New Brand?

Perhaps on some distant planet somewhere I need a new brand. I feel like I've flogged the same donkey for years and I need a change. Maybe a change of clothes, I could dress the sight up in some new threads -maybe a logo or maybe I need a new approach. It's the year of the horse and apparently it's the year of riding into prosperity, it could even be the year that the pale horse rides in -over the heads of many, either way (tend to say that phrase far too much, I really need something new whether it be approach or a way of working as at the moment it's kinda a 'meh', optimistic still kinda vibe. So what's the plan of action you ask?

Well it's all in my head, and in my mind mapping app that I should really add something to. It's time to step into making it happen, kinda inprovising around a script I may have already written or even be written elsewhere. Either way[s] (here we go again with the either way), I'll make it a success.

Is A Difference In Opinion Really Hate?

Too many people attribute an alternative opinion with 'hating'. A generation of bloggers, journalists and critics are scared to say the wrong things to avoid displeasing artists, pr companies and brands for fear of falling out of favour with them.

Honesty is always best

What happened to the days of an honest review, an honest point of view and an honest blog?

Are we deprived of such things due to business/brand conduct and the lack of anonymity, or is honesty way too risky in the era of disingenuous flattery where most give undue respect and admiration simply because of who they're connected to?

This 'lack of honesty' is what's ruining it for everyone else because the lines between the uninspiring, mediocre and exceptional have become blurred. This isn't creative snobbery, it's quite the opposite because I find that all opinions that oppose the status quo are shot down and demonised -quite like the established trend of speaking out against injustice.

We seem to live in contrived times, in a culture where a majority of folk are happy to follow a trend rather than follow their deepest desire to go against it. There's a few of us who seem to be on the same page but I think I need to start doing my part to make a change...
