Early morning – 1842

Off

Got woken up by a 6:30 page this morning. It was just an alert, but it pretty much kicked my out of my dream like a football player kicks a computer nerd. I was having the weirdest dream too — James Cagney and Edward G Robinson were dressed up in gangster suits and we were all playing board games in someone’s rec room. The weird dreams are the worst to wake up from … but it’s often a relief to get out of them. Anyway, R couldn’t get back to sleep, so we got up about an hour before we needed to, and I had a little spare time before work.
So, I’m enjoying an 1842 double espresso and typing away at the little netbook pro from work (the space bar seems to begoing on this unit). Just finished up a workout at Popeye’s Gym and I’m still all warmed up from it. Plus they’ve got the heat on pretty high in here, so it’s a might uncomfortable for me. Too bad it’s still so bloody cold outside (the loud radio people from Popeye’s say it’s going down to -18 tonight). I was hoping that by mid-March, it would be a little warmer. Well, I was hoping I’d win the lottery too, but I suppose that’s not going to happen either…

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.
