Back in the 1970's while at college in Anderson, Indiana, I started a paper version describing my thoughts and my feelings about my experiences. I called it "The Chilcoterie" and, I mailed it or gave it to people who wanted it. I called it the Chilcoterie because of the obvious connection to my name, David Chilcote II and the fact that coterie is defined as "an intimate group of people unified by a common interest or purpose," a clique if you will. I considered those that wanted to read my meanderings of everyday life as just that. The Chilcoterie was born.
The paper is truly a gesture in self gratification. I write because I want to write. I write about my life, my experiences and my thoughts, selfishly. Some of the writing will be irreverent and some will be sarcastic. I anticipate most will be just my honest thoughts and interpretations of everyday experiences. I will not purposefully hurt other people in my writings, but at times, what I write could be interpreted in a way that triggers bad feelings, I suppose. I apologize in advance if that should happen to any reader. If people are offended by what I write, I would suggest they learn to more effectively manage their feelings by disallowing my words to have such power or, if they wish, choose not to read the blog. I write again, for my own self gratification. I enjoy writing and hope others enjoy reading. I will welcome any and all comments.
