The Truth Files

Stephen Colbert/Daily Show Love. House, Hugh Laurie, Black Adder, BritCom obsessiveness. Eddie Izzard quoting ad naseum. Self loathing. Other people loathing. Anything else I can loathe-fit that in there too. Tales of alcohol and dogs. The occassional night at the bar causing trouble. Mis-treating brain cells...Who needs them? No sex. No drugs-usually. Much rock'n'roll. Just trying to survive in 615. Y'know. The usual.

America-behold the power of Truth

Read down the page for thoughtfulness and shite of that nature. A more web savvy person would back date this but eh fuck.
I wish I could do SOMETHING with fan culture of actual POPULAR media...I mean, sure, I've got the WKU market cornered on musical stuff only I care about but y'know-there's these popular things-stuff that people are REALLY into encompassing shit and I want to be the person to write about this. Particularly my weakness, slash fiction. IT's so terribly written and unrealistic and yet I can't help but read it. Sadly, my writing skills don't stretch to me being able to write slashfic---I've actually had sex and adult interactions featuring interaction of that nature and thus I am unable (unwilling?) to write trad slash--no man, not even a man into getting bizzay with another man (or woman with woman-and I will admit it's easier to write femslash for some reason) would be so ridiculous as the authors of most slashfanfic---honestly it's so bad it's like Half Baked. The conscious laughter outweighs the shame.
Oh-and my other weakness-Colbert-here's the reason for the weakness---the audience gets to play the part of the jingoistic robots spewing the talking heads' ultra-conservative-ultra-pseudo Christian party line. It's an emotional release, a chance to be everything they despise, as acting out that which you hate is often the truest projection of person epistemology- an opportunity to express that which is anathema to their perception of reality without actually causing the harm (psychological or otherwise) that actual portrayal of those ideological opinions would cause...Well, screw a pooch---I have a paper topic for Belief. Right inside my area of fan culture but within the realm of political belief systems. I don't think I have ever had a paper topic on the first day of class-not even in any of the music classes.
