shifting

I didn’t originally plan to talk about my personal life here, but what the hell. I figure if anyone is smart enough to figure out who I am, then I trust them. Maybe that’s illogical but it’s going to be my operational paradigm for now.

Anyhow, I am feeling like real butterflies, and part of my growth this time is to separate distinguish between butterflies and deeper feelings. It’s hard sometimes given my intuition and ability to really connect with people almost instantaneously.

variations on a theme

I had to change my blog theme. Unfortunately, the author of my previous theme (the original white three-column DePo Masthead) messed up the archiving.

When you go to my archive you will see the ten most recent posts with the option to see “previous posts” at the end of the archive page.

In the DePo theme, they forgot the previous posts button which meant you could only read back 10 posts unless you knew the specific URL of the other posts, which is really tedious.

If they fix the theme I will be going back to it because I really enjoyed it. But for now, a simple brown theme will do.

fitter, happier

I’m not a Radiohead guru. Or even a dedicated fan. But in searching for my own anthem (this blog was originally going to be named “A Natural Anthem” after a Postal Service Song) I remembered the Radiohead song ‘fitter, happier’ from quite a few years ago. The youtube video sold me.

In this new year, I find the song particularly applicable to not only my life, but life of a post-modern American human-is. A human-being is an active player that is all at once defining itself, its world, and is impossible to define. But this song and my ideas are both a nod to the trifling minutiae that life has become and/or has always been.

Therefore, the most concise way I can describe what I am doing is amateur critical theory.

Here’s the music video.

sufficiency

Suffice it to say, I need (want) a written outlet.

Books, Movies, Politics, “My life”, etc.

There are few essential points I must note outright. Thus, herein they lie (or is it lay?): I’m an erratic writer at best, and being a somnambulist, I work while most others slumber. I attempt to use tags to better organize my unbridled commentary though I imagine that I will have quite a difficult time doing this. I am also lazy, flighty, and unfocused. The little text-boxy in this template displays my name at the top of the page Edit: I have now figured out how to change it. It will change, a lot.

Any questions should prompt you to consult the about section. If you don’t thoroughly understand, comment or e-mail or something.
