Beautiful Thing #88: Friends
220082UTC
Maybe it’s Chicago weather-induced cabin fever or just a regular old epiphany, but just the other day I said to myself, “Damn it. I miss my Friends!” This post perhaps marks a turning point in this blogs illustrious history. From it’s humble beginnings, this blog has sought to catalogue one by one beautiful objects and concepts, culminating in a compendium or encyclopedia of beauty. This purpose may shift slightly.
Within the next few days, I expect the one thousandth visitor to this site (who will win absolutely nothing). And yet for one silly reader requesting an RSS feed, I abandoned a very sleek and simple layout theme, ruining the aesthetics of something supposedly dedicated to beauty. I argue that this grave sacrifice is in istelf beautiful (had I done it without complaining, which I didn’t), and shows today’s Beautiful Thing to be very powerful indeed. So to all the friends out there, you are beautiful and more important that the way a blog looks to a thousand strangers.
Devoted readers will note this post’s shocking use of the word “I”. Remember when I said “turning point in this blogs illustrious history”… dun, dun, dun. Stay tuned…
