I’ve decided to give up on trying to launch this site in a near perfect form. I haven’t quite decided what I want this site to become, so for now I’m just going to work on the form and function at the same time. This site will figure out what it wants to be a little more organically. I can work with that. For the time being content will come first.
I’ve always been intrigued with the picture of everyday life in a city, the outer facade of activity and the individuals that lie hidden beneath. I always want to know more about how others approach the highs and lows of life, the exciting and ordinary experiences, how people make life bearable. Individually we may not consider our everyday experiences to be all that fascinating, but collectively our stories and perspectives weave together to form an interesting narrative about the places we live. In many ways we become our city. We are not simply figures that move from point A to point B or from event to event. Besides our physical presence we have opinions about our likes and dislikes. It’s not just what we do, but how we respond. I find it fascinating to consider these responses as a group. This is a sort of experiment, an attempt to discover how despite all of our differences we find a way to coexist. Like I said, I have no great plans about form or function of this site, I just want a spot to explore life in this city. There’s no disguising I’m a little bit bohemian in my sensibilities. I am a city dweller, I live in a what most would consider a shiny yuppie loft in the middle of downtown. There are many stereotypes one could attach to that. However, in my mind I prefer things to be a bit more chaotic and unconventional. Not unlike this project.
