Machka?
That's the anglicized version of the Serbian word/"term of endearment" meaning "feline." Ironically, I'm a dog person, not a cat person; but the phrase has stuck with me since my return from "exile" to Beograd in 1987.This site is an adjunct to my "other" website, and contains a bunch more esoteric things - things that might make conservatives twitch. Gotta love that kind of stuff.
On that note, I will now point out that there may be things on this site that offend or disturb folks. If you are easily offended by differing viewpoints, and would then feel the need to complain - save yourself and me a lot of grief. Just don't look. It's hard to tolerate intolerance! =) There are many different people on the planet - it's impossible to say who's right and who's wrong about personal matters.

On my Links page, you will find links to my most recent role-playing characters. That doesn't mean I want to hear about yours. =)
Also on the Links page, you can jump to pages about my favorite past-times: reading, listening to music, watching TV, and others of my hobbies.
