Is There Anybody Out There?

Blogs have it tough these days.  When they were the only way to discuss what was going on in one's life, be it movies, music, family or whatever, there were a great outlet.  Then came the great and powerful THE Facebook.  With this marvelous tool, one could hook up with a large number of firends, real and pretend, and instantly state that a certain movie was great, a new album rocks or a child has just lost their tooth.

In other words, it made things too easy and became the communication choice for many and for many a blog, the end of the line.  Sadly, that is what has happened with my blog.  I have had a real tough time keeping it current.  Writing an article a day or even several per week is a difficult task when yo ucan quickly type a few sentences  on THE Facebook and reach several hundred people you in an instant.

So does that mean my blog is going away?  I hope not.  I hope it will become of good use again for more long form movie or music reviews.  I can see room for both.
