Just another normal day at the office

"...was wandering in traffic, wearing underwear, believes he has a million dollars inside him, claims to be various sports stars and can turn into a gorilla...believes that Michael and Janet Jackson are his parents, that he comes from a gorilla family, he is a multimillionaire, he is going to build a rocket ship and fly to the moon."

Photographic

so this "blog" is going to be...i don't know. an interesting discovery i suppose. I've been thinking about this and can't quite decide how i want this to evolve. do i take a proactive role and mold this into something that has a purpose or a goal? or a more passive route and let it be what it becomes? so far i've just been placing words on a page. whatever comes to my mind. is it a diary? a journal? someplace to vent? do i tell stories or something that people would find exciting or clever. i'm not sure. what about grammar? do i capitalize my Is and cross my Ts? Am I supposed to follow the rules of the english language? see, that should have a capital E.

but this is boring. i'm bored just talking about it.

maybe this'll be more of a discussion of photography. mine and yours. or just mine.

so here is one from a camera phone in 2005

Blog? are you serious?

yeah so here we go. blogging. i don't really get it. nobody else is going to read this anyway. it's just typing on a screen. keeping me plugged in and away from others. or does it bring me closer to you all? and why don't i just get a journal. or a moleskin. practice my penmanship. a leather bound journal with really good paper. the kind that has texture and feeling and vaguely smells of roses. or pine. pine is better. it's more manly. plus i would need a gold tip fountain pen that flows like the word vomit from my brain. that would be better. that would be...pretentious. leather bound. who am i kidding. give me a napkin and i'll draw all over it.

i started this around noon today. got bored i guess and started to do other things. it's now 6 to 5 and i'm going to go drink wine.
see ya.
