Welcome Page And Blog!

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.

SnowCrash And The Hyper-Growth Of An Accelerating World

The Cover Art Of Snow Crash depicts Hiro Protagonist, wielding a katana, navigating his way through the multiverse. The world is growing. Computers get smarter, cars, trains, and technology grow more sentient and more powerful. AI is beginning to outgrow creativity. Image AI like Mid journey is already showing steady potential for replacing creative jobs. Through all of this, humanity itself is declining. And this is what Snow Crash is trying to represent through the down-to-earth, gritty description, creativity across a universal spectrum, and a wonderful plethora of concepts explored through a satirical tone of voice. Gone are the past explorations of humanity underneath twisted, evolved, and cold, human nature that grew warped underneath the infinitely growing world and overpopulation. Movies like Soylent Green, Brazil, and Blade Runner. This book is a cyberpunk, dystopian romp through America and a critical examination of what we needed most. Snow Crash is exciting and creative. It...

A piece of cardboard

My lawyer, a poor, cheap man who wore little and knew little, knocked on the door of my run-down apartment with a forlorn expression slicked across his plasticine face. "Are you Mr. Frauk?" He pulled out a card, offered his rubber-gloved hands, but I refused. He offered it again, but I pushed it away and smiled in false respect. "Mr. Frauk?", the lawyer repeated in his ancient German accent. "Frank", I paused, and beckoned him in, "My name is Frank. What is this about?" "Mr... Frauk", his lips curled as he grimaced to pronounce my name," Frauk, Frank, Frauk... Nonetheless, I'm here because of a recent uncle of your kin. If I remember him properly, his name is Drew Trijark." "Trark", I repeated, but in a different accent, mocking him somewhat. "Trark, Trijark, Trark... But what I wanted to talk to you about is his inheritance", my lawyer paused as if in sadness and contemplation, turned away, hiding his ...

A Brief History Of Lichess and Chess.com

Chess spread all over the world in the Ancient Ages, where there was Correspondence Chess played everywhere in an era where communication was rapidly improving, ideas were diffusing and culture was growing. A game between Emperor Nicephorus and the Caliph of Baghdad, Harun al-Rachid was played in the 9th century, and a correspondence chess game was played in 1119 by King Henry the First of England and King Louis VI of France through couriers.

Although Plato Systems were large, bulky bricks that were outdated more th...
