Hello and welcome to my blog! I can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but if you ask me, I'm going to lean towards bad. Why? Because I've always thought as wonderful as the internet is, its also the biggest nightmare ever. A place where any idiot can go out and say whatever he or she can say, is straight up dangerous. No filter, no censorship, just straight flowing conscious thought pouring from every web page. Now sure there's nothing bad about someone sharing their thoughts or beliefs, the danger comes in when idiot reader takes that information and uses it as fact or becomes a belief.
Beliefs, now that's the most dangerous thing in the world. Beliefs are argued, fought over, killed for, and died over. Beliefs, in another word, dangerous. As you read think of your beliefs, and what you have, or what you would do for your beliefs. Would you die for your belief in Jesus or Allah? Would you kill for democracy or socialism? Or lets not even go life or death, would you paint your naked chest and freeze in zero degree weather for Green Bay, or the Steelers? Maybe not exactly dangerous, but certainly not safe either. Will I tell you to stop believing? No, beliefs although dangerous, have an upside as well. How many third world countries now have running water that they did not have before, all thanks to people believing in a guy who taught them right and wrong. I could go on, but if you haven't gotten the point by now, you are one of those idiots I was talking about at the beginning of this post.
Going along with beliefs, nationalism is another danger. I've always thought nationalism should only be used for one thing, and one thing only, the Olympics. I'm not saying you shouldn't be proud of your country, you should, but when you get into the whole, my country is better than yours, you can see where the problem lies. You could also get into the whole, my God can beat up your God, debate in here as well, but we all know that's just going to turn us into dogs chasing our own tails.
By now you're asking is there a point to my rambling about dangerous beliefs? Yes. This blog is not here intended to create controversy, promote independent thought, or question what you thought was solid is now crumbling. This blog is for entertainment purposes only. Sure I may go deep, but as you read each and every post that may or may not come into this, remember, this is for entertainment. I am not here to cater to the masses, or go with what's popular in pop culture. If that's what you are looking for, then you can look elsewhere. This blog is dangerous. It will be my free flowing conscious spewing out rambling rhetoric of how I see this cruel, twisted, and beautiful world we call Earth. I don't really know what to expect from this blog so we all shall see together what comes of this as its all just one big work in progress. What I can say, is that if you are reading this, I thank you for your time and consideration, and hopefully something written in here will promote free thought and independent beliefs outside of what has been structured for so many of us in society. But you must always remember, this is for entertainment purposes only.
In this blog, I don't have some outlying plan that this will cover this, or that, it will be whatever I feel I need to publish at the time. If you were to ask me right now, I'll probably point out to be reviewing or criticizing works in the media, television, film, books, music, video games, and whatever else I feel like covering.
Now granted, I myself hate critics, and reviews of such, as I feel its hard to critique or review someone else's art, that they have poured a piece of themselves into. But as a writer myself, yes I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Creative Writing, or how to bullshit your way through college, as I like to call it, I feel like I have an opinion that is missing in today's society. And I guess that is why the real reason for this blog is being created. I know for a long time, that the film and television industry is shelling out excrement for us to watch, and I've reached the point where my anger has outgrown my apathy to sit back and watch, to take some type of action. This blog is my action. This is my forum to announce to the world things you love or like, are terrible, and should be put six feet under. Did I just really say that? Yup. Because I guarantee there's something out there that you love, and I will find a way to rip it apart, and hopefully show you faults that you did not see before. The biggest example of this would be the show "Lost," on ABC. Of course, I'm sure I'm not the only fan of that show that watched that last season and just went, "Are you kidding me? That's how you ended it?" Or maybe you're not a fan of "Lost," how about "The Sopranos?" Yeah great show, but horrible ending. I mean horrible. You know what I always thought "The Sopranos" should have ended? It should have ended like "The Departed," where everyone just gets killed. Really? Yup, they all should have been killed. It's a mob story, and how many mob stories end with a happy ending? Instead they just go black and mute. Really? How much more dramatic would have it been, seeing Tony Soprano and his family gunned down, blood dripping from their bodies, while some Sinatra song plays in the background? Way more appropriate ending than just cutting to a black screen. Anyway I feel like I'm starting to go off on tangents and I want to stay focused here. Hopefully this blog will be a way to entertain you, and make you think for yourself. That's my real hope for this, but alas, only time will tell how corrupted and twisted my hopes and dreams become.
