Twilight, yet another rant

I begin my first blog post by saying this;

I am not a pimp, nor am I pimpin or having pimpin' times. So why the name you ask? Who knows? As I sat here staring at my laptop's illuminating soft glow I was troubled as to what to name this new blog of mine.

Then, with its technological razzle dazzle, the TV displayed a cartoon pimp, smiling with his gold teeth and royal purple attire. Topped with a spotted feather, wedged in his hat.

Or perhaps its was the times I spent with my good friend Damien, as we used our times in photography class creating a faux newsletter called 'Glens Pimpin' Times.' It was a lot of fun and if I were able to revisit my youth it would certainly be something I would continue. We got to the point where classmates and friends would pay us the reasonable amount of $1 to get their very own copy of our not so prestigeous work of written art.

Speaking of written art, I am hoping to become a writer, perhaps of the overally populated fantasy genre. Yet you won't see me spouting out nonsense about sparkling vampires in the sun's glorious rays.

Yes. That was a stab at the Twilight series.

I myself, have read and own the books, and seen the movies. I actually enjoyed reading the books, despite the pointless babbling, describing Edwards god-like being. Yet I can point out the many flaws in both the execution of the writing and the over-used storyline and one dimensional charecters. I for one am not a big fan of the whole 'Mary Sue' thing, and am getting quite annoyed with the fan girls. There have been reported cases where some of these fans have resorted to throwing acid at the Twilight haters, now tell me Twilight fans, would your precious 'Edward' or 'Jacob' condone such childish obsessive behaivour?

I think not.

With that I shall end my rant before I continue and bore you all with why I dislike the Twilight fandom. Since such rants have been done over and over again. In fact I'm probably one of the last people to jump on the whole 'Blogging about Twilight' Bandwagon. I'm so far behind that the bandwagon has lost a wheel and needs a new coat of paint, perhaps a nice firetruck red.

If you enjoy reading these little bits of information than Kudos to you, I truly appreciate the fact that you have taken a small amount of your time to read what is on my mind. I for one am unsure if this would ever prove to be an interesting read, but if you are sitting there, reading this now, I owe you a cookie. Laced with delicious goodness.

Perhaps I will write another blog in the new day, which by my clock isn't far off.
