By the time you're reading this it'll be 2018 and I just want to say a very big thank you to those who read my blog and have been following from the get go and those that read now.  Seeing people read the things I write makes me so happy and has motivated me to try to be better at my blog posts(I proof read now... To an extent) so once again,thanks

    It's a new year so I just wanted to say I'll post more music stuff, I really love music especially hip hop and I know some of you night not be into that so I just wanted to tell you ahead of time and my friend Andrea told me it's the polite thing to do. I'll also make posts about Gaming even though I don't have a console or PC and cartoons and anime too! So if you liked the little posts I made about Anime and Cartoons,I'll make more of that.

    This isn't as long as my normal posts because it's not really a "full post" but more like an "FYI note". So far the blog has gotten over 4k views and am very proud of that and I appreciate those of you who read and share with friends,colleagues and family. My goals for this blog in 2018 are pretty high but I know with great folks like you we'll work something out. Here they are;

- Grow my followers
-Make more engaging posts
-Get an active comment section(I really want this)
-get followers on instagram@thaexquisitenerd and twitter @daboredomkiller
-Hit 10k views and possibly 2-3k email subs.

 I know with the kind of great readers I have all these(or even more) might happen in 2018. I'm sorry if I'm sounding cheesy but I mean everything I've said here! I'm very happy of how far this blog and myself have come thus far,Thank You A lot!.

Why I Love: One Piece

      Last year was quite a hard time for me, it was my final year at the university and for what  felt like the first time in my life, I was truly struggling with school. Not the “oh I’m scared I might not do well” but I was genuinely doing bad. This wasn’t because I wasn’t reading or not putting in the work, it was just because I was given a terrible lecturer as a supervisor. I used to think I had a good relationship with him but during the course of the second semester I began to see a shift in his personality and obvious hate towards me. As someone who struggles with insecurities, I was constantly insulted and ridiculed for no real reasons and even though I knew what he said about me wasn’t true,  I was still hurt. Hurt not just because of how he made me feel bad but hurt because the idea of failing and disappointing my parents and family in general was killing me on the inside and I had no means to express how trapped I felt. You’re probably wondering, “Why...

First Listen: SZA - SOS

much like Kendrick Lamar with Mr Morale & The Big Steppers , SOS is several things. underwhelming being one. the twenty three song album is not what you expect of an artiste that's been away from the solo scene for five years. note: is it a bad album? no. so does it possess the dawg? sadly, no. SOS is that album with a poorly mixed intro, forgettable songs, i-will-need-more-listens, and (of course) a few songs that are actually GREAT ! we all know the theme of the album but one of the reason it fails might be because too much is happening. one minute it's rnb/soul, next minute it's (t)rap. i mean... F2F is rock ffs. there's also lyricsm that reminds us of kdot. coincidence? it's definitely not an album i'll be spinning often but hopefully a couple listens changes my opinion . & just so we're clear, CTRL is the better album and Phoebe Bridgers is amazing!

Samurai Champloo: Why Is It So Good?

   In the year 2005, the anime community had one of their gems; Samurai Champloo come out. Its well written and set in an extremely lively version of old school (Edo) japan. Its storyline is simple, two extremely skilled yet very different swordsmen Mugen and Jin have fate bring them across a young outspoken lady Fuu who helps them out of a tough spot and insist on them accompany her to find the very vaguely named “samurai who smells of sunflowers”. This serves as the catalyst that carries us on a well voiced, animated, and extremely stylistic adventure across japan towards the course of its 20 plus episode run. Here are some of the reasons I think Samurai Champloo is so enjoyable   1. TONE AND SETTING: One of the reasons it works so well is that even with its fictional story, its grounded in reality without being overly dramatic or serious. Most films, shows and games based off old eras like this usually take themselves super serious and in the process turn out being bla...

Who Would Win? Batman Vs Spiderman

Okay before I start I'd like you all to know I am not being partial in any way at all. I had this argument with my friend Andrea a couple of days back and now I feel like sharing on who I think would win,but I realised they are two perspective 1-choosing a winner based on accomplishment 2-choosing a winner based on powers or strengths 1- this perspective is basically saying "oh look at this let's check out both characters accomplishments",they both have taken down a large amount of enemies ranging from smart villains to dumb ones,they've both faced foes that are big and strong. So it's only reasonable to think Batman would win here,not by a long shot though because Spiderman is a force to be reckoned with. Batman has basically done more important things,he has defeated Superman severally,dodged darkseid's omega beams,outsmarted braniac,I mean the man is a bit fluent in kryptonian and he knows several martial art skills and he's just a human......
