Brave New World
Hi. If you've made it this far on this convoluted site then you are either an old "Scaredy-cat Stalker" reader or seriously lost. Here I am, back in the saddle and ready for action. It's been over a year since I put out the last issue. I'm another year older (not wiser, just older) and so much has changed. I wasn't even sure if I was going to continue all this stalking nonsense, but as I've discovered, it's not something that's easily purged from your system.
This all started in Portland, Oregon, 1995 as a forum for my Henry Thomas fixation. Now it's the spring of 1999, I'm in New York and I've met my muse. Things have been topsy-turvy, to say the least. What do you do when you've reached your goal? (That's the nice thing about aiming low-you're bound to succeed at some point.) That's something I've been trying to figure out for awhile now.
I've never considered myself the cyber type, but here I am with this humble webpage. The whole point of doing "The Scaredy-cat Stalker" was to share ideas and get all my mania out of my system and into the world before I combusted. Now, I can accomplish that in a quicker and cheaper (and believe me, cheap is very important these days) fashion.
Sure, webpages lack character. I'd be the first to admit a preference for thumbing through a xeroxed booklet over staring at a computer screen. I don't know how to weave fancy web pages. I miss being able to just cut and paste whatever I wanted wherever I wanted (I don't have anything to cut and paste anyway-there are 20 boxes of books and magazines sitting in a mobile home in Oregon that I wonder if I'll ever see again.), but there's a lot of meat to chew on here. For now, I don't even have the capacity to put up photos. Maybe someday soon this will all change.
But there are benefits. If I get the urge to write about something (silly or mundane as it may be) I don't have to wait months for it to be printed up and sent out. Now there's no stopping me from immediately typing that gripping tale of following a boy off the subway and putting it up for watchful eyes in a matter of minutes. I love immediacy and hope that you'll agree. Poke around and see what you think.
