Mission Statement

My life is going nowhere. I used to be a writer. Then people started paying me to write, and I stopped writing for myself. Now I feel like I have nothing to say.

I'm finding my voice again. This is what it sounds like.

When I first landed a job in journalism, I did it by reviewing music. No one read the blog, I just wrote it and sent it to potential employers if they asked. That was more integral to getting my job than having a college degree.

I want to pick up where I left off, but I have a serious problem with reviews these days. I use them constantly, but they're so... negative. I'm not going to do that. It's not my thing.

Instead, I'm just going to post about shit I like. I'm not going to score it, because that would be stupid. I'm not going to try and convince you to like it, because I don't care. I'm just going to tell you about it. Is that okay? Is that cool?

I'll probably cover music, books, video games, and YouTube channels primarily because that's what I waste most of my time on, but if I pick up some kick-ass camping equipment or an exciting STD I won't hesitate to share.

This is a record of my influence. Motherfucker.
