I haven't posted in a while; it doesn't matter because no one reads this anyway. I'm thinking of changing the tone of this blog, mainly because I can and mainly because I want my writing to go deeper than it's been going lately. I feel like my mind operates in two realms: one realm is very much shallow and conforms to what is socially expected of me and the other realm is a deeper darker place where I can become more pensive and look at the world in ways that seems to eternally change and evolve. My shallow projections into society can be seen by everyone almost immediately. It is more difficult to share what is going on in my head.
Because of this, I want to challenge myself to publish more of my provocative writing. "Provocative" may be a strong word, but compared to what I have posted before, anything I have to say henceforth will certainly seem like it is from another world. I would not hesitate to suggest that perhaps my tone and writing style will change depending on my subject. My goal here is to explore my style and perhaps find a way of defining it. An educated person can read two passages, let us say one is from "Absalom, Absalom!" and the other is from "The Old Man and the Sea", and identify instantly which is Faulkner and which is Hemingway. Although I idolize them, I know that I am no Hemingway and certainly no Faulkner. I wish to pay respect to their craft in my own way.
This post will be a short one; I want to work on a short piece for tomorrow. I hope it's good. I'm really tired so the quality will be questionable. Maybe soon I will start trying to publicize this blog, although I'm sure everyone I care about has heard enough of my rambling.
