Whether or not you like what you see...

I have added this blog because I needed a space to vent about those elements of life in general and modern life in particular which disturb me the most. My other Blog, Human 2.0, is meant as a place for the joyful. Darker discussions, then, will be relegated to this space and linked to that blog as needed.

We all have dark places in our hearts, things which terrify or elate or do both. Please feel free to share your comments. But realize; this is not meant to be a political blog, a complaint against humanity, or merely a place to bitch. I love feedback, I love sharing and hearing back from readers. My writing, however, is who I am; it reflects all of me, the dark and the light, the pure and the thoroughly rotten. If you don't like what you read here, turn away. Your opinions are welcome but will not change who I am.

Stumbling on greatness


I love Stumbleupon... If you haven't used it, it works like this; you download a toolbar, and then you choose what subjects or areas you are most interested in. For instance, I chose, art, environment, sustainable living, writing and grammar amongst others. Today, I hit my "stumble" button and it took me to a page full of incredible sketches by an artist I'd never heard of. I sat and stared at his drawings for nearly an hour. (His name is Wesley Burt, by the way, and I have a new artistic hero).

I am very much of the opinion that you should strive to learn something new every day. Discovery is primary to learning and discovering what is on the web, out of the hundreds of thousands (or millions, or billions) of documents, pages, blogs, archives, videos, and bullshittery that is out there is one great way to do that.
