welcome to the blackboard!
Have to admit, I’m not the best at what I do, and I’m certainly NOT wrecking my mind (and body) over abstract thought that might never matter to some. But yeah, I do have an insatiable interest in making my studies as practical as possible, hence the emergence of this poorly conceptualised ‘scrapbook’ on all pop cultured academia.
For those who aren’t aware, I’ve been working on my post-graduate thesis since February 2008. Most of what will be discussed here may be used to help my mates who are still in the midst of their course. However, I would encourage everyone to take a surreptitious interest in the stuff here. Who knows? It might very well change the way you surf for porn or watch Prison Break LOL.
These entries are also found on the main page, but I’ve organised them in a more sequential format for those who are too keen to engage the material.
