Hey there, gentle readers. It's Jim, and this is my blog. For those of you reading who don't actually know me, I'm a twenty-nine year old man living (or trying to, anyway) in New York City. That life, for better or worse, is almost always an adventure. A long, long time ago in what seems like a galaxy far, far away, I used to have a blog on Myspace. Like everyone else, I eventually stopped using Myspace and moved to Facebook. I love Facebook, but, no blog. So, for me, switching over was like moving to a much nicer neighborhood that doesn't have that one seedy bar with the crackhead sitting outside that you always went to but would never actually admit it. I missed that bar. And the crackhead. So now, I have a blog again.
What can you expect from me? Well, I'm a writer, or, at least, I think I am. So, my goal, aside from ranting and raving about a myriad selection of topics (we'll get to those in a bit) is to polish and expand my writing skills, and to entertain you, all at the same time. Will I be any good at it? I don't know, you tell me. In terms of content, one blog I'm already planning to write is an exploration of Darth Vader as an analogue for Jesus.
Yes, I am a Star Wars Geek.
That brings me to content. I watch a lot of television, so I'll be blogging about that a lot. I'll probably do an "Episode of the Week" column, or something. Likewise, I read a lot of comic books (no, my geekdom is not limited to Star Wars) and will blog about them a lot as well, also probably with a "Comic of the Week" column. I read a lot of books, as well, but probably won't blog about them much, unless something really excites me. Likewise for music, probably won't happen much. Oh, and I will doubtlessly be whining about the Mets quite often...
What about movies? I'm glad you ask. I won't be blogging about movies all that often; however, my best friend Nick and I will be blogging about movies often and awesomely at Heckling from the Balcony. (shameless plug!)
The other thing I plan on doing, probably weekly for awhile, is a Blast From the Past column, where I'll post some of those old Myspace blogs, mostly to bring back some memories for me and my friends. I have a wonderful, eccentric bunch of friends, and as time goes on, I'm sure they'll all show up here as well.
So come and join me. It's going to be a bumpy ride, but it's going to be fun as hell, too.
