I’ve had so much stuff to blog about recently that it’s almost unbearable to have to withhold it from you (you being the me of the future who will one day read these entries). And withhold it I shall, and not because of any secretive, or carefully contrived, pre-emptive of some event type of withhold, but the most basic of a writer’s refusals to empart* some nugget of information. Namely, I can’t be arsed to type it out. Woo, take that future me.
If I withhold something from the Internet, has it really happened?
Errr, so there’s a lot happening in politics at the moment….. yeah, not got much on that. Did I mention that I put in a proposal to True/Slant, to write a blog about the British political battle currently being waged across our media? Oh yeah, there’s a political battle for the number one spot, to be the CEO of England. In a nutshell, what happens is that the one who is the most media-savvy gets to run the country for four years. I know, weird isn’t it? Imagine if you let someone run a massive multi-national company, not because they really knew about business, but because they knew how to create a shit storm** in the multi-channel media world? Oh, right yeah, Steve Jobs or Richard Branson. So anyway, that’ll be fun. My pitch was to cover the British political system as a non-savvy political pundit. Kind of digging in and seeing what it’s all about.
As it is, I’m reduced to making snide comments on Facebook and Twitter. But that’s where it’s at these days, right kids?
Right, as Capote said about Kerouac: that’s not writing it’s typing. So, I’ll stop tapping away now.
p.s. read the footnotes below, they’re really compelling and contextualise everything!
*Firefox is saying that empart is spelled incorrectly. I can’t be bothered to go to Dictionary.com and check, but I’m happy to accept responsibility if I’ve accidentally created a new word.
**Shit storm? No, I’ve no idea why I’m using that phrase. Sound cool though eh, scatologists.
