“I AM A SICK MAN…. I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me. I don’t consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine and doctors. Besides, I am extremely superstitious, sufficiently so to respect medicine, anyway (I am well-educated enough not to be superstitious, but I am superstitious). No, I refuse to consult a doctor from spite. That you probably will not understand. Well, I understand it, though. Of course, I can’t explain who it is precisely that I am mortifying in this case by my spite: I am perfectly well aware that I cannot “pay out” the doctors by not consulting them; I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else. But still, if I don’t consult a doctor it is from spite. My liver is bad, well — let it get worse!”

You may recognize this excerpt from Notes From the Underground, if not, then we obviously cannot be a part of the same social circle.  Shoo!  I kid(and yet, not really).

I could just leave the above excerpt as my description, but I fear this is not enough to truly encapsulate what it is to be Jenka Potente.  For that, I leave you to my blog entries.  For in each is a deeper glimpse into the Potente abyss.

No, my real name is not Jenka Potente.  It is short for Jenka Incipio Veritas Potente.  It is a hybrid and a mutation of my real name.  It is also an inspiration.  My real surname can be translated to ‘truth’ or ‘in truth’ and I am on a journey to become it with great potency.
