Bars are all across America, and all across this blog. Our goal here at Goodtimes is to keep the bars going. From digital imaging at a concert to the signal strength on your cell phone, each prospective viewer on the Internet is a participant in a grander scheme. The Internet is an entity still yet uncompletely utilized in the fullest realization of our dreams. Knowledge is power, and knowledge is derived from the most common of all roots: Curiosity. Media and the mediums in which it is used or presented are shaping the very core of mankind's experience and destiny it has to fulfill. Media MUST evolve, however, and sometimes the end product is not realized until a fatally contrived experiment becomes apparent for all to see.

Case in point: The synthesis of reality and media. The two have become inexplicably interchangable, and often times easily manipulated. Here at Goodtimes, it is not "good times" simply because of the event's context in which it appears to an outsider's eyes, it is a good time to be alive. Especially if you are in the boardroom on a no-bid contract going straight to Iraq. Millions of dollars will go straight to the CEO's pension for retirement, and another private comes home dismembered for life with no clear restitution or financial security for his future. Thanks to the select marketing of a medium called the Media, our nation's masses can no longer see the difference between slick packaging and the disaray of its reality.

There is very little these days to call a positive, but where there are bars, there is communication. If we learn to keep talking, eventually we will work out our problems. Whether communication is performed collectively, or initiated from an individual's mind, as long as the signal prevails the path must be followed...
So keep those bars coming, and remember:

Good times are coming, but they sure are coming slow!
