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.
