I'm not sure when I came up with the idea of this blog. I'll tell you about it, at least, what I can remember. Lately, I've been digging around the world of podcasts and, more specifically, I've been listening to essentially "factual" podcasts: stuff about the fall of Rome , or a happily odd podcast about storytelling and folklore . There's podcasts about "interesting" unsolved murders . And of course, organizations like the BBC have a slew of podcasts and audio documentaries about current events, that you can find here . I'm never pleased for very long with podcasts: my longest torrid affair with a podcast was maybe two years, when I first found the Your Mom's House podcast. I got to thinking about how I choose to create and play the sorts of music that I personally enjoy. I pointed out to a friend once the the music that I find most difficult to play, like with my hands, is very frequently the music I create myself. I told the friend
Welcome to my blog! This blog is one in a series of three. This post is essentially a form letter, and is cross-posted to the other two blogs in the series. One blog is called “ A Dystopian Satire ,” which is my blog where I will ramble aimlessly about history and fact check as little as possible about that history. The idea is to write, off the cuff, about whatever is interesting to me. It'll be inaccurate (but as accurate as I can be), uncouth (but as couth as possible), and hopefully interesting (and as funny as possible). The next blog is called “ The Ocean Is Made Of Hot Lava, ” and will be dedicated to a more general, journal-style blog, what's been happening with me in the here and now. In other words, the boring one. This would be the one where your average blogger would put in the description “thoughts, musings, ramblings.” The last of the three is called “ Thanks A Lot Way To Go, ” and will be dedicated to my short stories, vignettes, random ideas, and essays etc t
