0001: The Start

As I started writing this I am pushing through some massive writer’s block, not because I can’t write. But maybe just because I don’t want to, or I don’t really see a point in it. Even though it has been proven to me that it works (the whole strengthen your resume with a blog thing). I also don’t see the point in writing about this stuff for myself. In my mind I have already gone through these experiences, why relive them? (I try to live in the present as much as possible, more on that later). And already I find myself falling into using “classic” blog post and writing terms and phases that I would never say in normal conversation (EX: “more on that later” which I just used). One thing i will say and it will hold true for all of my future posts as well everything written in these posts will be stream of consciousness, I will not be coming back and editing or whatnot. I will however follow whatever spellcheck tells me to do because I can’t spell worth a damn sometimes and my fingers hit the wrong keys randomly. Back to what I was talking about before.

I DON’T LIKE WRITING:

Why? Because I hate one sided conversations. I like flow. Not static. I would much rather work on an ongoing conversation that we can both learn from rather than just typing a bunch of letters in a specific order that happen to trail my actual thoughts to some degree. I don’t see how writing this helps me (that got randomly bolded, but I like it. It’s staying in). Yeah, it might help someone get a better understanding of who I am or how I think (on paper at least…. Or pixels…). But I really don’t like that you can not see my body language as you read this, or how long I pause in between thoughts. Typing. Which sentences are written exactly after one another while some… take… longer.. To write. Or even when I go back over and go through my spell check errors. All of that is lost entirely. So all you have is some meatbags we call digits raming themselves into little plastic things. That could very well not be in the normal QWERTY setup (there are much better ones…. I don’t use them (Dvorak etc.)). Turning into 1 and 0s, sent through a cable, turned into different ones and zeros (switching from numbers to number words. fun) and then sent through a bunch of little tiny logic gates. And a bunch of other bullshit (more cables, a bunch more computers, your screen) and now. You are reading it not even thinking about the entire process…….. Well now you are since I told you. but before that, no way every time you type something or read something it comes up in your mind the amazingly immense complexity (could take out two of those words) behind what is needed for you to just live your normal life. 

Okay i’m starting to see why this is fun. But for now i think it’s because I tangented to a place where no one would have guessed. Did you enjoy the ride? If so. Slap your email down and get a random dose of random (yep) whenever I post. Or you can do the thing that everyone thinks they are going to do “remember” to check this page every once and a while because you hate actually giving your email away to some random asshole on the internet that is highly tangential and has only posted one …post. I believe in you and your email. Well. this is the first post. I’m kinda bored of writing now so this is all you get. I might post a random photo that I’ve taken as well for these. Who knows.

For the future:

Photography stuff

Climbing stuff

Startup ideas

Game ideas

Reading of books

Conversations with friends

A new random philosophy I just came up with (“more on that later” in the first paragraph will be in this) (hey i didn’t say how much later…)

Sourdough bread making

Anything else i decide to blab about.

GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL. GIVE IT TO ME
