Fairwell, Xcargo

Well, I have finally decided to say goodby to explosive-cargo the blog. I will, instead, do my posting at my brand new blog, the official (ta-dah!) Michael Jay Tucker blog,which you can also find here:

https://michaeljaytucker.blogspot.com/

Why a new blog? Well, that is kind of hard to say. I've done Xcargo for a long time as a blog, and for an even longer time as an ezine. (Remember ezines?) And when I started the publication, I felt I wanted to be mischievous, and confrontational, and very, very political...though with a smile. I wanted to be a gadfly and a rabble-rouser.

And, well, I'm not sure I feel that way any longer. I would still like to be funny, now and then, if I can be. And I guess I will always write about politics. Though, frankly, right now, I'm not sure the world needs any more rabble-rousers. We've got way too many rabbles and way too many rousers as it is.

Besides, somehow, the name "explosive" doesn't seem to fit any more. (And, he said with a sad smile, in this age of alerts and alarms, it is not always safe to use in public discourse.)

So, I'm starting the new blog. It'll have my writings, but also more of my experiments with art and graphics, and with video. It will be, I hope, more in tune with who I feel I am now.

I'll be letting this blog run until the end of the year. There will be videos each Friday up until December 27. Then, after that, it will go silent.

But please do go to the new blog, and stay with me. I wouldn't want to lose your friendship after all this time.

cheers
