Well it has been an interesting year. But... I didn't blog much about it.
Perhaps that is because it is traumatic these days to be an entrepreneur in the US trying to start something new. Every client expectation is that one has the deep pockets of ATT or IBM combined together with the prevailing business world attitude that no bank is ever going to finance a small start-up business ever again for a person of modest means who needs to generate an income from within the business.This makes for a rotten economy of depressed and sad used-up people who dreams are shattered by the limitations of their net worth. Meanwhile, taxes keep going up to finance the plush retirements of union workers whose tastes are focused on the low end of life's pleasures. Jobs? What jobs? The American consumer is hiding out.
My last post here was over a year ago. I must have decided about then that I needed to start thinking about a new type of business, one which involved media convergence. So. that is what I am doing now. Working out an internet business based in Manhattan that expands upon what I have learned in the past five years as an importer of Made in Italy artisan foods for the Mediterranean Diet. It is all a fantasy-the media. Yet we lose ourselves in it to hide our pain.
Just like The Great Depression, The Great Recession is hard to live through so many volunteer to fight in distant lands to give themselves a purpose in life. Our War economy is what keeps the country going. But nobody wants to admit this so we delude ourselves into thinking that our War is doing GOOD things in the world. Though deep in our hearts we know that this cannot be true.
I will build a network to show content to people who want to escape via their televisions and computers. It will be fun for me. Let there be light and art and music and film. And laughter...
