What They’re Feeding Me is designed to be the progressive chef’s take on what is going on in the world of Journalism. Do you know many cooks? I’m what a lot of people wish liberals could be: straightforward. I’ll tell you how I feel about issues in the news with the cutting intellect one can only acquire after years of using a knife professionally. I dabble in stand-up comedy, so expect quite a few atrocious puns or at least a few one-liners, but I am a Chef by trade, and this blog is to serve as my cutting board: I’ll lay it all out for you, dice it up, and prepare it for you in a way that is more suitable for human consumption.
What They’re Feeding Me was originally conceived as an all-inclusive “zine” in photocopy format when I was 16 years old. To be honest, I think I only put together that first issue to impress a girl. But regardless, I started writing and publishing my own work at 16. Before that, I’d been programming computers since I was .. uh.. longer than I could remember. I was bred into the electronic era, and the “perils” of the death of traditional journalism elude me. I can’t seen anything better happening to the world than the complete decentralization of awareness that’s been brought about by the internet.
I tend to use a free-flowing narrative style which sometimes includes the refusal to capitalize my “I” (self referential). If I’m really angry, I won’t capitalize the beginning of any sentence and my spelling and punctuation will plummet. I sometimes like to preserve those moments of angst and despair leaping out of my fingers at the keyboard by saving those posts “as-is,” even if they’re embarrassing. Sometimes, the chef puts something out that’s a little bit exotic. Entertain yourself with the unusual spices.
