About
Rev. Mitcz is a 26 year old web designer, comedian, sometimes musician living in Hollywood, CA. If you’d like to view his design portfolio, watch/listen to his comedic performances, hear some music he’s made, or view a gigantic fuckload of pictures - you can do so at his professional site : RevMitcz.com.
So, why make Mitcz.com?
The short answer : I felt like it.
The long answer :
I had a LiveJournal, I had AngryMF.com, and I had RevMitcz.com. When posting a random “about goings-on in my life” article, I would do it on my LiveJournal. When writing something I felt like sharing with the world, especially if it was angry, I’d write it on AngryMF.com. RevMitcz.com has remained, and will remain, strictly for self-promotional purposes. A problem came up, however, when maintaining basically two sites for my writing. Say I had an amusing thought about something that happened while at a grocery store that day. A LiveJournal post might be adequate for that, but few people knew about my LJ. In fact, I just had one little button in a submenu on RevMitcz.com that said “blog” which would bring up a stylized version of my LJ, that matched my site. So, maybe I would post to AngryMF. But, AMF was hardly the place for random musings - it says it in the name. I’d hate for a first-time visitor to pull up ANGRYMF and see “so today, I’m at the store buying a rutabaga and this lady cuts me off at the express lane..” and they’d think “wtf? that’s not angry! This site should be called ‘mildly annoyed motherfucker’ cause that’s what he is!”. And, really, they’d have a point.
There was also a few other problems with the aforementioned setup, some of which include :
- Sending links to articles I thought were worthwhile, to friends. Most people hate clicking LJ links, and can’t/won’t comment because it’s anonymous unless they have an account. Even though I left anonymous posting on, unless the person posting wanted to go out of their way to say “hey, it’s me, Joe!”, I would have no idea who posted the comment. Besides, LJ is ugly unless you go through the trouble of styling it yourself (see below on that)
- Unless an article was particularly “angry”, I felt it shouldn’t go on AngryMF.com.
- I invited other people to write for AngryMF, therefore making it not “mine”, so posting personal shit seemed inappropriate as well.
- LJ does not have an RSS feed, to my knowledge. If it does - how the hell does one advertise it?
- I didn’t want to style LJ with their weird, proprietary tags. Who has time for that?
- There were many things I wanted to with AngryMF beyond its original scope, but I just finished redesigning it a few months ago - I didn’t wanna start over AGAIN
- Neither of these sites got much traffic
- Posting something to AngryMF meant putting it into a category, and I was already running thin on weird categories that really only made sense to me in the first place.
- LJ is a community. I don’t really care for online communities sometimes. I like ‘em when I’m trying to be like “hey friends, lookie here” but when I want to branch out - community sites also seem to make things incredibly generic, cheap, and lame.
So, yes, a variety of issues. I had (and still have) a shitload of unwritten articles floating around in my head, but I wasn’t too keen on posting them to LJ or AngryMF. I was faced with a choice of either redesigning/reworking AMF (again), redesigning my LJ and hosting it from my own site (perhaps under a subdomain like lj.revmitcz.com), or going all-out and making a full “blog” site where I could do whatever the fuck I wanted, whenever the fuck I wanted, and just keep it as a sister site to RevMitcz.com
I went with the third option. The only issue with this is that I’ve got to explain why I’ve got two sites that are “all about Mitcz”. So, that’s what I’ve attempted to do here.
No, I don’t think I’m so enthralling and amazing that I need two sites. I just wanted to keep some things separate and Rev. Mitcz and Mitcz are two different people, in a sense. Fuck you if you don’t like it. Welcome to Mitcz.com if you do.
