So I have to admit being absolutely torn with what direction my blog was going to take. I initially wanted to create an absolutely trashy, sensationalist hub for the failures in the human condition. Yeah I could get a lot of traffic and a lot of attention, but I had to calculate the number of friends I would lose, people I would alienate, wierdos I would attract, and of course the very high risk of being canned.
So I was advised to take the high road…… Great.
This leaves a dilemma. Any one who has ever been in contact with me is quite aware that my sense of human is generally in the toilet. Sure there are some redeeming moments, but frankly that is hard work. I like to be witty, and thought provoking, sure, but there is a great value in comic relief. You know, keeping it light.
So I have to provide something that is witty, prescient, and in good taste. Hmm.
I am an artist to the core. ….And I work in digital. On both fronts my greatest concern is content that is relevant, timely, and engaging. And as we say in the biz, “has a long tail of engagement.” There has to be something that people identify with, something that is of real utility.
Please enjoy this. I think it is a perfect mid point between caca pee pee and an extremely good use of digital media.
glad you’re writing about what you care about as as opposed to what you couldn’t give a shit about. it’s more connected to your work.
