Using the potential of social networking to fundamentally change the mainstream...

... woops- I started out in that title talking about changing the "painstream"- what a classic freudian slip. And of course, we have heard already about first how television and then the Internet and then blogs were all going to make possible the radical positive changes that are needed at the bedrock of our social, economic, and political Democracy. You know: the kinds of changes that are required if the vast majority of us... We the people if you will... are going to live in any sort of a civil society with much hope at all for meaningful work, secure career, safe communities, stable families, reasonably sane kids- in short, all the sorts of things that go into allowing an indidvidual a shot at much of a self actualized life.

And obviously, social networking as it can be applied to grassroots and progressive organizing in the direction of my old "EPGTDS" (Evolutionary Progressive Grassroots Transformational Democracy Solidarity) catch term... though, to be honest, it never caught on much cuz nobody hardly ever saw my, like, "work"... Anyway social networking combined with and used to enhance some new styled bricks and mortar boots on the ground movement that does a better job of mobilizing and articulating the positions on issues that will deliver on big ticket quality of life, social justic, peace and freedom, security and prosperity, and all around equal opportunity structure types of issues- that's what all my effort is to be all about addressing.

It's not all meant to be tweets and blogs and trying to monetize my work as a writer slash thinker poet philosopher adventurer explorer type of hunter and warrior fellah. I have to work up the gumption to combine that kind of New Media sort of advocacy to actually throw some events in the real world around the general notion of launching a real world activist organizational entity that promotes the ideas and positions that I articulate, propose, or call attention to in, like, the writin'.

Now that I have the new Credit Billing cycle to work with I will splurge for my new Web Space and domain registration and start the ball rolling. The readiness is all! That's write, I used an exclamation point.
