…at least any I can share with any amount of certainty, but mark my words: There will be changes to this here blog very soon.
2009-2010 was a bad, bad couple of years for a lot of things, including me blogging. “I haven’t felt like it” “The FBI thinks I’m evil” and “I really really haven’t felt like it” are the three main reasons for my internet silence. If this bums you out, I apologize. If it makes you happy, then I take back my apology.
I know I said I was going to make the NBA season a story, but that seems ludicrous in the face of my total lack of interest in it. What story? LeBron doesn’t care about Cleveland? Players don’t care about you or me? There will be a lockout next year because (in this terrible economy) the two sides of the NBA coin both are thinking they need more money? I can’t even muster up indignation at the players — this whole thing seems very owner-driven this time.
So, screw that.
I read an enormous amount of totally useless stuff on the internet. You would not believe the stuff I read. Much of it is to reinforce my beliefs, and much of it is to just piss me off. This might seem judgmental, but that’s ok. I forgive you for thinking that.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO, lots of things go through my head that I’d like to share, but don’t seem appropriate for a personal blog. They would seem more appropriate coming out of the internet mouth of one of my alter egos or something.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I’m going to start another blog, where I can explore these things that affect me so.
Epthnation.com will not cease to exist, but rather will become the mouthpiece of Michael Pape, aspiring author and soon-to-be-productive member of the Community of Books in America.
That means some fiction, and some writing commentary, but mostly…silence. I’ll basically shut up until I have something to say. Isn’t that a nice idea? Now, if I write a book and SOMEHOW manage to snooker somebody into publishing it for me, that will be an example of something you could find out here.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, don’t delete this RSS feed just yet…please?
More details on the blog when it’s up and running. It won’t be on the epthnation.com domain. It’ll be somewhere else.
In the meantime, my Twitter feed is living and active and full of “win.” I’m not sure if I’m going to also create a separate Twitter feed for the new blog (seems like a good idea, but also more work then I’m liable to be able to tolerate). Twitter’s nice because it’s condensed and flippant, just like my brain.
