…or not…

that some basic things have changed over at the otherwhirled—that other meta-incarnation of Dawnne that keeps him from going crazy.

as a result of coming out of the closet in terms of my atheism over there, some things are going to change over here, just probably not at the same level. one reason for the difference between the two is that functionally, in my personal life, my agnostic atheism is of no tangible import. in other words, between myself and my family, who share my worldview, it’s “eh, big deal”, and rarely ever discussed.

on the other hand, my agnostic atheism is exactly what drives my quest—my philosophical investigation, in truth—for better self-understanding. and that’s largely because i recognize the need for self-understanding before one can feasibly attempt to understand others. but you could also exchange the word “philosophical” above for “spiritual”, and that sentence would basically read the same, in my eyes.

and i’m tired of not including that quest here. it has only partly been because of the inherent juxtaposition between time allocated to blogging and time allocated to work. but the reality is, my work life isn’t very likely to get any less time-consuming within the next decade or more, so i might as well just schedule some time in and devote it accordingly.

which, i have done.

the snarkery side of it will remain on the otherwhirled, but given the diverse readership and the gross amount of visitors on the otherwhirled compared to perpetual dawnne, the otherwhirled was the proper place for a formal announcement of the matter. however, as i begin sharing my path to this point, such posts will be here on perpetual dawnne, because of their relevance to who i am, and their general lack of cathartic expression.

make sense? i hope so.

i imagine, because of the depth of time involved (a near-eternity in comparison to her normal communications when i have managed to contrive a what-the-fuck moment), that i have managed to offend at least one long-time reader and friend of these blogs. sadly, all i can offer in that regard: please try to think beyond what you’ve accepted as truth, because you know there’s little basis for it as “truth”.

seriously.

but i will continue to love, admire, and respect you regardless of how you ingest what i wrote over there.

portfolios.com

the driving force behind why i got synthaetica.com up-and-going for real this time was that i was lucky enough to get picked up by portfolios.com last month, and i now have an agency at least trying to drive some interested traffic my way. i figured if i was going to promote my fine art, i should pay more attention to it. one of the most aggravating aspects of my life is the amount of imagery i have sitting in the archive gathering digital dust.

at any rate, after launching this site a couple of days ago, i spent yesterday finalizing my content over on portfolios.com in the hopes of drawing more traffic this way. there aren’t any unique images there (in comparison to here), but it will be updated frequently, and new releases are likely to be cross-posted.
