More than anything else I do, I observe, I watch, I speculate, I read - often to avoid my writing and film making and philosophizing career, or absence thereof - but mostly I seek to inspire myself. I consider myself a man of eclectic tastes, the general scope of which I would be hard pressed to pin down. I like Star Wars Episode One and I like Lawrence of Arabia; I like horror sci-fi and I like Nabokov translations of old Russian epic poems; Kung Fu, B movies, and the poetry of lord Byron. I obsess over things and then get bored and move on to the diametrically opposite thing. Stagnation is my nightmare, but a world filled with so many things that I couldn't possibly come to know them all is equally terrifying. Ultimately what this blog is is a way for me to share all of this, to champion the causes of things I like.
This is not a blog I started for a class or because of a new years resolution, there are no external forces imposing this responsibility upon me. I have no training or knowledge of how to create a successful blog and get more page views. This is a completely genuine and serious, completely directionless and confused endeavor of a person who truly loves this shit.
E-mail me things you like and think I should see, and that you'd like to see on the blog. Hell, e-mail me if you just want to converse about something I've posted, about movies or books or whatever. Join in on the experiment. Let us find out where it goes together. If not I'll just keep on posting things.
