| Introduction | I'm yet another self-styled pop culture junkie, as if the internet needed another one of THOSE... sort of an idiot savant when it comes to appreciating sleazy horror movies and cheezy music. I toil in obscurity, which is for the best because I don't like, respect, or even trust most other people anyway. I'm usually in a bad mood. I'm fat & lazy, I sweat a lot, and I frequently substitute bad words in place of coherent thoughts or constructive criticism. I am nothing special and my opinion does not count. I am just another filthy, momentary ripple in the muddy human gene pool, and I am pleased to meet you. |
