I woke up this
morning, sat down, had a coffee and try to shake my internal cobwebs. I`m still
not fully awake. And I`m thinking what should I talk about in my next post? I
have no idea at the present time. Then it suddenly hits me … Bang!!! I started this underground,
independant blog more than a year ago.
Mastock the blog released it`s first ever post on remembrance day, November, 11th, 2012. Mastock is now a year
and a month old, just like a little baby, my little baby. I look at the statistics and there`s almost
4000 clicks on my various articles \ posts. Not bad for a blog which basically
has:
No publicity
No promotion
Talks about non
commercial stuff, like:
Mail art
Zines
Noise
Underground bands \
artists
Drawings of famously
unknown artists
Short stories
& various
insanities
so happy belated
birthday Mastock
and kudos to all my
readers
I thank you all for
your love and support
I would also like to
thank all my enemies and \ or the fine folks who never believed in me.
Without
your stupid comments and negative feedback I would never do anything except sit
on my fat ass whine and complain, yatta yatta, yatta. Your negative opinion has
been noted. Anyways, opinions are like assholes, everybody`s got one.
Open Challenge to anybody out
there:
Feel free to send me stuff for review purposes but don`t send me your
material via my email it doesn`t support big files. Send me a link via
mediafire, rapidshare or any other type of file transferring website.

stuff don`t expect me to review all this stuff tomorrow. I work full time, I
have a life, I have various interests outside of Mastock. Thank you very much.
Happy Bday to Mastock the blog, Frank's baby! I did not realize it had been so "long" already but time flies the older one gets! Many cheers and congradulations to your ongoing efforts, and online donations to the cause which represents (and testifies) your own values and cultural choices in media entertainment. As you said, screw the haters and flamers, as they really aren't important to those who have no support and no compensation for promoting their own preferred artistic choices. It's too easy for Joe Nobody sitting on his ass surfing the net on his Android phone (or Galaxy Whatever) and just whine and hate online everything he doesn't understand nor comprehend. Folks like that actually make the independant strong because it prooves that we are doing something right, something which anyone with mainstream interest could never understand. So keep it up Frank! Never let the Mastock go down!!!
