The Standard Editorial
by a bored nonconformist
Hello people! Welcome! Whoa, you won't believe it but this is the very first issue of Scientific Afghanologist in the new millennium! This has to be celebrated! We want to make this a very special anniversay issue. So we will reveal you a secret, the secret how to write a lot of bullshit without saying anything in reality.
Let me start at the beginning. The world is divided in three parts, Afghanistan, the west and the rest. Actually Afghanistan is the third part of it, the third world. So, what my problem is, you ask? I do not have one, after all I am your teacher, and I will teach you how to say you have a problem without not saying it!
I am a very bright man so I will tell you how to achieve the best things in the world. With this magazine. This magazine is the el dorado, the pearl of wisdom! Wrong quotation but who cares. I cannot reveal my style, it betrays my identity, but you know, I am not yet the president of the e-mag scene, so who cares.
Ah, if you knew that everything around you in this world is fake! If you knew that, you would be richer, richer of information, richer of wisdom, richer of.... hey, this tricolon is unfinished! But my phantasy is so little that I do not know how to finish it. Really, if all you do is write and you do not think and do not go out and do not talk and do not - well what else is there in life? well, nothing...? well, you teach me. - then you will not know what you should write! But I am here, here to write the editorial, to finish this magazine, I, Maestro Monteverdi alias Afghanbashi! So, what should I write! Please, help me *sob*! I am such a helpless man.
What should I do to participate in mankind, to do something nobody has ever done before me and nobody will do after me? Is this possible? It is not! Whee!
We are just materia!
