Finally on my way back home

Off

Finally on my way back home. I feel strangely like I didn’t accomplish anything I set out to do on this trip: I wanted to call my friends, but didn’t; I wanted to do some swimming in the ocean, but couldn’t; I wanted to have someone there with me, but was unable; I wanted to relax in a chez-lounge in some sunny resort bar, but was trapped most of the time with my parents.
My brother and his girlfriend offered some, but not much relief from the stress caused by my mother. They had their own plans and their own loyalties, and, understandably, wanted to be alone sometimes.
So how would I rate this trip? All in all, I’m not much more relaxed than when I left, and I have the added headache of getting home, making sure everything is still in its place, dealing with the cats, etc… I’ll need to take a "real" vacation sometime in the near future.

Glad to be leaving. Sure it’s nice and kind of warm, but all we did was eat, go shopping and watch TV.

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.
