My Mission
Below is an email I sent to various friends of mine announcing the birth of BRAINJOB and its purpose.
Hello friends.
After a few email discussions with Ben, I've decided to take his advice and begin a blog. My ongoing correspondence with him has served as inspiration for involving myself in something like this. We tend to discuss a lot of political and social issues that for the most part tend to outrage me to the point of near cranial implosion. My comments regarding such issues tend to be a touch scathing. I for one am a big fan of venomous ranting and see blogging as a very effective method of sharing my biting critiques with the general public.
However, I don't intend to use my blog solely as a political soapbox, I'm simply incapable of taking myself that seriously. For quite a while I've been contemplating keeping a written journal of random bits of odd, humorous or nonsensical dialog as an exercise designed to keep my literary juices flowing and provide me with a few laughs. Now that my first novel is completed (For those of you who didn't know, yeah that's right, I wrote a book all by myself and it isn't even written in crayon) I seem to be drawn to continue along the path of writing as an artistic vehicle. I'm not fully certain if my current desire to write will be an ongoing one or if my tortured, unfocused, attention deficit disordered mind will eventually crave some other type of stimulation such as finger painting or Civil War reenactment. Whatever happens, I'll give this blogging thing a try at least for a little while.
I have just completed my first blog entry and invite you all to view it. I have named my blog, BRAINJOB : A Literary Exercise Dedicated To Random Acts Of Mental Masturbation. My first entry includes my thoughts on the death of Hunter S. Thompson. I've filled out a profile that will give you a little insight as to what my book is about too. For further details, feel free to email me or just ask Ben or Judy who have read my manuscript and have given me a wealth of feedback. In the meantime, you can visit my blog at:
