thanks for the props in your piece
though i can fill in some of the blanks on what flowers is selling

i consider the web to be a literary genre as a writer
and though rootsblog began as an instrument to sell mojo rising
i soon saw that it had more ideological potential than my regular webside rootwork.com
because it current event driven

but i consider them both ideological instruments, as i consider the web a very 21st century ideological instrument that we are only just beginning ot understand

and what im selling is an ideology, a vision, a hoodoo based vision of african american destiny

and my criteria of success is putting that vision into the african american ideological dialogue
disseminating the value of an afrospiritual vision of our destiny as a people
conjuring a hoodoo reality for future generations

now right now folk dont know what im talking about
i figure through the kind of daily presentation of a hoodoo worldview i do in rootsblog
folk will gradually come to appreciate the value of it

thats what im selling man,
i see the web as a literary instrument, an ideological instrument
and what im selling is the value of a hoodoo worldview
in particular a 21st century vision of hoodoo rather than that slaverytime
version of hoodoo that most people relate to

and right now that seems to be just me valuing that
and folk not appreciate that now but for every year that i hang in there
that many more folk, in particular blackfolk, will understand the value
of 21st century hoodoo, of an afrospiritual worldview
in shaping the destiny of the blackrace
and all humanity

and sometimes i feel kinda lonely out here with that particular mission/vision
but i accept the incremental nature of it (in spite of occasional blues)

and im not quite sure what you mean by responsive
when you conjuring and thats what i consider myself doing
you basically demanding that reality adjust itself to your will

so i tend to stake out ground and hold it until the world aligns itself w/me
which may result in what you refer to as lack of responsiveness
i keep flaying around trying to find the best voice for this thing and right now
im kinda determined to stand my ground until my vision gradually
becomes accepted as a valued and valuable one

basically i consider the web one big instrument of my magic
a literary instrument, an ideological instrument, an instrument
of magic and conjuration

again thanks for the props
been in the woodshed lately trying to finish
off this novel, i see you been busy though
so i assume you in a good space

dont know that i could add more to what you saying about IT
beyond the fact that i think its part of 21st century struggle
and probably the strongest instrument on the board, its just
that its so new that we are still figuring out how to best use it

but i really admire folk who are trying to use it for more than
selling products

also you might want to consider  the black commentator
and promethus 6
and you might want to put links in to the sites mentioned
in spirit and struggle
