Avid \ ‘a-vəd \ characterized by enthusiasm and vigorous pursuit
Rhetoric \ ˈre-tə-rik \ the art of speaking or writing effectively
This page exists as a platform for to share thoughts on a variety of issues. I love to write, but until now, my primary outlet was Facebook. As I watched my pithy contributions disappear into the web-ether, I realized I wanted a more permanent address for what I have to share. My aspirations for this site include:
- Document the stuff that comes to mind.
- Parlay my amazing writing talent into fame and fortune.*
So, enjoy this. Or not. I am not trying to change the world. I will be happy to enlighten a few minds.
As for the name, yes, I chose very flattering terms to being. I make no promises that the content will be “art”. That would be ludicrous. The name denotes what I want to make of the effort. I want to paint my thoughts with words, here, rather than in some comment stream that will die in 0.0432 seconds.
*this is not a serious aspiration
