Ok, so my last post about MangaViews.com may have rubbed people the wrong way. I’m afraid that if I’m going to get anywhere in the blogosphere at all, I’m going to have to enter some minefields. One of the biggest minefields I’ve skirted with in my blogging career wasn’t actually the Screen Play entry where I attempted a proposal for a video game designed to teach dating social skills to socially disabled people, nor was it the ever controversial anti-twincest post I made for personal reasons but had to deal with a bunch of comments from twincest fangirls where I understood where they were coming from but I still didn’t agree with them.

For those of you who don’t know what I mean by that joke, rent The Graduate, it has Dustin Hoffmann in it for crying out loud. HE RULES.

I want to do something new with my new year of blogging. It’s been a whole year since I’ve started blogging seriously and I’m tired of being stuck in the same box all the time of having to review just anime, manga and J-RPGs. I’m not quitting those things, it’s just that there’s a whole lot more going on in my life that I’m interested in that I could be talking about as well.
