“Life in blogs is real because it’s your own life, and life is about using time up. It’s nothing more than that.”

Ai Wei Wei, 2006

I was trying to think of how to deal with another initiative post after having written the other one, and I remembered that when I went to New York a couple years ago when i went to MoMA I bought this weird book called “Ai Wei Wei Speaks”. Never finished it. Kind of think the reason why was because I accidentally got it rained on and it no longer looked like a nice book to be seen reading, but it was probably, definitely more my own laziness.

Though I remember reading it and it did touch on blogs at the very
beginning, which I thought was intriguing considering he was such a famous artist for that to come up first. It is pretty potent though, in the quote above, he kind of raises a cool point, that right now in writing this I’m filling up time, or using it, so I guess it is pretty real, however fabricated blogs can usually tend to be.

I don’t think, so far, that I’ve been too withholding of my own identity, just like how I can be apparently easily understood through my social media and internet activity thanks to “Big Social Media” (thanks, Trump), the blog posts so far could probably tell some sort of story as well. 

I feel like this time I’ll actually finish reading it though. Maybe.
