The Manifesto
I'm writing a series of short statements on my life, thoughts, and beliefs under this title. I will soon be posting it online with a tagboard for responses. Is anyone here interested in reading and/or commenting?

1. You can't write a manifesto.
You have less than 1000 posts :)

4. You can Manifest all you want to If is is good it will work
If it sucks it will die.
I hope it works.

6. It woon't be particularly groundbreaking
But there will likely be several points of interest.

5. As long as it's
YOUR manifesto, as opposed to THE manifesto.

9. Impressive!
Intelligent, witty, funny, sly. Aphorisms are not really my cup of tea, but you've got some good ones.

10. Aphorisms
My aim with the aphorisms is to apply to each statement a small peice of summary or memorable phrase in order to attract interest and leave a simple idea or memory in the reader's mind.

11. "A phrase that attracts interest and remains in the reader's mind."

12. So far, many have praised the writing,
But few have responded to the content.
