“Mission Statement”

I’m semi-new here, and I want to talk about some stuff.

A few years ago, for a university assignment, I had to make a blog and post to it for a week (and this was the blog; forgive the title, because I literally couldn’t come up with anything better and I still can’t). This wasn’t my first experience with blogging–I spent a semester or so doing required weekly blog posts in high school English. To be honest? I loved it. Both times, I really enjoyed the experience of getting a space to write about whatever I wanted and having people read it.

Of course, this time, the “having people read it” part isn’t guaranteed, because I no longer have classmates that are obligated to read this stuff as part of their grade. That’s not what I care about, though. I genuinely have the best time writing these entries, and I don’t care whether two people or two hundred people are going to read them (of course, I’m hoping for the latter).

What am I going to blog about? The stuff I like to watch. Aren’t there already 1,000,001+ pop culture blogs? You betcha. When am I going to post? Whenever I think of something I want to write about. Did I just end a sentence with a preposition? Whoops.

And finally: should you read this blog? Sure. But only if you want to.

XOX,

Spooky Saturday – Your Weekly Halloween Jam

Listen, I’ve been in the Halloween spirit since August 1st. In honor of this, I’ve decided to add to this blog a temporary installment where every Saturday, from now until Halloween, I post a different song to get you in the spirit of the holiday.

Today’s song is “Bad Moon Rising” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. I love this song but never thought of it as a Halloween song until Spotify suggested I add it to my Halloween playlist. Pay attention to the lyrics and it makes sense: don’t go around tonight! Well, it’s bound to take your life. Theeeerrrreee’s a bad moon on the rise.

I hope it got you more in the spirit! If it didn’t, try eating some candy corn. Carve a pumpkin. Maybe buy a Halloween costume for your dog (or your cat, or your bearded dragon). I’ll see you guys next time!
