Writers Strike? Who Cares?

Sit back and think for a couple minutes about how you spend your pasttime. Has the writer's strike out in Hollywood made any detrimental impact on your life? Have you rediscovered the kids, found reading enjoyable or discovered the outside world? Or do you sit in front of your television wishing it would all end so you could be productive watching new shows instead of the reruns? I am willing to bet that it isn't the latter because television and its shows have become irrelevant and predictable and no one really cares what happens to them in Hollywood. DVD sales are plummeting not because of piracy, but because most movies and television shows made today are lame. There is the occasional decent show but they are too few and far between to prop up this bloated, self-indulgent world called Hollywood.

The writer's strike will simply quicken the demise of Hollywood's irrelevance as Americans (and the world) start focusing on their wants and needs rather than what Hollywood wants to feed them. Web sites like YouTube, Facebook and numerous others have lessoned Hollywood's impact as have radio improvements like Sirius. The the ever present sue crazies from RIAA and film publishers only further alienate the population and what you get is exactly what we see today. Declining interest in an industry and the resulting decline in revenue. The writers are going after a larger share of a shrinking pie.

So I say fare-the-well and don't let the door hit your posterior on the way out. I'll just tune into YouTube to watch a film created in someone's back yard while listening to my Sirius radio station while I set up my Wii. I'll be much happier that I can do it on my schedule, without fear of lawsuit and at a much cheaper price.

What will it be like?

Starting from the beginning is a good thing most of the time. This blog will center around life. Not it's meaning, but the parts that make it whole. Topics will cover things dear to me such as sailing (after all I am a pirate), guns, FSU sports, wines and observations. There is enough political refuse on the Internet already so I won't foray into that realm of animal dung at least not often enough to make it a common topic.

So there you have it. A humble beginning, starting a little late to give you a little insight into the the realm of Calico Jack.
