Wedding over – Found internet

June 1, 2004 D. H. McKee

Off

Sitting here in Coloundra, Queensland, in a tourist store that luckily has internet access. I was going to try to get online at the mall in Maroochydore, but the kiosks weren’t working. So it was either sit in the photo-sticker booth and get some stickers made, or continue shopping for these mysterious Blundstone boots. Apparently they’re much cheaper (and more accessible) in Australia, but I remain skeptical. The one store I found them at in Sydney had them prohibitively expensive compared to Toronto. So I’ll wait until I get home before splurging… and I’m not even sure I want a pair of these miracle boots either.

Anyhoo, the wedding went off without too many hitches, and I even got credited for a couple of good toasts at the reception — my idea was that if anyone wanted to make a toast, or go on about the bride and groom, they had to do it in haiku form. That actually kept the toasts to a minimum. Here was mine:

Steve and Michelle
What a couple of cute kids
Marriage bliss starts now

Going to head back to Brisbane tomorrow, then catch a flight back to Sydney, then back home (eventually). I’m really beginning to look like my passport, so it’s time to come home….

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.
