An Introductory Babble

It is a rare and often ridiculed person that openly names themself a geek; you might receive the derision of the many Jocks or the simple ignorance of any of the opposite sex, simply because you don't mind sitting back to watch Marty McFly or Sarah Connor do their thing. More recently, however, there has been a subtle yet noticeable incline in those who willing to stand up and really say that their favourite film is Star Wars or that they could list all thirteen dwarf's in The Hobbit. And this is fantastic!
Being a geek shouldn't mean you have to rub shoulders with the unfortunate Untouchables, after all is really different that one person can like football (soccer, for all you US readers) or The X-Factor and receive little or no heckling than a fan of The Abyss. 

The Urban Dictionary's first definition of the term 'geek' is a case in point:

"The people you pick on in high school and wind up working for as an adult"

This blog isn't meant to be a hate-filled place where geeks can come and please leaving trolling messages for all the people that have wronged them in their life, but a place where lovers of the arts, whether they be TV, video games, film or music, can come and catch some cool news, chat to others like them and potentially hear about stuff they hadn't yet been able to check out.
