I absolutely, positively, one hundred percent despise the word, “blog”. It sounds like a sickness, or a verb one performs as a result of being sick.

There are people who live and breathe them. They link up with other opioninati’s out there, and feel they’re in a closed loop of specialdom. Anyone outside the loop is “not important” or “not relevant”. Its a very interesting foolishness to believe that non-bloggers aren’t important to the “web”. I don’t think that any of these people, many of whom took to the web in the late nineties or early aughts, would even think to question the grossness of the word, “blog”.

I’ve been aware of the “blogging phenomenon” for a long time, even back when they were called “personal webpages”. Now, when I look out over the vast web every day I see the word “blog” tacked on to gazillions of other jargon-y buzzes.

Its enough to make me blog all over the carpet.
