At first glance

            Ideally, this first post will be the most boring of all the posts I ever make on this new blog. This blog is my second blog. I love movies and Hollywood, so I thought I would use my blogging powers to do something about it. This blog is actually a bit of a game. I first came across this game sitting in a car one rain evening with my friend Colin. This game is sort of like “6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon,” but less retarded. In this game, the first person says the name of an actor or actress. The next person then says that that person was in so and so movie with so and so actor or actress, and then it continues. So, for example, Person A would say, “Colin Firth.” Then Person B would say, “Colin Firth was in Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason with Renée Zellweger.” Then, Person A would say, “Renée Zellweger was in Empire Records with Liv Tyler,” and so on and so on. The game could most likely never end. It is frowned upon to repeat a person, but not illegal. As this is a blog, and I am the only person writing it, I will be playing against myself, something I am fairly used to as an un-athletic white loser growing up in a primarily black high school. I will be trying to make this as entertaining as possible and will be most likely posting every day. Also, there is one rule: NO RULES.

            At first, the connections will be relatively straightforward. They will generally have fun tid-bits thrown in to make you chuckle… cause you know what they say, “ A chuckle a day has been shown in several university testing’s to reduce the effects of osteoporosis and keep it away.” So, you got that going for you.

            After one year (378 days), I will see how far we’ve come and who ended up relating to whom. That’ll be so ace. Well, here we go again…
