Sometimes you get sick of all of the prefabricated associations, and it becomes difficult to take things seriously. Even worse, things can become downright repugnant, and by things I mean, pretty much, the act of existing. There are times when such a feat seems unnecessary, unfulfilling, pointless, painful, and ultimately in vain when you consider the unavoidable descent into the abyss. But then there’s also hope, a very powerful and potent thing indeed, with just a few hints of hope, as trite as it may sound, there opens up magnificent doorways – they could be illusions, delusions, disguises, or sleight of hand, but we allow ourselves to buy in so that we can keep the momentum going. Hope fuels existence, at least for us cognizant ones, unmatched on this planet in our desire to learn, and explore, and contribute to the overall mass of information that our species has so nobly collected, and set on a course who’s end we have only recently begun to have the vaguest notion of.

It’s been far too long without any activity on this thing. I’m such a negligent internet presence. I know. One day soon I’ll be much more reliable, I’ll have quaint stories for you on a regular basis.

I’ve been in a bit of a bizarre new world (for me) the last six months, working as the associate editor on a documentary that’s going to be on HBO this coming year, and the hours have been strange and varied (which certainly keeps things interesting). I’ve been drinking far too many energy drinks (aka legal speed) to keep my blood-caffeine content sufficient. Can somebody explain to me how these things can be legal over the counter when I need a scrip for Adderall? Fucking thin line.

So I’ve had some pretty big plans for the site, but they just keep getting bigger and bigger, too fast for me to even keep up. The gist of it, though, is that Exploder Face is going to be changing in form significantly. Rather than being merely a place for my own creations it’s going to expand to include works from several different contributors, making it more of a multi-media gallery, with new featured content on a regular basis. Now, all the updates I’ve been working on recently don’t take any of this into account, so the new site design coming (very soon) will mostly be a stylistic change, while the following update (hopefully by the end of August) will be a completely redesigned site to better showcase the various work of our contributors. So it’s a very exciting time for all things Exploder Face related, and if all goes according to plan things are going to get so much more wonderful.
