blogging is amazing

BAR wee3 thin.jpg

1. You're sitting at the the bar, getting buzzed on caffeine.

2. You doodle something on the back of a busines card.

3. When you get home later you upload the image onto your website. Takes all of 2 minutes. Costs practically nothing.

4. Within hours hundreds, sometimes thousands of people all over the world are seeing it. USA, France, UK, Japan, Estonia, Brazil, Portugal etc etc

5. Well, I think it's amazing, anyway.

UPDATE: And SPAIN. Never forget SPAIN, or risk suffering the fury of a certain woman's scorn.

Again, great diffuse.

I don't want to use the word schizo (that would be insensitive and unkind and probably untrue) but I will say that this is a very interesting blog you have here; lots of tension watching you walk the tightrope of artist/businessman - really laying the guts on the table with the cards while coming across as a smart, savvy young man in the notes. Thanks for the drama.

i dunno, bob, i'd say "schizo" is a pretty accurate way to describe it. heh.

still, a blog is the best way of expressing both sides of the coin i've come across. far better than any regular media i can think of.
