Welcome to Previously Unpublished.
Finally.
So this is the new blog. A ground breaking heterotopia. (See: heterotopia ) An instantaneous existence for stupid nonsensical metaphors or observations and more likely, complaints about law school and whatever else I can come up with. Anyway, I’ll see how this goes before transfering the other online projects to this format. However, WordPress is supposed to be the best free blog engine on the net and the host, Blogsome, is free as well. So, since it took me almost four hours to research and establish the account, I’m going to have to leave the first entry and the state of the blog in general, like an apartment that you’ve just moved into: scattered and without any form. However, I’ll soon have links and posts up that I’ve been meaning to get to for awhile.
This blog will hopefully be far different from the meandering personal meditations found on my old blog. Of course, for the odd fan of that babble including myself, I’ll still find a way to express those types of thoughts too-just in a more anonymous and abstract fashion. I would rather reserve this heterotopia for more objective and hopefully witty observations that would make sense to someone who didn’t follow me every waking minute. Of course, the random top five list or personal questionaire might be fun to include-mainly so I can tag other people to reply in the comments. I have comments now!
A couple more things:
The title of the blog. As a self-proclaimed writer, this has actually been one of the hang-ups for me converting my blog. I needed a good title and I finally found one looking through the index of The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway where there is a section called: “Previously Unpublished.” Which is perfect because that is what a blog is: instant publication for the first time. Yeah, maybe I could have thought of a more outlandish name, but I want this to be taken sort of seriously. I’ll save the fun stuff for a fiction writing blog. (Coming soon!)
Lastly, in homage to the old blog, I’ll end this first post with another quote from the master:
“He drank an Anis at the bar and looked at the people. They were all waiting reasonably for the train. He went out through the bead curtain. She was sitting at the table and smiled at him.” I think that pretty much sums up the perfect life, or a reasonable one anyway.
Funny how again, as I start another blog I’m alone late at night with one light on and a drink in my hand, only this time it’s a bottle of red wine instead of a Guinness.
