Introduction

This is the introduction.
I figure this blog needs some sort of introduction so I don't go off just talking about anything and everything with an explicit purpose.

I am new to the circles of blogging. Probably because I find that blog is a funny word. It seems like a word a little child would say when they're being bounced on their fathers knee, or something similiar.

Yes, this is called the Art of the Random Sex Scene. Ooh, shocking. The word sex. Its not a terribly important word. Most fourth graders have it in their vast "bad word" vocabularies. Whatever. Its an idea that comes from a personal observation about an author I enjoy. Nothing more. The blog might even get renamed, though I doubt it. It doesn't seem quite worth it.

I suppose this is all we need to know to start a Casablanca style relationship. Except that maybe I am novice pop culture fiend, and fully intend on working myself to becoming a master. I suppose its like karate, but without the belts. Mostly, my blogs will probably be about pop culture, movies in majority, since thats what I know.

Enjoy yourself and have a great day.
