it's just me (that is, m.e.) | a.k.a. elke

i'm an editor, news junkie, trivia hound, lol'er, tea fiend and amateur chef, as well as fan of the quirky and obscure. and while i don't always have much to share about my personal life, i might want to keep record of it when i do.

but this ain't just original stuff from me; far from it. i also enjoy exploring pop culture, the power or failing of journalism, grammar, travel, graphic design, and a wee bit of men's fashion.

don't worry; i'll share it all with you. won't you be part of my -ism?

(warning: it's gonna get gay up in here sometimes, so if that offends you, please, don't follow. there's even going to be some artistic nudity, so...)

If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery—isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.

Charles Bukowski

Sigh. I’ve never been willing to go that far.
