on horizons, and their broadening
8.23.09
perhaps there’s more to life than food and film.
i originally started this blog so that i would keep writing. that being the intended ambition, it may have been unwise to impose such smarmy limitations, or to even suggest that the only two things i actually enjoy are the aforementioned f-words. quite the contrary–there are probably at least four, maybe five other things in the world that make me happy.
what i wanted to avoid was keeping a public diary. there’s something about hyper-personal blogs that’s always struck me as disingenuous–an admittedly arbitrary stigma–and while i have no desire to make my blog a text-only reality show of my life, i find that i’ve gotten little to nothing out of simply judging things.
so a new mission statement for my blog, one as broad as what i believe the purpose of writing is: the fearless, honest formation and articulation of ideas and insights, and wordplay in various forms. there will also be pictures.
