My own personal time of …
Asked why I don’t post anything new on this personal mix-of-things put me in the awkward situation of not having a freakin clue how to answer. Have you ever been in a situation like this? trying to explain your boss why you were late to work, your mom why you are not answering her calls, your boy or girlfriend why you forgot his or her birthday or to yourself what have you been doing!
What does this mean!? Does it mean you wasted the time doing pointless things? Does it mean you had no time to answer a phone call or remember something important just because you have a lot to work and lots on your mind? Or perhaps it means you are just an ignorant fool trying to slide on the endless days?
For me most of the time is a mix of wasted time on reading meaningless stuff, listening to music with no external disturbance and expressing through amateur bad personal style photography. But in order to keep myself on the same page with the surroundings I often put them on a fictional list in no particular order.
So what I have been doing:
KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid
KISS means Keep It Simple Stupid, but what does really KISS means? It first appeared in the journalistic circles and then emerged also into the blogosphere. Now we all know (at least I hope you do) that the main purpose of any publication, whatever the medium or moral values, is, ultimately, some sort of profit, any kind of profit. I will not argue that the profit shouldn’t come first because it does and it will for a long time. So what is the idea with KISS.
KISS is the idea that any message (whatever the type) you put into the wild should be made and phrased is such a way that even a 9 year old could understand it. And from here everything goes wrong, or at least in a bad direction. I have no problem with the KISS philosophy itself, it can serve it’s main purposes well, but at the end it’s those purposes that some have and get me out of my nerves.
Some say that they trust their readers, trust them not to be stupid, and to make it more interesting they say “I trust my readers, but not all of them“. What the hell is that? How can you trust your readers not to be stupid, but well let’s just say not all of them. I don’t trust my readers, I can’t possibly trust any of them, an the reason for that is KISS at some point, and what it became during our existence.
