Electric Head from Matt Burdette
I accessed this site a few minutes ago.
The picture on the top is full of clouds and the slogan is HAPPINESS IS THE ONLY IDEOLOGY.
The writer has a minimalist aesthetic. He writes about every two days about things that go on in his life. His entries have a variety of styles such as chat transcripts between him and his buddies, these ubiqiutious tests (he happens to be green).
Through late March his journal/blog seems to have been pre-occupied with philosophical issues like the evilness of people and how he always feels so out of it, "Why can't it be me that cheats on someone's ex-wife?" This is referring to the conversation with Jenna that he had about pent-up anger. He gave some interesting insights about his relationships with people that relate to depression and his absolute hatred of manipulation.
The blog runs really clean and is quite easy to read. He uses miminal HTML. He seems to be quite a young man, already about 19 or 20, and still in school (college? university?) and studying technical subjects. He seems to be having a grand passion for Donnie Darko which is on DVD and also industrial music. Being completely not into that scene, I totally respect it and his preferences there-I am more than willing to be guided.
He has these wonderful references to relationships outside the traditional paradigm. "We go looking for houses. You know what that means." And his self-portrait is really intriguing. References to block: he seems to do his journal during Private Studies or whatever their American equialvent is (please don't tell me it's study hall!).
Links look interesting and personal. I wonder if there are/will be any archives. There's a Profile which I am personally checking out. What I learnt from that profile is that he had a bit of cancer, but he doesn't seem to be overly pessimistic. He is VERY VERY computer literate, much more so than yours truly. He really is an Electric Head.
Here's the link in case you should want to look at Electric Head. Perhaps you'll see what I see, perhaps lots of things different.
Overall rating: 6/10.
