ixnay ambiguity
Sep 25, 2001
i'm a dilletante. i want to be good at everything. nobody can appreciate an artform
without actually doing it, and i want to appreciate every artform. when i was young the analytical side of
my mind was constantly stimulated. the artistic side was all but neglected.
blame public schools. whatever. i played a lot of nintendo.about a year ago i realized this imbalance and began correcting it. i started writing every day. i took up painting, photography, and web design. i sucked at all three. i love the satisfaction of diving into a subject, flailing about until i can stay afloat, sucking, not sucking, and finally mastering.
i thought i was hot shit at web design until i met natasha. she showed me some exceptional sites that blew the doors off my then current site. so i flailed for a while, and now i'm back on top again. god bless css.
i figured out what made a good weblog too. nobody cares about the schedule of your bowel movements, or where you ate breakfast today. they come to connect. they come to identify and to be identified. they hunger for personality and hard assertions: the hot knife to cut through the butter of ambiguity, political correctness, and polite company.
..and that's what i did on my summer vacation.
hi mom.
