To Boldy Go Where Seemingly Everybody Has Gone Before

There aren't many things more masturbatory than blogging; myspace, maybe, the Oscars, Emmys and Grammy's certainly and of course masturbation itself, but that is pretty much the whole list. Still, I feel the need for release, so once more into the breach dear anonymous people on the graph.

This blog is supposed to be about pop culture, but I wouldn't be surprised if we go off about whatever sustains our interest long enough for a post. My hope is that we remain consistent in our world view and that comes through in our writing, if only so I can try to figure out exactly what my world view is anyway.

I can't promise any fresh insight or perspective on art or what we consume as art these days, but I do believe in it. The work, criticism, the intellectual appreciation of our experiences reframed and the attempt to understand what it is to be human through the closest thing to being someone else's head. As I arrive at most of my core beliefs through drug-addled Cartesian thought exercises, this is as close as I get to religious. I hope to make a few converts along the way, or at least not do too much damage to the cause.

Happy time wasting.
