a wordological wordism: "shitsterpiece"

so wordological wordisms is basically just going to be a cut-rate version of "nerd words" from Bloda's blog (see link bottom right) where a term that may or may not show up in a subsequent entry of the blog may or may not be defined. anyway...here we go with the first one:

shitsterpiece (auf deutsch: Scheißterstück)

1. the top of the bottom.

2. so bad it might be good.

3. a glorious, shimmering, 4000-story towering inferno of regret and embarrassment.

4. wiping a really dirty ass with a winning $300-million-dollar lottery ticket (such that it is soiled beyond recognition and thus cannot be redeemed)

prerequisites:

1. must be some sort of genius (artistic, scientific, political, etc...)

2. must have either produced a masterpiece or at least have the potential to

examples:

Tim Burton:

masterpiece: Pee Wee's Big Adventure

shitsterpice: Planet of the Apes remake

George Lucas:

masterpiece: Star Wars 4-6

shitsterpice: Star Wars 1-3

United States:

masterpiece: New York

shitsterpiece: Texas

the ad hoc project is conceived (and what the purpose of this blog might be)

so under the premise of division-angst (see first blog entry), the ad hoc project was born. the name itself combines my first name with a term used to describe impromptu and often improvisational processes undertaken to serve specific purposes. somehow this title seems like an appropriate heading for a life, and in this case, a blog.

the life element:
the ad hoc project will encompass all of my various exploits, thoughts, endeavors, experiences, ideas, and interests.

the blog element:
in my search for the ultimate means of internet self-representation i've come to the conclusion that the best solution for me is to create the website that i seek. once again, this can be found here. while this is being developed, i will continue to maintain my other extensions at myspace and facebook, as well as this blog. so, consider this blog the central nervous system of the ad hoc project where i will attempt to register and record my thoughts regarding anything.

the YOU element:
if YOU are reading this, YOU are now part of the ad hoc project. i encourage YOU to further involve YOURSELF in the ad hoc project by leaving comments or complaints about the blog or anything YOU are inspired to say. the broad scope of this blog may or may not make it consistenly interesting or even coherent. the beauty of the ad hoc project is that it really doesn't care.

that said, please enjoy (or not)!

the struggle against division...

i'm having issues. i would like to present myself online using one (1) media-rich website and I don't think a site exists at the moment that can help me pull this off. as of today, i have my own personal website (www.theadhocproject.com), a myspace profile, a facebook profile, and now (which I guess is kind of a step backwards) a blogger.com blog. at first, myspace seemed like the best solution. i can blog, post links, provide in-depth personal information, and provide photos. but what if i make short videos and home-made music too? "adam", says myspace, "you can have a musician profile and/or a film maker profile as well!" but i dont want to have 3 goddamn profiles. i am one person that works in a variety of media and i want to present myself as such. i don't want to be split into parts. i am one (1).

i understand that this phenomenon tends to pervade life in general and might even be in our nature. we are reductive. we like to classify and simplify to make things easier to grasp. now, i cannot commit the fallacy of excluding myself from this behavior. this "breaking down" of life definitely makes it more manageable. i'm even doing it now as i try to translate my thoughts into these typographic characters. however, i tend to believe that harmony exists somewhere as a series of balances. balances between hot and cold, fast and slow, and, in this case, the small and the large scale. so consider my plight as some extra weight in the other side of the scale, trying to hold its own against the massive chunk of stone that is trying to break us into our component parts.
