online media

i think that before we go farther down this road, you and i gentle reader, that a few things are cleared up, set in order and placed on the shelf right quick.

i was thinking about that very same act while composing a review of 'darkness wakes' a particularly typical entry for what passes as modern 'dark fiction' and realized that often times we have a tendency to blather on about as if we were the only ones with any real ability to discern anything.

the truth of the matter, if you have an ego big enough to pop your words up online you have something of an issue in other areas of your life - guaranteed. perhaps, it's one of those cases where you have found that posting to a blog is a bit like listening to yourself talk.

perhaps, you're a bit like the old fella cliff from 'cheers' who used to go on and on and on and then when he ran out of stuff to talk about well, he'd just make ish up and keep going.

i hope i don't get like that. someone please put the poor souls around me out of their misery and shut me up, if i start going on like that in reality. the nice thing about a blog is that well, you can just move on to the next one can't ya?

------------------------------

point one: i'm a big fan of folks that take risks artistically. there's no joy for those that don't to paraphrase bjork [from the 'bravo artist profile' show]
point two: i'm something of an artistic omnivore - if there is something to be said about a video game, well, i'll waste some time to get down to it and thing about what i like.
point three: the unexamined life is a waste to paraphrase socrates. i think to spend a fair bit navel gazing so you are fair warned my friend
point four: i organize things - odd things - i'm a bit of a collector and a bit of a mad librarian at the same time. i'll put thoreau next to cornel west if i feel like it and give you a right bit reason for doing so.
point five: my goal with this is to actually attempt to put something new out there once and awhile rather than blogging on about what everyone else is doing.
point six: i'm terribly, horribly, madly enamorado con mi prometida
point seven: i lapse into spanish. probably poor spanish because it's not my first language but it's my favourite one that's for sure
point eight: this is getting a bit mad - sort of like a personal dogme manifesto
point nine: if i write something to offend you - tell me, i would want to know. i have a tendency to write either first thing in the morning or last thing before i toddle off to sleep. makes for stressed out writing sometimes
point ten: i take this about as serious as you take it.

'nuff said.
