Got my first post published in The Man Blog, the blog for real manly men. According to the Pinoyblog of the Week review:
We’re merely pointing out that if you’re looking for serious stuff (romance, music or intellectual discourse), or if you’re a woman who gets offended with cockiness and misplaced bravado, the Man Blog is not the blog to visit.
Well, I guess my pretensions for a career in the academe would have to be deferred.
My vanity, of course, likens this to Alvin Toffler writing articles for Playboy. I doubt if Toffler ever wrote the word “gangbang” in one of his articles, though. To those wondering why I signed up, I guess the short answer is that I’ve always been suspicious of those who would divide the world of ideas between the pop/low/crass and the elite/high/intellectual. Philosophy and The Big Questions began in the marketplace, not in rarefied atmospheres of churches and universities. If Socrates were alive today, he’d be having a comedy troupe doing mall tours - or maybe he’ll be a pro-wrestler (I tend to favor the latter).
Still, the mandate I got from Man-Blog founder Mike Villar is clear: to balance all the talk of fellatio with sound analysis and thought-provoking insights. I hope I live up to that expectation. 
For my first article I wrote about freedom of speech, a subject that’s dear to my heart. Get it through the Man-Blog.

Ahoy matey! Adam Mordo here, lazy poster and co-founder of The Man Blog. You may know me by a different moniker, Peter Juan if you are indeed the same Emerson Banez I suspect you to be. Small world ain’t it? Funny that it was Mike who found you of all people. Anyway, Glad to have you aboard.

I never quite formally expressed my delight of your accepting the tedious task of being a manblog editor, man. Welcome to the fold.
