Freedom’s call may lead us in wrong ways

… In fact, if you look at the recent record, the picture is not at all encouraging. The United States has intervened, in one way or another, in Haiti, Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq in recent years, and not one of those nations is a functioning democracy yet. Yes, it’s going to take some time in places like Afghanistan, which just held elections, and Iraq, which is about to hold them. It’s too soon to judge. But the difficulties and complexities of dealing with a different culture and a history that we don’t always understand are daunting. You don’t have to look any further than today’s headlines in Iraq.

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.
