So It Begins...

So I've started a blog. Woot.

Is this completely excessive? Of course it is.

But why the fuck not? Is it because "everyone else is doing it?"

Well, yeah, it is.

& I think it's beautiful, you know that. Completely excessive, this need to be posting, blogging, facebooking, twittering and so forth.

But why resist things like this? God damn its fun being excessive, isn't it?
Freaking out over the salt shaker, and such. And I think it's necessary.


And besides, these things, these...internet things, they're moving and growing and are taking speed with the culture. Be apart of culture, ya know? Shape culture! But don't resist it. No good comes from resisting. You'll get lost, forgotten and left to the dogs, I feel.

You're in this life and you're in this world, by god make the most of it. participate.

& plus Twitter is fun, and facebook is total instanity. But its marvelous really, to be so connected to everyone like that. I feel like twitter and facebook statuses are momentary memoirs. You know there's the possibiliy for compressed poetry, for insight; jolts, shots of feelings, ideas, musing at that moment, in 60 characters or less. We are so obsessed with coming up with clever little packages of thought. It's phenominal, fascinating. it's insanity. it's beautiful. it's the now.

Maybe I'm creaming over all of this because it all feels like such fun toys for a writer. But no,

Everyone's doing it. And that intrigues me. Many of us are so drawn to speak our mind, post our pictures, read profiles, blog, you know, Share. Learn. Reach out. Show Off. I think it's delcious.

Until it gets unattractive. And there's so much about this sort of thing that fails. Fails on an epic scale. Those poor things that...ya know...just don't get it.

But there's good and bad in everything, I suppose!

But I'm just here, MoHawkins, with a blog set up to facililate my perpetual exploration. My ideas. My findings.

This is less a journal entry. This is not a "HEYYY lemme tell ya'll about last night, giirll that boy was crazy an shiii, damn." No, no.

That's that unattractive shit I was talking about.

This blog is kinda like my log book. Don't expect an entry everyday, but every so often. On my exploring, on my findings. On my questions. On things that inspire me. On the places I'm at, or going to. Crazy times, jokes, quotes, experiences. Maybe a pic here and there. 2010 proves to be a very wild year, with plans to travel through Europe and Asia. And I know I want to use this blog as a portal to log and share my experiences.

I can't say much more specifically about how or what this blog will shape into, because I'm not quite sure yet. But I've come to realize that my life is such a fucking show. like...the SHIT that happens, my god. (All of our lives are, if you haven't figured it out yet.)

Thanks for reading and participating, until next time:
