Greetings

Greetings,

I am an 18 year old high school student from rural Indiana, and I recently purchased a moleskine pocket journal from eBay. My interests are in philosophy, and writing, which I have only very recently taken to. I've always been told, by faculty and peers alike, that I'm good at it, and its something I enjoy.

One question I do have for all of you is.... how do you use your moleskine? I originally intended to use mine purely for a journal, a record of events and my thoughts throughout the day. Philosophical musings. Yet, what if I have some ideas to write, a novel, short story, perhaps poetry? I'm not sure why, but there's just something about it being my first moleskine that makes me want to do it the "right" way. Heh, its taken me a week and a half to decide to write in it.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
