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.
