Welcome To My Blog! (Or, the Welcome Page running on a cheap 2006 Modem)



Here are all the different, cheap intros I've made over the years and am copying over to my blog:


My thoughts on writing:
Writing is the greatest, occasionally, I mostly like Classics, not just the ones with some interesting characters, maybe heavy philosophical implications sometimes, or maybe the soft, and interesting ideas... But perhaps the heavy beauty, the imagery, the complex plot, and all-around exciting content.


I think Wattpad is one of the most challenging websites to even gain a hint of notoriety or even attention from. You can build 168 followers over 2 years, yet never even earn a single ounce of views from an actual reader, except for someone begging for likes on their own content.


Absurdity is the medicine to live, or the medicine to all horrible stories... Make the story absurdly unrealistic, sprinkle in some character development, add some zany, craziness, and you get a story. Oftentimes, it comes out great, like a shitty formula, it always works.




My thoughts on books:
H.P. Lovecraft, Mieville, Melville, The Last Man, Philosophy, Grecian Books, The Odyssey, The Illiad, Dunsany, A Brave New World, 1984, Animal Farm, Dante Alighieri, Scaramouche, Borges, Chekhov, and more. These books I consider as good, fine, eh, and great. Books are not praised highly above all, they are another form of media, telling a story, but giving a message of high importance, depending on the quality. 

I feel horribly toward every book that contains the same tropes, same themes, and same things. I like classics, although not all of them, but books that are influential to the thought-processes of the West and East, albeit I have my focus on the West in the current moment. I have tendencies to like Western critics like Bloom and Northrop Fry, but I also like the olden critics of Nietzche, Samuel Johnson, Kant, Borges, Aquinas, and more. 

But, I lie more in a historical spectrum of the olden ages, sometimes renaissance, sometimes naturalists, sometimes Romantics, or Keat and Auden and Eliot and more. Pulp is interesting, a certain nostalgia, I feel toward it, and as with Graphic Novels and Comedy. I like Modern culture, modern dystopias, modernity, postmodernism(sometimes), and much more.

5 Great, Subtle, Chess Sacrifices, Moves, And Ideas

By
 \   As Gata Kamsky said, 'I'm a famous f******legend, and some prick is flagging me!'. Some famous life advice. Chess is a game of extremely weird and interesting proportions, semi-positional, pattern-filled, and with weird, interesting, and beautiful things, like sacrifices... Ideas that appear nonsensical on the outside, but filled with a secret brilliancy. Through five games, here are some interesting, odd, sacrifices and moves that I've found online.  5 McDonnell vs Bourdannais(0-1) https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/pgn/zrVDM1Ldc One of the more interesting chess games from the 18th century showed the power of pawns, showing a mobile block of connect-three, and with the final position being a mate in 2-3. Arising from the Open Sicilian, one of the earliest master games to employ the defense, the three pawns ran down the board after the f-pawn pushed down the board.  f5 itself is a blunder, but fxe4, the 23rd move in the game is a powerful, brilliant move, as B...

The Legacy Of Seven Samurai

By
  Originally made in 1954, Seven Samurai has had a profound impact on Cinema. With its complex, and great narrative, rich and deep characters, and drama with more adrenaline-filled action.  But from this, newer films have been birthed following in the lineage of Seven Samurai. Like Mad Max: Fury Road, Star Wars, Avengers, Ocean's Eleven, and more, through things like using rain to set a dark, murky, uncomfortable, dirty setting. It has also influenced directors like George Lucas(who based his Star Wars on The Hidden Fortress, another Kurosawa Film) and Quentin Tarantino. Through setting familiar tropes and visual innovations, Seven Samurai has truly set its legacy far above other films in Cinematic History.
