Original, Un-edited Intro for ALJ Episode 1

Hello All,

It's been a while. I've been holed up trying to come up with an intro to put at the beginning of "A Long Journey," and after 8 months, I have finally found the perfect one. The one in this blog is the draft before it. I was really proud of it, and it really explains a lot of my humor and reveals my personal experiences... but it's more than 1,000 words. I had to cut. Therefore, I'm putting it in this blog for posterity. I did not edit it in the slightest, so there could be errors out the door, but like I said, I'm not even using this intro. Why put in the time to polish it?

Let me save you the time and energy: just walk away. I guaruntee you will not enjoy this game.
