While I've loved anime for several years now, I never considered myself an otaku.

Switch that … Continue reading What Makes an Otaku?
"If there's one thing I hate, it's the noise, noise, noise, noise!" Now, was that a quote from The Grinch or simply musings on modern media? The answer is yes. I know I sound like an old geezer if I say that today's music sucks, but A) I'm 26, B) if you look at music … Continue reading Noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!
Let me be clear: when I say "Worst Generation," I'm not saying all these twenty-somethings are entitled, lazy brats. Many of us are, but many are not, too. I say "us" because I'm one of them. I'm 25.

Even the most hard-up, old-school, fundamentalist Christians can agree on this. Yes, the Bible is our source, we believe the Bible is the ultimate … Continue reading Description vs. Prescription
We've all heard the homosexual stereotypes. For men, it's usually a strong fashion sense, a lisp, and a body that makes straight girls mourn.
