Retro Blogging
// September 20th, 2006 // Uncategorized
Is it ok to use the phrase “that is so post 911″ yet? Or do we have to wait a while? I’m pretty sure it would be perjorative term- but I’m not yet sure if it would refer to cultural icons of the 2001-2005 period (blogging, ipods, evangelicals etc) or to broader social trends; the fear mongering, religious division, totalitarian government and repression of individualism that the next generations will look back at with utmost distain. Either way I look forward to it’s employ.
Going to return to blogging with a vengence- and will move or rebuild this page so it looks a little less, well, post 911. Still figuring out the new focus. Should it be poetic, direct, honest, academic, referential, ironic, comprehensive, crafted or raw? Pictures of me photoshopped infront of various must-see landmarks? Serious social commentary with an erratic use of semi-colons and stresses on humanity? A sprawling, link-heavy inundation laden with whatever it is I happen to be learning about, experiencing or stumbling upon? Or perhaps I shall leverage my position as a Hill staffer to describe the goings-on of the political establishment in Washington, through a mixture of heady political discourse and hushed up sexual reference?
In case we lost touch in my recent evanesce mail me at arthur¿dt?josephson¿at?gmail¿dt?com.
whatever it may be, welcome back.
looking forward to the ‘musings’ – all and sundry.
