Pembroke Fall Guy

Off

Ah, well I had my fun driving around Canada. I’ll be sure to get those pictures online sometime soon (if I can find out where the hell I put my laptop). Time for some serious camping now. Going on a white-water canoeing trip up in Pembroke — at least that’s how it was explained to me. For some reason, my mind has problems putting the words “white-water” and “canoeing”:

Main Entry: white water
Function: noun
Date: 1586
: frothy water (as in breakers, rapids, or falls)
– white-water adjective

When I think of canoeing, I’m imagining still waters, and loads of paddling, possibly hiking around with the damn thing on my head. I also think of that awesome “Four-on-the-floor” skit, “Mr. Canoehead”. Heh. Still thinking about it….

What I’m not imagining is “frothy water (as in breakers, rapids, or falls)”. FALLS? What am I Lee Majors?

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
