Year Two of the Revolution
by Raymond M. Colombe
Internet companies are dropping faster than a discount plastic
surgery job.
Investors are running for the hills, or at least demanding companies
produce
something called "profits." The bubble has burst - over a
trillion dollars
disappeared almost overnight. The global economy appears to be on the
cusp of a
major slowdown. That's why, on the second anniversary issue of Quantum
Muse, I
must announce: the party continues!
We aren't in this for the quick kill. We are here for the long
haul. We are the true
believers. We have a vision! We know that chicks dig us! We have double
vision!
We know how to live on nothing but beans, rice, and weeds we pull from
the yard!
We have yet to run out of coffee and booze! We love our readers! We
love our
authors! We love what we do! We must be crazy!
Crazy like a fox. Running an E-zine is not the most lucrative endeavor,
but after
two years, we are still at it. Sure, there are some great benefits.
I go weeks
without wearing shoes and socks. I only wear a tie for funerals and
only when I
can find the darn thing. I tell people that I can't work for them because
I work for
Quantum Muse, and thus avoid real jobs. But what I really enjoy
is being part of
humankind's forward evolution.
The human race are story tellers, creatures of imagination. Seeds
of imagination germinate into physical reality. We are a race of dreamers.
From dreams come some great ideas that manifest in the real world. Quantum
Muse is delighted to be part of the dream. We don't just publish
this stuff, we really can't tell the difference between fantasy and
reality.
Quantum Muse gathers fascinating thoughts and publishes
them for the world to see. Our stories and art fuel the mind with high-test
wonder. If you are entertained, that's great. If we give you something
to think about, that's rather special too. If you read something that
causes you to quit your boring 9 to 5 job, sell all your worldly goods,
and move to a Caribbean island where the women are willing and the booze
always flows . . . well, that's really cool too.
Quantum Muse: shaping the future, uniting the world, and
living the life of artistic wastrels. No telling what delightful things
we will bring you in the next year. Stay tuned.
