Embrace Your Inner Geek

I have to confess - I'm a geek. I listen to video game music for fun. I look up movies on IMDB after I watch them. I like learning different instruments. I watch all the special features on DVDs and even watch the commentaries. I'm even the go-to Star Wars Geek in every social circle I'm a part of. (Challenge me at Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. I dare you.) There, I said it.

Okay, now your turn.

No, really - admit it! All of us have an inner geek inside of us. I'm willing to predict that last season of LOST was your favorite, you actually liked the last Star Trek movie, you can recite every quote from Anchorman, and you wish all movies came in 3D like Avatar. It's cool. You're definitely not alone. It's been a long time coming, but "Geek Culture" is finally hitting mainstream!

Don't believe me? Just look around. Video games are being converted into movies faster than Nike shoes out of a sweatshop. New media has people leaving behind their stupid phones for smart ones. Sci-fi movies like Avatar and Star Trek are being considered for the Best Picture Oscar (FTW!). Even our girlfriends and wives are playing video games, thanks to the Wii.

Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.

To fully embrace my geekdom, I've changed and remodeled the blog. Not only with this center around the music business, but the entertainment industry as a whole - music, movies, video games, you name it. (With some randomness thrown in as well;) Okay, I know - the color scheme is the same, but you can't get much better (go Dawgs!). I'm getting by with a little help from my friends - Jordan Lynn and Josh Clark, who will also be contributing to the blog. These guys are amazingly smart and hilarious so I can't wait to see what they come up with.

So embrace your inner geek and know it's okay to geek out once and awhile. Even you, Trekkies - now is your time to shine.
