A blog about what makes me tick.
Let me start off by telling you who I am. I’m 27, I love sex, I’m medicated, and I love video games. Here’s why:
Sex is awesome. It’s something everyone can relate to. It’s pleasurable. It’s fun! So why is it that so many people have such faux pas about it? And why do the rest of us have to hide how we feel about it or face being an outcast? Let this blog be a cry out against the darkness that clouds the issues surrounding sex. I want to discuss things honestly and frankly with nothing watered down, but I also want to discuss issues related to sex, such as relationships, kink, and so much more.
Drugs. I take a lot of drugs. No, I don’t mean the illegal kind. I’m bipolar (type 2 for those in the know), and I take a lot of pills so I can function like a “normal” person. I know a lot of people have stigmas about the mental-health industry, and I was one of them for a long time. At a very young age—too young for me to remember—I was diagnosed with medical Depression. And damn was I depressed. I’ll talk a little bit about my experiences later, but it wasn’t Depression that I had. Throw away your preconceptions because being bipolar is nothing like you probably think.
And video games. Video games are art. There, I said it. Now deal with it. Start with the written word, an idea. Take a bunch of written words and make a story, a poem, a book. If you want to provide more detail, a picture is worth a thousand words. In a film you get 60 pictures per second. Now take those 60,000 words per second and give the interpreter the option to openly manipulate them. Now you’re dealing with 60,000 words—ideas—per second multiplied by the infinite possibilities of the human imagination. That makes a video game, and that’s why they’re the highest form of art available today. The problem is that they’re also the newest form of art, and they are barely beginning to mature as a viable medium.
I look forward to exploring these things with you, and let’s have some fun with it. Yay for my inaugural blog!
