So, if I were like everyone else in the world with a bully pulpit, I’d write about my interests more often. I’m kinda thinking of doing that.
Here they are, paraphrased from what I wrote on Facebook and most other places: abusing emerging technologies, dancing, laughing, long distance running, action figures, baseball, classic video games, comic books, dyssomnia, movies, music, parties, profanity, Second Life, trading cards, and football (American and otherwise).
Some interests that I should probably add to the list: television, reading, politics (though this is mostly “be disgusted at people who exemplify the worst in human nature”), women (Hey, I am interested in women!), writing, munging and lozengeplay. (OK, kinda kidding about at least munging.)
Now, I write about some of this crap here and there, usually in passing outside of my trials and tribulations with Attempting To Run, but not on any sort of consistent basis. I don’t know that I’d want to write about any of it full-time or anywhere close to it, as I quite often see even the best of my subject-specific writer friends totally running out of subject matter. I wouldn’t want to just write about what people want me to write about either. If I did that, all I’d do is rip apart whatever’s happening in pop culture at any given moment. (Y’all are some bloodthirsty motherfuckers.) However, as part of our ongoing outreach efforts to you, the hairy-palmed reader, and as a way to beat the shit out of our long-overdue poll functionality, I’m putting the call out there. Go over to the sidebar of this site (which you can’t do if you’re reading a feed of this; you feed people miss out on all the fun), and vote in the first poll here! Have your say! Exert your filthy influence over what gets written about here in 2010 and beyond! “Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones! You…are…invited!”
