To Borrow a Trite Cliché: Welcome to my World

To be honest, the only reason I'm even writing this blog is because I have opinions too.

I have reasoned that there must be someone on this tiny spinning orb of disillusionment that gives a shit about this endeavor of mine. If one day, someone tells me that they liked a single post, this blog's existence will be validated in my book.

Now for the day's lemon juice. I figured an appropriate way to kick off this party is to say something about myself so without further ado...here goes nothing.

First off, I'm a college freshman in the lovely (and decidedly frigid) northeast of the glorious Obamanified Estados Unidos. I'm also a 19-year-old dude so I'm not expecting myself to be a well of awe-inspiring knowledge. Although I might throw a witty anecdote or two at you every once in a while.

And now the gritty deets. I'm a lefty, I'm afraid of bees, I supported Obama up until he declared the deployment of another 30,000 troops, I have a potty mouth, I'm a dog person, I secretly want to get the same tattoo that Matthew Fox (Doctor Jack Shepard on Lost) has on his left arm (shown above), and...I love movies more than life. My perfect date would consist of going to dinner at a fancy French restaurant and going to a great movie afterward. The better the movie, the better my performance in the sack following said movie. For example, if I had seen V for Vendetta on a date, the aftermath? Let's just say it would have been one for the books.

Well, I think I've said enough for what was supposed to be a curt initial sampler of my deranged rhetoric. I think a great way to wrap up would be to list my favorite 20 movies. After all, movies are the cat's pajamas to me. Anyway, thanks for reading and if I float your web-surfing boat, do come back.

The Guy in the (Not so) Horn-Rimmed Glasses

P.S. It took me about half an hour of perusing my DVDs and serious contemplation to put together the list above. I care about this blog that much. Just something to think about.
