Welcome to TRO, the spot for me to talk about some of my favorite things! Hopefully they are yours as well, or will become so! I am blogging anonymously, as many of the things I discuss on here aren't attractive for my professional career, if you know what I mean ;)
The concept of this blog started years ago, when I came up with the name, but didn't really have any time to write anything down. But, with my kids now in school, I'm going to try to make this thing work. The basic idea of the blog revolves around my relatively sheltered childhood. I had tremendously little exposure to popular culture, as my parents were fairly conservative Christians, who had strong beliefs about limiting children's access to television, movies, music, etc. We never had cable, only had Disney movies and Christian movies, and a handful others (which is how my love of Star Wars got started), and only listened to Christian and instrumental music. While this may seem to some to be extreme, I don't regret it in the slightest, for one reason. I now, as a fully developed adult, get to experience anything I want for the art that it is, and little goes over my head. Additionally, I am grateful to have had a very innocent childhood free of many of the angst and troubles that many kids face (although I think that has less to do with media exposure, and more to do with the fact that my parents generally paid attention to what we were doing, and were involved with our lives).
My subsequent exposure to many things popular and artistic following my transition to adulthood has been one of my greatest joys in life, and I'd like to share some of my passions with you. I'll basically be reviewing movies, music, tv shows, and video games that are new to me, yet usually old in absolute terms. Whether this has one reader (me), or gets any exposure whatsoever, I am going to keep at this until I feel I have nothing else to say. Feel free to comment, follow, and share if you'd like to join in this journey with me!
