The Sojourner

I'm not sure how dedicated I will be and this blog, journal, scrapbook may be found desultory. Here is how I hope to use it!

- friends (or enemies, new and old)
- information (music, video, ideas, jokes, youtube links)
- eating vegetarian/vegan
- planning
- time capsule
- anything else

All of those could be expanded on...

I would like to explain the name of this though

"prate of the proles"
prate is idle talk, proles |short for proletariat| I am using in the sense of George Orwells "1984". Where proles are cogs in the machine of society, romantically envied for because of their ignorance, but also detested because of their actions in rolling fascism along.
(should I explain the book briefly or in depth here?)
I am going to try writing in many different styles so feedback is appreciated.

So that completes a sparse first post, hopefully laying the framework for more detailed posts.


! List what song you're listening to !

I excitedly discovered a lot of new music through "What are you listening to..." threads on the Modest Mouse forum at Audiogalaxy.com in the early 2000's. Cheers to the possible rebirth of that feeling. (link the song maybe)
