Revenge not so Sweet

On our humble little planet, a long time ago, medieval thinkers whiled away entire lifetimes in earnest debate over how many angels could fit on the head of a pin. So much more enlightened, we ponder Star Wars. And ponder and ponder. Twenty-eight years of scrutiny and counting, a generational span devoted to grappling with that overwhelming question of our age: Did Star Wars spark the birth of cinema, or spell its death?
Sides have been chosen, volumes have been written, blood has been spilled, but the only certainty is that the pop force is still with us. To that, with the release of Episode III Revenge of the Sith, we can now add the near-certainty that the saga is complete. Translation: The greatest story ever has finally been told. Or, if you prefer, the damn thing has come to its merciful end.

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.
