thought blotter—
i remember when i first read the term ‘blog’ in 2002 and immediately wanted one. i taught myself html, made my own tripod website and 25 years later, i have probably started ~40 blogs, many of which have been washed away in the digital tide. here is ~41.
today, i am a journalist and writer and photo-taker that lives in the southwest. i write about music and drugs mostly. i post a lot of shit online because i read a lot of media and wikipedia articles and posting it helps me retain/process information.
people seem to dig the cascade of bullshit that pours forth from my virtual info stream, so much that they’ve said i’m quote ‘one of the only reasons [they] use facebook.’ blech. i wish i was lying. in an effort to waste my time more proactively and move away from zuckerberg’s ever-encroaching blob of souls, i’m moving to steem. (twitter sux too, but not that bad.)
this could be daily or it could never happen. the thing about making promises to keep up with stuff online is it’s always futile. we’ll see how this goes. in the meantime, you can learn more about me at troyfarah.com, i have a twitter (༼ ಥ﹏لಥ ༽ ᵘgᵍʰ) and i post lots of obscure music on my tumblr.
i’ll start every thought blotter post off with an embedded album i’ve been listening to a lot, there’ll be a wikipedia article of the day and a collection of thoughts and links i find to be interesting. hope you enjoy.
