Huh
I wanted to have this conversation
With people, who um
May think my writing, is as cool as I think my writing is; by any off chance
Um
I have 371 pages, or so, of, uh, blog posts that I’ve done since February 10th 2018
When I um, wrote my artistic biography
Um
And it’s… seeming that there has gotta be a first page to This Book Written In Reverse somewhere
And so I think today is the day
Um… that this is page one. And might I encourage people to… look at it from the context of an uneducated, average, middle class, privileged, you know, American person, who grew up
Um
Being connected to suburban life, as well as rural life; with no electricity, and outhouses; and saw the transition of the 20th century into the 21st century
Who was 18 in 1999
Um
I don’t claim to be, like, some scholar, or great writer; I just claim to be a voice in the wilderness, so to speak. Who’s only coming ta try to understand life
And so, I just think I’m gonna… mark this as page one
And hopefully there will be some encouragement in this, this, compilation of confusing ideology and ridiculous behavior that is my life
That will inspire me to do a book two
And to do it in a way that is more adaptable and acceptable to… a… quote unquote “sophisticate society” which has nothing to do with class, and more to do with… the acceptance of variations and beliefs and the growing as a species
*chuckle*
I’m just a weird person, who doesn’t really know how ta… figure all of your systems out, because the systems themselves I feel are, are, largely incompetent
Um
But here is page one, and my signature
My name is Robert Ashley Hilsinger
Thank you for reading
