This space will serve, Deo volente, as the venue for my entirely new blog to be known under name and stylee of The Exaggerator--as in the "National Exaggerator" per A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, if you still remember that Scooby-Doo prequel series from around 1990.
The Exaggerator will try its hardest to become the acme of bombastically awful weblogs across the Information Stuporbahn. In other words, not exactly the worst weblog out there ... but trying its best to be. And will by an emphasis upon what could best be described as a cross between illogically schizophrenic ideas and some of the more bombastic rants in a blog form approaching that European editorial genre known as feuilleton--or close to it, for that matter.
More correctly, a hybrid of the European feuilleton and the American newspaper column, with my own personal approach to whatever may be crossing my mind. And even though the end result, or its byproducts, may be rather awful to read in the end, I hope the end result will be agreeable by you.
The Exaggerator, like the daily phosdex before it (and to which The Exaggerator continues), will be master to no one but the mind of Your Correspondent.
It will not kowtow to any political paymasters, conservative nor liberal. (And anyone thinking of such an idea might do better to make a donation to reduce the National Debt with any payola you may try to foist on me.)
Instead, The Exaggerator will have its own mind, expressing its own take on the world, one which opposes jingoism, nativism, xenophobia and even "patriotic" hate, bigotry and prejudice in any and all forms and guises. Even if the language can, @ times, tend to the bombastic (and the hope here being one of getting you to look up many of the words so used, discover deeper meanings beyond the aseptically sterile, and @ once narrow-minded, such as Fox Noise and suchlike of their ilk wants you and me to accept as Holy Writ, and not to question the same lest Serious Consequences ensue for the Antient and Pecuilar Soverignty and Soverign Identity of the United States as a byproduct).
The Exaggerator would rather prefer "ownlife" (Newspeak for individualism, eccentricity, deviation from the accepted line) over "goodthoughtful" (Newspeak, too--here, for orthodox by second nature, one willing to accept the prevailing line as Divine Writ without question or reservation), especially when the latter is expected to be reinforced by deliberate ignorance and stupidity (as epitomised by doublethink) for the sake of a warped and deluded patriotism, not to mention the perversion of patriotic symbols in furtherance of the same.
Your Correspondent, having had much in the way of experience as comes from abuse, cruelty and psychiatric maltreatment and misguided judgements, is perhaps rather qualified to serve the role. Especially when it happens that blogging serves as a form of therapeusis from all the abuse, cruelty and maltreatment, one which depended all too heavily upon medications and fear rather than compassion and dignity (and excusing the same as one with "cost-efficency," "delivering taxpayer value," etc., as if hoping that such overzealous and yet unscrupulous exercises in cost-efficency will translate into consistent "dividends" in rebate form, hoping such will be blown quickly @ the local Wally World).
As well, The Exaggerator has to make some money as well--especially when you consider where Your Correspondent is on disability benefit, by and large, and is trying to supplement same by honest means considering where he's otherwise unable to work under the meaning captured standard.
The fact of which places him @ clear and present risk and danger of exploitation by elements weird, unwholesome and unscrupulous claiming to offer all manner of "systems" on how one could consistently make big big money online--in some cases, unfortunately, tending to the dishonest and otherwise exploitative.
Hence, Your Correspondent is planning to offer online shopping here @ The Exaggerator to not only help pay the bills and supplement Your Correspondent's disability benefits, but also help make your time on this blog worthwhile. Howbeit with fewer e-tailers than previously @ the daily phosdex; the better to allow for faster downloads on even cable modems. Expect such to come on stream within measurable distance.
For the time being, take note of the virtual "tip jar," so to speak, along the side of this blog. In addition to the commissions from online shopping, I'd also appreciate your donations (sorry, Charlie--they're not tax-deductible), regardless of amount.
All in all, The Exaggerator hopes not to be just another weblog.
In other words, just trying to be the worst weblog online.
I hope this Prospectus gives you some idea of what can be expected here in The Exaggerator, and if you have any comments or suggestions to offer, just use the "contact me" link.
Enough said--?
sincerely,
ILUDIUM PHOSDEX
