Hey everyone and welcome to this new blog.
I felt it was time to set one of these babies up so here we go. In here I can talk more about day to day stuff, what’s going on “backstage” with this project, bring forwards interesting feedback I receive, ramble a bit about my life etc. People are writing me with increased frequency now that the site has been officially launched, and a lot of interesting things are brought to my attention. I can’t just let all this good information bypass you all, forever lost deep in cyberspace. More importantly, I have a desire to connect with you all on a more personal level, as I believe it’s the only way we’re gonna get anything done in our society. The self-centered man belongs to yesterday.
I’m really taking to the idea of brotherhood. I have been fortunate to experienced it on occasion, and it’s a powerful, awesome and humbling feeling. Totally ballsy and strong, yet vulnerable and loving. Learning to love other men in a deep way without feeling homophobic, but strong and empowered, is something everyone needs to experience for himself. In this version of friendship, I got your back, you got mine. We go down or soar together. I think this is a powerful concept. We need to bring it back to life. I need to for myself anyway.
So how about it then, should we play a little with this idea of brotherhood? Really, we need to, because you know just as well as I that a website such as this – despite all its awesomeness – is just a tiny speck of a vast cultural process that must take place in the years ahead. You see, my vision for this project – reinventing modern man by resurrecting authentic masculinity – is way too big to pretend I can do it alone. So we got to connect you see!
So welcome to this blog. Here’s to many good conversations in the time to come!
Love and respect brothers,
Eivind
