Today's Obsession: This blog

Everyone has an obsession, even if they don't want to believe it. The word seems to have a negative connotation, but the way I see it, to obsess is to love, and the purpose of this blog is to share things in entertainment that I love, or find interesting, or that are simply awesome.

I've attempted to blog before, but every time I sat down to write, it felt forced. Here, I am in my own element - a place where I know what I like and I'm not afraid to share it with the world. Hopefully, people who read this blog will be introduced to new things, ideas, artists, etc. that will in turn inspire them. That's my whole purpose. The world is filled with undiscovered, overlooked people and I always get excited when I stumbled upon someone or something new.

I will admit, I follow pop culture more than politics and I'd much rather read Entertainment Weekly than the New York Times. While Britney's latest troubles and Lindsay's legal woes certainly don't compare to important world issues, they are entertaining and provide water cooler gossip. Hey, you know you follow the lifestyles of the teenage trainwrecks at least a little bit, even if by accident.

So, once I get going with this blog, feel free to comment about my obsessions, as well as obsessions of your own. Whether it's a great new indie artist, an awesome Web site or anything that gets you excited (in a PG-rated way, obviously) - I'd love to hear about it.
