the manifesto

so i'm sitting here at work, looking over templates for the blog. so far i like what i have, but there are so many others from which to choose!

i've decided to take a break -- maybe permanent -- from my principle site, because i feel like starting fresh.

there's a great scene in "Citizen Kane" in which Charles Foster Kane publishes The Inquirer's "declaration of principles" --his idealistic front-page statement about what the paper will stand for (and won't stand for) ... later in the movie, Leland sends it to Kane, along with a torn-up check that Kane thought could by his loyalty.

my manifesto will be as follows:

1) no capital letters. i'm sorry, but they annoy me.
2) no censored thoughts. i did too much of that on my old site. it's going to be mine and mine alone.
3) so if you want to blame someone for what you read ... you know who to talk to.
4) some creative writing. i don't do enough of that, on my old site and in general.
5) no identities will be revealed. this will be more fun if you stumble on this and don't know who the hell i am.

more later.
