Introduction

• 

Hello, everyone and welcome to my small space on the internet. My name is John and I am 50 years old. I am a lifelong fan of comics, science fiction, fantasy and horror. I guess some would call me a textbook nerd, because I love it all. I used to have a blog where I talked about all of these wonderful things but I deleted it a while back because of personal reasons I'd rather not go into. 

I'm disabled and a homebody so I have a lot of time on my hands. Rather than get lost in my head, which can be a very bad thing if past experiences are anything to go by, I distract myself by doing a lot of reading and watching a lot of television. After I closed my last blog down, I tried other hobbies. They were fun and I really got into adult coloring for a while.I had lots of joy coloring some of my favorite comic book characters. But folks, I'm old and have a touch of arthritis in my hands, so while I may enjoy coloring, I just can't do it like I used to. 

So I've just kind of been floating around in limbo, searching for something else to occupy my time. I used to love writing reviews of my favorite TV shows, comics and movies. As a person with severe social anxiety, it's kind of hard to find people to talk about this stuff with in person and social media is great for making friends, but sometimes I just like to sit down, examine something I love and write about it. 

Here, in this blog, I hope you find reviews of my all my favorite stuff. Be it a comic book I fell in love with, or want to bitch about, an episode of one of my favorite television shows that wowed me or frustrated me beyond reason (I'm looking at you, Flash) I hope to discuss it here. 

Why am I starting a blog again instead of doing something like a podcast? Well, writing was very therapeutic for me in the past and it was something that also helped fill those long hours of the day instead of letting my mind wander to the dark places I mentioned earlier. 

Also, there's an old saying that goes, 'He has a face made for radio.' Unfortunately, I have a voice made for writing. I get nervous and stammer when I try to talk to people and I can just imagine how that would sound on a podcast. So I'm going to try the blogging thing again and see how it goes. Maybe I'll even talk about myself some more instead of just writing about comic books and television shows. We'll see. Welcome to John's Rambling Reviews and thanks for reading.
