About Me and Popless
They laugh at me because I’m different. I laugh at them because they’re all the same.
I was born September of 1979 – a pure Virgo. There are many ways to describe me, and perhaps obsessive-compulsive is one of the most accurate. I am PAINFULLY cerebral, too. A single thought exhaustingly branches out into hundreds of other inter-connected ideas that both amazingly and unfortunately make tremendous sense in the end. When a machine gets invented that lets you switch your mind on and off, rest assured I’ll be first in line to get it.
I‘ll be meticulous about something to the point of not being able to continue with what I’m doing before the issue is taken cared of. Like this blog. This, in a way, is a tool for me to expand my skillset with new things such as coding, designing, and a little bit of SEO. However, what happens is that the actual writing lags when I get so worked up on learning a code and applying it on here.
Oh, speaking of blogs, why am I blogging? I’m not sure if I can deliver what I thought of to offer. I have seen tons of personalized sites on the blogosphere and I’m sure you will agree, we kind of have to know who we are first before we can actually allow our personalities to carry over on our blogs. I had to figure out who or what I am so I can bring that essence to Pop Culture and Less. So in the middle of creating this About page, for about 2 hours’ worth of blank stares at my computer screen, I tried finding myself. A few experiences ran across my mind along with the things I learned from them. Somehow though nothing weighed enough to become my very persona; nothing until I realized where every event has led to. It’s something I’m not exactly proud of, people usually take it against me. But then, it is also because of that idea that I suddenly became more inspired to nurture this blog to its possible maturity. That perhaps when people finally witness my story and history in black and white (white and black), I become successful in staying as such.
I’m jaded.
I‘m an excruciating existentialist. Now I’m not going to make you my shock absorber or anything like it but please also permit me to have the prerogative to not go into the details of what makes me uber cynical. Be warned, however, that this blog will sometimes get too dark that it will border depressing. No worries, I’ll simply be here on a normal day to put popular stuff on the limelight, turn them around so we can look at their dark sides, and learn from what we see.
A Word on the Writing
I might be several things, but ironically, a writer is not one of them. Despite my current post as a Web Writer, I’ve never looked at myself as someone who can masterfully weave words into a perfect story that the folks at Webster would cry tears of joy to be acquainted with me. I’m only fueled by a genuine love for the English language as I pointed out at SEM Laguna. I’d like to think that my writing skill rely instead on what I know, how fast I can learn something new, what my mind is capable of thinking up, and the fact that I’ll do everything for you to understand them the first time.
