Relationship breakdown

Internet connection is being flakey again. I’m not very satisfied with my current provider, though I’m not sure where the problem lies. The Tech Support is seriously lacking, so there’s problem number one.
Today I witnessed yet another relationship breakdown. It was a good friend, and it nearly broke my heart to see her in that state. When CP and I broke up, I felt alone, as if I was the only one in the world being hurt. The feeling didn’t last for long though, as I watched a veritable maelstrom of marital breakups and communication breakdowns, and breaking hearts, and relationships being severed.
It’s as if jobs and personal relationships are vying for the instability trophy. Like two fatigued marathon runners, they are stumbling towards the finish line in a desperate attempt to be the most fragile and cumbersome. The first to break the ribbon will fall to the asphalt and shatter into innumerable pieces.

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.
