"A bachelor's life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner."
- Francis Bacon
Too true Mr. Bacon, too true.
I, Dan Huh, have decided to take the time to produce, create, curate, become God over...make a blog. Poetry on Facebook could only appease half of my conscious -- the other half would wander off towards the Sun. Now, today, October 29th, 2009, 11:32pm, a sweet 60 degree night, minutes from Halloween-eve, I've decided to take the liberty to express myself over a the world-wide-web, which is more than likely to be viewed by more than my 487 Facebook friends -- a creepy thought indeed -- who some of them will more or less smile at my sarcastic remarks, frown at my depressing moments, or just stare blankly at a virtual screen, all emotions which I welcome with open arms.
Now on to business. There is no obvious reason for me to give birth to a blog, let alone post personal information on the WWW invented by the infamous Al Gore. Do I have anything to gain from typing virtual letters on a virtual screen? Yup. Here is my thesis for my blog: By developing a personal blog, primarily for the stranger's viewing pleasure, I have created an expressive outlet for me to freely paint my abstract soul through the most intimate and creative words given to me in the English language.
So why the quote? Francis Bacon has written some amazing literature during his lifetime, my favorite being The Great Instauration. The new excites the naive, sparking new interests in a bright, Sunny world, instilling confidence in a worried filled society. A shot of adrenaline and euphoria seems to be the cure for all of our problems. Once we become acquainted with our lives, following a content lifestyle, we begin to lose our zest, that once tingly taste at the tip of your tongue; we become use to the happiness we experience during our livelihood. And we die miserably alone? True -- with reservations of course -- I'm not a pessimist. Do we want to be sent to the old people's home or walk with an annoying limp? Nope. There are two mindsets to consider in this interpretation: it is imminent to obtain the effects of aging or to find happiness in the unfortunate circumstances in life. The choice is yours to make, live with your given fate or live free.
There will be updates every two days so stay tune for future posts!
Warm regards,
Dan Huh
