The wiki I have been working on is going pretty well overall. The pages are coming along well and they are not all the same. I have yet to use anything but straight up text in any of the pages. I would like to add pictures to a few, but i don’t want there to be copyright issues. I’m starting to inter-link pages but they are all linear and all end up at a dead end at some point. I want to create pages that will stretch across the individual movies. I have a few director pages, and one plot device page but I want there to be more to create a latitude and longitude to the navigation. These inter-linked pages will create a way of moving from one seemingly unconnected page to another. I also haven’t developed tags all that much, I don’t have many pages that use similar tags and the ones that do are directly connected (as in they have to same director or actor) not just related.

Sticking with the whole pool analogy, I would like to stick to the shallow end until I find some sort or niche. Speaking of pools, what’s with this whole Michael Phelps ‘youthful indiscretion’ fiasco. Where exactly is the news in this? “TWENTY-THREE YEAR OLD TAKES A BONG HIT AT PARTY!!” congratulations, you just broke watergate.

And don’t try and give me the role model speech. Mike Phelps isnt Ghandi, he doesn’t help the poor or free the oppressed, he swims fast. People don’t look up to him for his character, they think he looks good in a speedo. I don’t give two shits how many gold medals he has drapped around his neck and the truth is, if he was born in Romania neither would you. Most of us have as much to do with Phelps’s victories as we do with the outcome of the Trojan War. So stop making this kid out to be some all American, Johnny Unitas poster child and let him rock some ganja if he wants. We all care WAY too much about our celebrities’ personal lives, and I’m sure most everyone is aware of this problem. I have the solution and it involes not giving news like this priority on every major network. But what do I know?

testing testing, one two one two.

This is my first official blog. I thought it would be a good idea to dip my toe before I cannonball into the world wide web. Not because I’m afraid the information super highway is over my head, but because I need to know if it is able to withstand the blunt force trama that is my unforgiving rage and passion without overheating and mealting down faster than Chernobyl.
