Parental damper

Off

Wanted to go cycling today, but had to stick around and wait for my parents to come over. They just got back from FLA with more socks (you’d think I ate the darn things) and grapefruit. They were a little sore I opted out of visiting my aunt and uncle on their grandchild’s X-ening today. I’m not much into religious ceremonies, be they weddings, or funerals, or whatever. A baptism has much less meaning to me than either a wedding or a funeral.

Figure I’ll tidy up the house a bit before they stop by. It’s a bit of a lost cause, though, since I’ve got boxes everywhere. I imagine by the final days, it’ll be kinda like camping.

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.
