A Message from the Editor

First some more thoughts about f-b, which as far as I can tell deleted a comment I made about a picture mentioning something negative about it. When I posted the comment again sans fxb reference it went right up.

Reading and seeing pictures from friends lives is sort of like reading a magazine each person has been publishing, hopefully without fear of censorship, every mag with it’s style and feeling. Each issue shared is perfectly suited for the computer age being short in length and all together make very inspirational reading.

I’ve always been into magazines just like movies and I hope readers here can share in some of my likes as they are published. Friday Showing has it’s own feel or style which I try not to think about instead watching to see how it develops. Honestly, not just watching but also expressing a desire to make it good. That’s why letters to the editor sent either of at least three different ways, are very special and with permission which is presumed unless noted otherwise, may be be reprinted.

fxb really inspired my writing along with past blogs which had even less style than is shown in this publication. Inspiration I deeply appreciate wherever it is found. As I mentioned before (several times) I have shifted my primary focus to Friday Showing with less focus on fxb. As everyone knows or finds out it is very hard to shift attention away from fxb no matter how noble the thought may be. A writer just wants to write and has some ideas which are perhaps best expressed in a certain way and fxb is good for stimulating, in my case not just my let’s save the world condition but other more personal thoughts as well.

I often come across a little difficulty deciding how refer to writing especially my own also how to categorize content for my mag in the user friendliest way. Let’s say; article, message, publication, rant, piece, story and some others are often thought of as solutions. I decided this afternoon, the best answer is writing, my writings or a writing or wait maybe letter or sutra. No my ‘writings’ does not imply anything other than I know how to put words on a screen or if pressed on paper. I feel I am such a mixed-media and eclectic or eccentric person that placing contentent under, about, blog and even video, gallery and contact, is both difficult and subject to duplicating and location changing.

We can share writing about things or people the later being the most interesting especially with images. In short my appreciation here is for the desire to share both in me and with others. The final words being, I keep my own sense of balance by spending time with people. Real people because the fxb and computer world is, no matter how humanistic I try to be in writing words and sharing pictures, virtual and is not being with such people as we are fortunate or misfortunate (dealing misfortunate folks is actually fortunate after all) to meet in person.

My greatest appreciation is being able to visit and meet with people some of which still do not have a computer or use fxb, a lot. I find it enlightening. It is a Buddhist activity.
