MTV is longer the trend setter it once was. The cable music network is suffering hard times and can’t compete with the internet.

I'm into a lot of different stuff. I set this up for several different reasons. 1. It's quick and easy. 2. It's related to my own personal research project 3. I got frustrated trying to blog elsewhere.

I am a film, TV, and pop culture historian. I love movies and TV, both old and new. I know the stars, directors, and movies of my lifetime very well. I tend to focus on the 1960s to present day.

I enjoy collecting movie and TV "stuff". I have a huge archive of entertainment memorabilia that I use for reference. I just really enjoy seeing (and receiving) the promotional items and merchandise that has been created by the entertainment industry.

movie and TV "stuff" includes
posters, lobby cards, press kits, photos, soundtracks, buttons and pins, promotional items, kids meal toys, cereal prizes, tie-in promotions, tie-in food packaging, non-sports trading cards, and more

my pop culture interests
commercials, candy, snacks, trends and fads, new technologies, fast food and national restaurants, gift cards, collectibles, and more

Social Networks
I am researching and testing out social networks and related free services for my own personal use. I am far from being an expert on the subject. I just want to learn more about them by doing.
