WHO (OR WHAT...) THE HELL ARE THE VIRTUAL MADMEN...
...you have been
asking yourself? Well the answer to this is quite simple indeed.
Let’s start with a brief synopsis as to where the idea for
these pages originated. Many, many moons ago…just kidding
folks… actually it was back in March when the idea first
came up…believe it or not it really started out as a joke!
We must warn you that all Virtual Madmen believe humor to be an
integral part of our lives. David first brought this up by
telling us that he was rounding up all of the virtual madmen that
existed on the Internet. Naturally, we all thought that this was
quite funny back then and totally agreed with him. Later on we
started to discuss this more seriously and bounced the idea
around for a while of creating a web site for people like
us…people that are really “insane”. We decided
that maybe it was not such a bad idea and as you can
see…here we are!
Why did we decide to keep the name “Virtual Madmen”?
Well “virtual” refers to the cyberspace media we are
using to express and communicate our ideas to humanity. It is our
infinite playground, where we are completely free to tell it like
it is…or how it should be anyway! Why “madmen”,
well that one is a little bit tougher. Are we really mad or
insane in the literal sense of the word? Perhaps…some people
will have us believe so. They will say that we are truly mad or
completely insane simply because of what we hope to accomplish
here. They will have us believe that what we are asking for is
the impossible…that we are just “simply
dreaming”…to tell you the truth, we really like that
very much! How can we ever let a challenge like that go by
unanswered… So beware all of you hypocrites and
self-righteous puritans…we have come to give testimony to
our dreams of the impossible!!!
Having gotten that out of the way, we wish to welcome you brother
and fellow traveler of infinite space!!! Our space station in the
virtual world is now almost fully operational. We are very
pleased that you have found our little watering hole in the
middle of the universe and hope it is to your liking. Your
journey, cybernaut, has undoubtedly been a long and arduous one,
so come inside and rest for a while whenever you please and for
as long as you like. Our small rest area is open 24 hours a day
to service your needs, and is completely devoid of walls and
boundaries. Here you will find peace, love, compassion, and the
friendship of other cybernauts who await you with open hearts and
open arms. Our nourishment will be the substance of those dreams
that continuously take us to the edge of madness…to the
corners of the universe…to those places in space where only
tolerance, respect for others, tenderness, springtime, the
star’s caresses, and the splendor of the moon
exist…here you will find all of these things and much more
that will always be under infinite construction.
Our mission is quite clear…our destination has already been
programmed into our navigation controls…we will only need to
pick up some other travelers lost in that intergalactic space of
narrow-mindedness, and we will get under way at the speed of
light…so fasten your seat belts!!! Our destination lies in
the center of that black hole in the universe that consumes all
in its path, where hate, hypocrisy, intolerance, prejudice and
all that is dark in our existence is born, lives and reproduces.
There is no need to fear or display uncertainty, our weapons are
lethal against these enemies, our journey will be long and
torturous at times, but our triumph is also just as
inevitable…
We will let you rest for now weary traveler…may your dreams
overflow with the splendors of a multi-colored rainbow. When you
wake up we will be here waiting to share in the adventures and
tribulations of your travels through the universe…
