Hello Internet!
I've been considering this move for a long time, but I think that the time is finally here. I'm ready to dedicate myself to the Internet as the new frontier, a messy techno promised land.
I've always joked that I have terrible internet habits. I used it for email, shopping, and porn. My poor Facebook friends went mostly ignored. I actually deleted my profile for a while because I was such a bad Facebook friend, and it stressed me out being a bad friend, even virtually.
I gravitate towards extremes. I've learned this about myself. I like to be all in, or not at all. I like extreme personalities and people. I used to think I might be bi-polar, but my lady psychiatrist disagrees. I'm just attracted to polarities. I've chalked it up to living in Utah for so long. (More on this some other time) So, I've excused myself from fully participating in technology because casual interaction is unappealing to me. I've preferred to dedicate myself to the terrestrial realm as much as possible, avoiding distraction.
I'm here now though, at this moment where I think it's time to come out of the closet. I understand that we are in an important age in human evolution. We all see this right? The Information Age, technology, the empowerment of the individual. Personal enlightenment over mass-hysteria, individual vs. the state. I don't now yet, these are big themes; all I know is that I am ready to sacrifice my privacy for this. I want to venture forth and claim my digital space, a deliberate decision on my part to make something of this space.
BTW, I just signed up for twitter @RyanDanielFretz #andsoitbegins

RE: Solicitation of One 1978 CHEVROLET El Camino
If you read through the email above, you see that I sought the "easy-out" for my Black Knight Project. However, I included a healthy premium in my asking price to account for the fact that I'm not really ready to give him up. Every project reaches this reflective hiatus, especially casual automotive projects. There is that appeal to dropping a lengthy to-do list from my goals binder: move on.
But, honestly, I want to see this guy through. When the cover is off I can't stop staring at him. It's a cool one, lot's of work, but worthy work.
