It's My First Time, Be Gentle...

So after spending the last several years or so, having an often long and gratuitous dialogue with myself, usually in the car while stuck in traffic, it dawned on me that I could simply type these things out and not have the painful itch of wondering if I am in fact crazy. A friend once told me that there is a difference between talking to yourself and commenting to yourself. I thought about that and I guess that's true. I don't actually talk to myself as if I'm another person. I simply express long-winded diatribes about whatever the hell's on my mind. Now I suppose it wouldn't be ballzy at all to have a few others leave their comments on my thoughts without the risk of me actually having to discuss, debate, and defend my opinions, but I invite any and everyone to to contradict my opinion at every turn. And I promise, that's what I will bring to this, my opinion. I can't promise that my opinions will always be fully informed, but goddamnit this is America, and I aim to follow suit.

I have appropriately titled this Nerd Cynicism because that is exactly what it will be, the rantings of a film fanatical, music loving, comic-book reading, videogame playing, anime loving, pseudo-tech savvy, 20-something that has much to say about whatever crops up into my noggin. After you read my next entry (which I have already begun writing) you will understand better. I guess I'll throw some current events, politics, and general happenings in here from time to time, but mostly this is going to be angry nerd stuff from an angry nerd. I'll never be relenting or apologetic about what I say but I would love more than anything to have an open dialogue with anyone (especially if they disagree with me, and I'm sure many will) as long as they retort with something other than kneejerk "you're wrong" type remarks. Hit me with it, everything you've got, just so long as you are inteligent, eloquent, and open to the idea that you may in fact be wrong. I promise to do the same.

I should also warn that I tend to often disagree with the majority, make references a little too inside for the masses, and frequently use naughty words like fuck, shit, and douchebag. But again, I'm warning everyone out there ahead of time. But enough of this foreplay bullshit...
