Welcome to the Sponge

Welcome to the Sponge, my first real attempt at a blog. When I say blog, lots of people groan at the idea, usually because many people post on their blogs with the typical events of their day, and many people get annoyed with reading about Alice feeding her seven cats, and how today was extra special because Mittens coughed up a hairball. This is not that kind of blog. If I ever do choose to write in any sort of personal story, I promise that at the very least it will have some sort of message to be passed across, hopefully humorously.

So what’s the Sponge gonna be all about then, you ask? Well, those of you who know me probably already have an idea; pop culture. I’ve long professed that I am a pop-culture sponge, super-absorbing things of our pop-culture lexicon better than a Bounty paper towel could ever dream of. Everything in this blog will be fair game, let it be movies, music, TV, books, whatever team Lindsay Lohan is playing for today, you name it. However, without naming the names of certain hotel-monikered fellow bloggers, I will say that when I write, it will have a purpose, and to that end, an opinion.

Oh yes, opinions. Everyone has one, and this website will be here for my own to be thrown out into the world. Just keep in mind that when you read them, that these are opinions, not doctrines set to be forced upon anyone else. You may agree or disagree with them, and that’s perfectly fine either way. I’m personally a big fan of different perspectives, and encourage those who have a different one from my own to post comments, especially if you can back it up.

Now, for those who don’t know me, a few things to keep in mind: I’ve got something to say on pretty much anything, and I say a lot. I’m wordy, so that probably means many of these postings are gonna be just as long as this first one. For all of you with short attention spans, I’m sorry, but not really, since you probably have tuned out already. I’ll probably go on long tangents of crazy, but bear with me and I’m sure they’ll have a point. Eventually. For a list of my current faves in pop culture, check my profile. Yes, the rumors are true, I’m an out and proud homo, and while I frown upon stereotypes, I’d be the first to admit how comfortable I’d be walking down the streets blaring Madonna on my ipod without even tha faintest hint of irony. So if my postings seem particularly gay-friendly sometimes and you don’t like it, well, what the hell were you doing on a homo’s blog anyway, hmmmm? Sometimes I’ll probably even contradict myself through earlier postings and whatnot. Feel free to call me out on it. After all, nobody’s perfect. If everyone were, there’d be nothing fun to write about. Enjoy.
