Viva La Blog

Mainstream media listens to the little folks whether through that obsolete medium called newspapers or now through blogs because basically they try to reflect the concerns of the average person.

I am but a little creature.

Everything I am therefore forces me to have no room for bullshit of deceit. I am the embodiment of who and what we bloggers really are. I am a minority of the big population but a true reflection of real feelings and real people.

In being a chip off the rock of the mass media I am the essences of truth with the utmost fidelity through my feelings and the world I view. The advantage of the blogger such as me is that we are not guilty of pretense or affectation. We bloggers are but the people who hold up a mirror that reflects the world around us. The popularity of blogging and bloggers such as me is the lack of dilution of seeking approval of the many. Whether I am right or wrong at least I am not an actor speaking the lines of others but rather an authentic voice reflecting the world around me. This is the essences of the popularity of sites such as Booble and the voice of an Al Goldstein.

In the 37 years and 1800 editorials I wrote for screw I never sought that kind of honesty or even knew it existed. But now, alas, we have an alternative language to explain the world we live in.

Though I hate all streaming video porno sites because they lack honesty and uniqueness at least I have an avenue for expression for myself and exploration of the many roads available for us to travel.

It was the novelty of the internet that put Screw into bankruptcy. There was a technological breakthrough of a new voice and a new stage to view the world around us. Newspapers are like stagecoaches and have been replaced by the quicker and more immediate ways of delivering the message. There is a new purity for our voice and it is as radical as the cavemen thousands of years ago who invented the wheel and created fire so that they would be able to cook raw meat. It is ironic that sushi has brought us back to raw food. Although, in spite of these improvements I am still nostalgic of pen and paper and the snail like ways of 40 years ago.
