about the site

Welcome to America's Decline. This is my personal webspace where I express myself and explore my interests. It started off as a dystopian parody of America Online but it became a reminder of what I love about the internet.

Throughout the site, you'll find a lot of shrines — some, like the Poppy shrine, are becoming more elaborate sub-sites — to random things I like (see below for a list of some of those things); random pieces of writing, mostly about nostalgia and the old web; and original and curated digital art.

I have lots of fun stuff planned for this site! Check the updates page for info on what I've been working on lately. Keep reading to learn more about me. And be sure to explore the rest of the site (click around or view the channels page or site map) and check back often!

peer into my soul

I am the sonnet, never quickly thrilled;
Not prone to overstated gushing praise
Nor yet to seething rants and anger, filled
With overstretched opinions to rephrase;
But on the other hand, not fond of fools,
And thus, not fond of people, on the whole;
And holding to the sound and useful rules,
Not those that seek unjustified control.
I'm balanced, measured, sensible (at least,
I think I am, and usually I'm right);
And when more ostentatious types have ceased,
I'm still around, and doing, still, alright.
In short, I'm calm and rational and stable -
Or, well, I am, as much as I am able.

What Poetry Form Are You?

you are lightcyan
#E0FFFF

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.

Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.
