiny image of me in which the miller's daughter's form is featured more prominently than my own. The story is called Rumpels******** after all, not The Miller's Daughter. It's not that I don't like the miller's daughter, she is sweet and polite and kind, but please give credit where credit is due. If one's name is in the title, or is in fact, the title, one should be featured in the photo, not just as an afterthought peeking through the door. Forgive me. I am not always this bold. I am just a humble man, but even humble men can hope for a bit of attention now and then. There's no harm in that. I do have to add that I am so glad that I do live in the 19th century and get to spend some time getting fresh air and exercise rather than sitting in front of a computer all day.
