The Project - Adam's Take

So... Jason told me to keep this short and sweet, but I often have trouble with such things, so while I'm ahead I'll keep it that way. NewAthenianPress.com: Coming Soon. The end.

In all seriousness, I do enjoy writing and I do enjoy blabbing with my fingers, I do believe it's called blogging. I just don't like people telling me what to do, and I especially don't like doing what everyone else can do. So maybe that's why our project is a little behind. We'll both moan and groan about not having enough time, but it really comes down to the fact that all our time is spent arguing, which in the end will yield a higher quality product, but like most radioactive material, it takes time and effort not to destroy what we already have by being bumbling assholes with quicksand egos. And, like I said, I enjoy everything about this project, except maybe the project itself.

Of course that's going to be taken way out of context, and the next thing I know I won't have a partner, a girlfriend, and apartment, a job, or even a cat. So let me explain my motives. There has never been anything in this world that has engaged me more then the written word. I discovered my love shortly after I got my first A in high school, and once I found that writing was more than the commas and spelling I knew I was done for. I've given much for this love, and what I've taken away from school was thankfully enough to hold my own in life, giving me the free time to argue and lament on what we will make, (once we get our shit together and figure out what the hell we are doing).

It it amazing to sit down and marvel at the ideas that come about with great minds, so I tell Jason to turn off the god damn television because Good Will Hunting is too distracting while we're trying to get real work done. Recently we've come up with some pretty good stuff, though it's taking a lot of time. There is a process to creating something this big, and it's a process that neither of us knows very well yet, so it keeps us on our toes. We watch and observe, take and digest, then work it around us, forming something that we think others might understand - or even enjoy? We are failing and learning just like any other child, but luckily we already know what electricity is and we bought those little plastic safety things for the holes, and that in the end might be the best lesson of all. Take what we give you and figure it out for yourself.
