I was just about to turn in for the night morning,** when my Google Reader updated with a new post over at Best Gay Blogs that just so happens to review my site .我只是约,把在为夜间上午, **时,我的Google阅读器更新与新职位,超过在最佳同性恋博客只是刚巧检讨了自己的网站 。 You can imagine my surprise to see the picture of the wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man staring back at me.你可以想象我惊讶地看到图片的古怪挥舞着充气手臂挥舞管男子凝视回我。
I’m honored to have been chosen as a highlighted blog, a majority of the blogs that get mentioned on Best Gay Blogs are in passing or as short introductory paragraphs in a list with others.我很荣幸已被选定作为一个突出博客,大部分的博客获得提到的最佳同性恋博客是在通过或作为短期的介绍性段落中的名单与他人。
The review starts by saying:检讨开始说:
Here’sa blog that makes you think.以下是博客,使您的想法。 Not always because of the content, but because of the way it’s set up.并不总是因为内容,但因为它的成立。 Actually it’sa great blog, but it’s not one of those pages where you know immediately what’s going on and who the author is.其实这是很大的博客,但它的不是那些页面,你知道,立即知道这是什么,谁是作者。 [...] and the posts have that aggressive, forward voice that you’ll either love or hate. [ … … ]和职位有侵略性,前进的声音,您要么爱或恨。
It’s actually quite spot on in that I speak with that exact “aggressive forward voice” in person and find that people either love or hate me.它实际上相当当场就在我发言与确切的“侵略着声音” ,在人,发现人要么爱,要么恨我。 There is little gray area.有没有灰色地带。 I prefer it that way, because not knowing where you stand with someone can be a frustrating experience.我宁愿这样说,因为不知道你的立场与某人可以是一个令人沮丧的经验。
A bit further into the article the reviewer continues: 1位进一步融入文章查察继续:
You’d assume, according to the title, Jestertunes is about music.您要承担,根据标题, jestertunes是关于音乐。 And while there are posts that deal with music (and some mention the author is a musician?), most of the posts on the most recent page deal with anything from depression to eating healthy.而有职位,处理音乐(有些提及该作者是一个音乐家呢? ) ,大部分的职位,最近期的网页上处理任何从抑郁症到吃健康。 All well written posts, dealing with sensitive, interesting themes you’ll enjoy reading.所有,以及撰写的文章,处理敏感的,有趣的主题,您可以享受读。 But then again, not quite clear in the sense that you understand the theme of the blog.不过,不太清楚,在意识,您知道主题的博客。
It’s hard to be pinned down to a “theme” as such on this page.它的努力加以牵制到一个“主题”等在此页中。 I know that there are a wide variety of topics covered from music to politics to web design to random brain droppings that don’t fit in anywhere else.我知道有各种各样的议题涵盖从音乐到政治,网页设计,以随机脑的粪便不适合在其他地方。 But it is all about me and my life and things that I find interesting and want to share.但它是所有关于我和我的生活和事情,我觉得有趣,想要分享。 I figure that a reader pops over here and finds something that he doesn’t care for, chances are pretty good that the next post will be something entertaining. i的数字,读者的持久性有机污染物在这里发现的东西,他并不关心,机会是不错的说,下后,将一些娱乐性。
I’m not a corporate-owned radio station that can only pick from a strict playlist.我不是一个企业的国有广播电台,只可以选择从严格的播放。 Reading this blog is a bit like going to a trippy independent film, you never quite know where you’re going to end up, which character is going to suddenly burst into song or draw sparkler letters in the air with his fingers; and you might occasionally leave the theater scratching your head.读此博客是一个有点像去一trippy独立电影,你永远不知道那里相当您去年底成立,这是性格去,突然闯入一首歌曲或提请sparkler信,在空中与他的手指;您可能偶尔离开战区刮你的头上。
The review wraps up with:审查结束:
I guess the point of this review is to first mention this is really a great blog in many ways, but it’s confusing if you haven’t been reading it since it began.我猜想点,这项检讨是第一次提及,这实在是一个伟大博客在很多方面,但它的混乱,如果您有没有读它,因为它开始。 Just a simple paragraph at the top of the web page, a small blurb to define what it’s all about might do the trick.只是一个简单的段在网页顶部,一个小blurb ,以界定什么是它的所有关于可能做的把戏。 So we know what we’re reading and why we’re reading it.因此,我们知道我们正在阅读,以及为什么我们正在阅读它。 It could be symbolic; the posts expressing the “tunes” of someone’s life…the metaphoric beat to which they march…the music of their existence.它可以象征性的;职位表示“曲调, ”某人的生活…隐喻巡逻,以他们3月的音乐…他们的存在。 But unless a blog is actually about rocket science you shouldn’t have to work that hard.但除非一个博客,其实是关于火箭科学你不应该有工作的辛苦。
There is a certain amount of irony here in that I removed the “About This Blog” box from my sidebar a few days ago.是有一定数额的讽刺在这里,我删除了“关于此博客”票房从我的工具栏数天前。 I wanted to rewrite it.我想重写一遍。
But in the interest of letting everyone in on a little secret that I’ve kept to myself for a while, I’m finally going to reveal what Jestertunes is all about.但在利益的,让大家在一个小秘密,我已经不断对自己有一阵子, 我终于要透露什么jestertunes是一回事。
It starts with the nickname, Jester.它开始与昵称,弄臣。
Back when I was working as a medic in Missouri, dating Toby and really figuring myself out, my boss commented that I reminded her of Danny Kaye in “The Court Jester .”*** She said I could double talk my way into or out of anything and leave everyone around me entertained, dazzled with bullshit and none the wiser.当我回到工作,作为一个军医在密苏里州, 约会托比和真正估算出自己,我的老板评论说,我提醒她丹尼凯在“法院弄臣 ."***她说:我可以谈我的双重方式,转入或转出任何事物的和每个人都离开我身边的受理,眼花缭乱与布尔什特和无明智。
I took it as one of the best compliments I have ever received and a nickname was born.我把它作为其中一个最好的恭维,我都收到一个昵称诞生了。
Several years later I fell into playing the role of Feste in a community theater production of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night (or What You Will).几年后,我陷入扮演feste在一个社区剧场的生产莎士比亚的“第十二夜(或什么你会) 。 If you’re not familiar with the play, it’s one of Shakespeare’s few true comedic works.如果您不熟悉与发挥,它的一莎士比亚的几个真正的喜剧作品。 It’s the play from which every modern story of a woman masquerading as a man steals ideas.它的发挥,从每一个现代的故事,一名女子伪装成一名男子抢断的想法。 The character of Feste was “The Fool” or the “Jester.”性格feste是“笨蛋”或“弄臣” 。
Shakespeare often used the jester characters as the narrator, and more often than not, the jester was the one character who understood all of the other characters and their motivations.莎士比亚往往用弄臣字符作为叙述者,而且往往没有,弄臣是一个字符谁理解所有的其他字符和他们的动机。 He would be in the background of nearly every scene observing the action and he would relay his opinions to the audience.他将在背景中的几乎每一个现场观测的行动,他将转达他的意见,向观众。 He was considered harmless by his superiors, but would often have a hand in the downfall of the villain.他被认为是无害的,由他的上级,但往往有一只手在下台小人。
Feste was particularly adept at entertaining the court with his songs that often revealed a secret or satirized the court’s actions. feste尤其是善于娱乐法院与他的歌曲,往往透露了一个秘密或讽刺法院的行动。
I accused my friend Leayn who roped me into playing the part of typecasting. i指责我的朋友leayn谁roped我到扮演的一部分, typecasting 。
The Fool is an ancient archetype, even occupying his own card in the tarot deck:傻瓜是一个古老的原型,即使占领自己的信用卡,在塔罗牌甲板上:
With all his worldly possessions in one small pack, the Fool travels he knows not where.他的所有世俗的财产在一小包,傻瓜旅行,他不知道的地方。 So filled with visions and daydreams is he, that he doesn’t see the cliff he is likely to fall over.因此,充满抱负和daydreams是他,他没有看到悬崖,他很可能下降。 At his heel, a small dog harries him (or tries to warn him of a possible mis-step).在他的致命弱点,一个小的狗harries他(或试图发出警告,他可能错步) 。
The Fool is the card of infinite possibilities.傻瓜是卡无限的可能性。 The bag on the staff indicates that he has all he need to do or be anything he wants, he has only to stop and unpack.袋上的工作人员表明,他所有,他需要做的,或任何他想,他只停下来解压。 He is on his way to a brand new beginning.他是对他的方式,以一个崭新的开始。 But the card carries a little bark of warning as well.但卡进行少许树皮的警告,以及。 Stop daydreaming and fantasizing and watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool.停止白日梦和幻想和观赏您的一步,否则你秋天结束了看傻瓜。 – aeclectic.com -a eclectic.com
