It Had An Opinion About BrianVan

I have always hated that personal journal blogs are written by the subject. It allows for all sorts of communicative manipulation and erroneous perceptions to become on-the-record information. I have always thought the better personal journal format was this: everyone (else) writing about that person. A collaborative biography, in reverse chronological form.

So, do you have an opinion on what I say, do, or post online? Well here you go.

FYI, I consider this idea an art project, not a real attempt at documenting my life.

Tell BrianVan what you really think about him!

  • Ad hominems will be unceremoniously deleted. As will love notes, too.
  • Say something substantial. Be thoughtful and long-form; no 140-char limits here. (maybe a lower limit)
  • Link references or sources where appropriate
  • This is about your impression of me. Talk about that. Do not make grand assumptions about what I’m thinking, because you probably don’t know.
  • Always remember: in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
