Welcome to the Cult of Pop.
I'm about as experienced with blogs as I am operating forklifts and lightspeed drives, so you'll have to forgive me if this isn't the prettiest endeavor.
MANIFESTO:
To create a group of original writings, focusing on one man's observations about specific items in popular culture. These writings are generally not influenced by other's thoughts and ideas, except for when they are, in which I will reference them.
WHO ARE YOU?
Ed Staples, aka Coop Staples. To summarize that enough that you'll care about who I am, I'm a little fish in a big pond. I'm an aspiring artist, and jack of a few trades associated with that label, but master of none. I'm on a local campus radio station, and... oh, hell, you'll figure it out.
HOW OFTEN WILL YOU UPDATE?
I'll try to post at least once a week. In the unlikely event that this blog gains popularity, i might increase or decrease this at my whim. Yes, I'm basically saying 'don't let this get popular'.
WHAT TOPICS CAN WE EXPECT YOU TO WRITE ABOUT?
Well... This isn't going to be a celebrity gossip blog, or anything of that kind. More likely, it will focus on certain pockets of geekdom, and analyze them as deeply as I feel necessary. Similarly, you won't find a lot of political activism, product reviews or intellectual discourses here on Cult of Pop.
WHAT TONE WILL YOUR POSTINGS HAVE?
Probably somewhere between sarcastic and obsequious.
WHAT THE HELL DOES OBSEQUIOUS MEAN?
From what I can remember, back when I used to play a game called 'Starflight' on my Sega Genesis, it is the height of toadying. Almost to the point of worship.
WHY WOULDN'T YOU JUST POST A DICTIONARY DEFINITION?
Fuck you, that's why.
