I have another blog that's far more serious. I will use this to talk about pop culture, relationships, humorous observations about my life. Sometimes it will be sad, if I am sad. Maybe I'll strike a nerve and get a book deal. Ha. Fat chance.
Who am I? A 26 year old anti-racist, feminist, pro-choice, progressive, African-American, Native American, native NYCer with an Ivy League undergraduate degree and a Masters in ESOL teaching. But for the purposes of this site, I like trivia, movies, music, TV, traveling and smart women. I don't like dudes (or anyone) who mistreat or disrespect women, minorities, LGBT folks or other disadvantaged groups. We'll talk about all of that.
Why Captain Blastin? It's a long story, but Captain because I was in charge of a big trip a few years ago, and Blastin because my name is Justin and I'm Black.
The Beastie Boys were talented but jerky young dudes who grew up into conscientious but still talented men. Young folks could learn a lot of lessons from watching them mature.
