I regret … I need a barbecue

There are times when I regret saying everything I say. I don’t know why I do it, nor do I believe I’m unique in this way, but sometimes I just can’t say anything nice at all. This bothers me. What bothers me more is that in some cases, my criticisms are limited to one or two people in particular; I may be the biggest sweetheart to everyone else, but for those one or two people, I’m the biggest arsehole.
I need a barbecue. I crave the taste of barbecued food, and I’m not sure I can wait for Spring. Specifically, I need a Fiesta 300 with the side burner. I know it’s not for everyone, but the thought of having such a decadent piece of cookware gets me all weak in the knees (and this specific model is on sale, since it’s off-season). Just imagine it: the warm Spring day has meandered to a cool, dusky Spring evening, and all my friends and I are out on my deck, grilling up some portabella mushroom burgers, and we’re all just chillin’ and drinking beer, while the soothing sounds of ambient techno music wash out from my computer lab. HUZZAH!

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.
