About
Who is this guy and why does he overthink everything?
The shortish version.
I think too much about things I love. Always have. This is where that goes.
My name is Serg. I was born in the Bronx in 1987 and I moved to Seattle in 2012. I am still not fully sure how that happened but here I am. Pacific Northwest weather, New York teams, a random Cowboys for some reason, no apologies.
I built this site because I kept having thoughts that were too long for a tweet and too specific for a group chat. About a Knicks game. About a book I finished at 1am and could not stop thinking about. About a wrestler doing something so bizarre and so perfect that it needed to be documented. So I started writing them down and putting them somewhere.
This is not a review site, exactly. It is not a sports blog, exactly. It is not a pop culture newsletter or a personal journal or a podcast that somehow became text. It is all of those things depending on the day. What stays consistent is the voice and the standard. I do not write about something unless I actually have something to say about it. I do not do takes for the sake of takes. If I loved something I will tell you why. If something frustrated me I will tell you that too. And if something is so good it broke my brain a little I will probably write 2000 words about it at midnight.
Sports were the first language I ever learned. Baseball came first. I grew up playing it, loved it, was pretty good at it until injuries had other plans for me. The Yankees were always home base. Basketball and football came next and they stuck hard. Knicks and Cowboys, New York through and through with one completely random Dallas detour that I cannot fully explain and have stopped trying to. I know enough about all three to talk about them with confidence and I will.
I started as a Nintendo kid. That is where it all began. PlayStation took over eventually and became home base but the honest answer is I have no real allegiances when it comes to gaming. PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox, PC. I just want good games. Always have. The platform does not matter. The game does.
Wrestling has been a constant in ways I did not always admit publicly but absolutely do now. Books came back to me recently after a long time away and I am making up for lost time as fast as I can. I have strong thoughts on movies and TV that I have been sitting on for years and they are finally going somewhere. And then there is everything else. Space, time, history, people, random things that pop into my head at odd hours that I cannot stop turning over.
I know there are a lot of people like me out there. People who think too much about too many things and just need somewhere to put it.
These are my thoughts. Hopefully you find something you like.
