The beginning

The beginning and my first thoughts….

I hate the word blog. You know it shows up on a spell check device as incorrect spelling.
I did not graduate with a Masters Degree in English, nor have I any credentials in proper etiquette according to how the human race should write and speak. I just hate this word and I truly want to know who coined this poor slang-laced term.
I presume that an individual who suffers from perpetual carpel tunnel syndrome and bed sores attached to their behind have invented the word “blog”. Where did it come from?
The word is poor in grammar. Where and to what state has our culture planted its attention to such lesser speech? I spend significant time in high school listening to teenager’s converse. I live in a multi-culturally diverse city where English is a new language to many neighbors I meet.
The word blog offends me as an educated and perpetual student. I know that it was made up arbitrarily by puny intelligences.
Was it one person who had a sub par revelation?....... Perhaps
Was it 2 or 3 Silicon Valley think tank elitists abusing a spell checker?....Perhaps
I submit that despite whatever the darkly lit origins of this insulting ensign of our online times is that it’s a catalyst for expression. And it also serves another master.
That master is insecurity. Yes, I said insecurity. The majority of our society is insecure (the United States sill spends more on cosmetic surgery that any other country in the world does on standard medical care). This is good and depleting all at once.Many upon the majority need attention, and no one is without this need. We just manifest this need in negative or constructive constructs.

Do you show off?
Do you serve?
Do you starve to be seen and heard?
Do you cry in the night for more?
Do you complain too much?
Do you struggle to be appreciated?
Do you like to entertain?
Are you bored and need time to waste?
Do you find the computer as a friend that you always needed?

Well, look no further because the world wide phenomenon that is the blog, is now part of my day.Now then,I will present 2 statements and manifestos that will define my BLURG. What did he write you query? Yes, I will hitherto and desist the use of the word blog and ironically invent my own.
#1. ENTER THE BLURG you mouth breathers!!! I guess this is my special educated treatment and punk rocked ethos I usually subscribe too.
#2. I am easily entertained by just talking and discussing. I am going to participate, perpetuate, and advocate the BLURG. Yes, after I have complained and downsized the BLURG, I will now be a part of it. What a punk!
I will do this for several and too-be discovered motives.
They are:
a) I am going to entertain myself, and this will be for somewhat selfish reasons. I have so many unspoken thoughts, opinions, and views why not bore the planet and experiment with others. My experience dictates that most people get a rise way too easy and get so ticked off for so little, I might see what I can stir up, good and bad.….Honestly and as sure I know my own name – I could care so much less really if anyone reads or takes any of this melee of verbal attempt to entertain myself.
I always want to hold on to the belief that there are only a handful of aspects in life you should take seriously. A BLURG will not be one of those aspects.

b) Maybe I’ll make someone laugh or think differently. Maybe I’ll make someone want to come to Las Vegas and slap me one. If for some foreign notion that you find these BLURG’s attractive in any form of coming back for more, then good on ya! If not, pick up some other online, I don’t care.If you’ve read this far now, I’ll probably see you again on this page. Or you’re just wasting some serious time like me.

Later Skaters,

B
