My blog has been a long awaited affair by only me.
Back before I ever frequented the Internet, people had blogs. In 18, almost 19 years of my life, I've never met someone who has a blog (that I knew of). I guess blogs have slowly morphed into social media. Humans have always had a need to share things about themselves—I say that without evidence, but it sounds right. Instead of blogs we use instagram, facebook, twitter, etc. However, sharing things about ourselves on the Internet has become absurdly corporatized and streamlined. There's no social media I know of that nurtures creativity or individuality, instead, we share things based on what we believe our followers will enjoy. All the while being bombarded by ads, virtue signalers, pseudo-activism, cornball-ass-bitches, propaganda and our government's prying eyes. Social media is a cesspool right now. I don't claim to be the first one to make this point nor am I upon a horse denouncing those who use social media. Maybe though, we should take a step back and return to the "golden age" of the internet—I think it would be more fulfilling.
Hopefully I'll put up some pictures, link some videos, review some music, discuss movies or books, and draft up whatever's on my mind. I also hope to house some of wildcardrussell's vlogs, who's videos were deleted from YouTube because of "copyright violations." As if videos made for the sole purpose of recording our escapades are going to profit from Universal Music Group's "property." Real fucking joke if you ask me. Bunch of corporate big wigs jerking each other off.
Still, my efforts are solely aesthetic. Perhaps I could learn to code HTML and purchase my own website domain. For now though, I will reside in the Google owned subsidiary, Blogger.
I hereby declare the advent of a new era; my return to the blog.
