The Return of Dougsploitation???

After 6 weeks of social distancing, self-isolation and working from home...I'm think maybe its time to start blogging again. I originally cut back on blogging to focus on my Dougsploitation Facebook page, but after the events of Election Day 2016, I began to step away from all forms of social media.

Now, nearly 4 years later, the world is clearly a different place. Four years ago feels like an eternity, so much has changed - some things for the better, most things for the worse. But through it all I've managed to still find comfort in the things that I love most - and most of those things involve reliving my childhood. The 1970s and 80s may not have been the "best of times" but they certainly were simpler times. When I'm seeking comfort food for my brain, I head back to those decades and I always find solace. And in the past few tears I've also reached as far back as the late 1880s and early 1900s seeking additional ways to celebrate the past.

Of course Halloween and Christmas have been highlights of the past few years - any distraction to keep me from thinking about how miserable the real world is -and how it just seems to be getting worse. So, in an effort to recapture those special feelings and to exploit the pop culture of the previous decades I declare that Dougsploitation lives again. For how long? I have no idea. I also have no idea who, if anyone is even out there reading this. Maybe no one.

I guess I'll see if I get any comments. If you are there, please say "hi" just to let me know I'm not yelling into a grand canyon of emptiness. In the meantime...beware the "Fingers of FEAR!"
