Stop! It's Blogger Time!

Literature. Mankind's second-most developed vehicle in which records and stories are passed to the following generation. Closely behind spoken-word, the transcription of words onto various materials has allowed homo sapien a continued edge over any other species currently in existence. Scribes, authors, journalists, and now bloggers utilize one of our most precious gifts to deliver current information to the general masses. Why, may I ask, do we place such a heavy emphasis upon this established tradition? The historical preservation of historical events? Entertaining audiences through interesting fictional accounts? 

We write simply because it is our duty. 


Enough of the boring, intellectual scheme. Isn't that how you feel above? Sitting in a class listening to some monotone instructor deliver what they believe to be definitively important. While, yes, I strongly advocate for the preservation and support of the literary arts, in no way in hell am I going to attempt entertaining those reading with a lack-luster symposium on literature's history. 

This is my addition to a global community of bloggers. Individuals with an input on popular culture. I read, study, write, analyze, discuss, live, breath, obey, and enjoy literature in various iterations. Therefore, let me express my sincerest welcome to (what I hope will be) a collection of not just criticism on literature, but entertainment media as a whole: video games, movies, shows, comics, web series, and whatever the f*ck else comes around the corner. 

Oh, and what exactly DO you do with a BA in English?

#203: Sacrifice a copy of Absalom! Absalom! to appease the spirit of William Faulkner (and to rid the world of one less copy of jumbled gibberish). 

Stay tuned for video blogs and the unboxing of the Max Payne 3 collector's edition!!!!!!
