I have a lot to say. Whether any of it is particularly useful is up for debate, but I wanted somewhere to put it.

Now lets be honest, the only people I would intentionally show this to would be friends. Strangers don't care about my love for Hyperion or Northlane, and quite frankly I don't really want to just put that out there (if you found this by typing www.connerknipp.com, why did you do that..?). I know I’m decorating the room for three people to occasionally stand in, never by their own will. I’m fine with that. They’ll have somewhere nice to stand.

But I wanted a website. A website where I can make it what I want with no character limits. Some days I want to talk about a book I finished. Other days I want to complain about video games or spend entirely too long explaining something that probably didn’t need explaining. Having somewhere for all of that sounds nice. 

But something that really annoys me is that the only way I could get these out is by using social media. Not even feeding it into the machine and hoping others see (as mentioned above I know the three people who will check this). But I don't want these to live on Instagram, or Facebook, or whatever. I wanted a spot for it all, accessible by anyone who I let in. My opinion on a twenty-year-old Xbox game should not need a marketing department.

I also like being able to make the place look how I want. Hence the diner. Books, games, music, and whatever else is occupying my brain all fit pretty comfortably into a place where people sit around and talk. The menu might be a little inconsistent, some things might blur the lines between the TABLE TALK and the ARCADE CABINET, but at least its here.

So with that being said... is a booth okay?
