More chaos

Well, the little dog is taking some getting used to. First is the constant peeing in the house, and not outside when she’s supposed to. The second thing is the constant peeing whenever she gets excited, which is whenever anyone visits or comes home after work, or touches her. The third is the barking; barking at me when I come home, barking at the cats, barking at, oh, say … just about anything. The fourth is the constant whining (outright wailing) for attention when it’s not given to her. That includes a caterwauling like my cats have never made at bedtime and in the morning (and at some point in the middle of the night).

(note that the cage is something the dog sleeps in normally. I’m not a cruel person)
My cats, on the other hand, are quite low maintenance, and I love them all the more for it. Sure they whine in the morning, or sit on my chest and purr while I’m trying to sleep, but they’ve never urinated on the floor when I came into the room. They may not be very good at playing catch (actually, Athena plays a great game of catch), but I don’t need to be with them every single moment of the day.

And, to reiterate, my cats do not urinate when they see me.

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.
