Blogs
When I first heard it, I hated the word blog. I refused to acknowledge it. I laughed at those who used it, and especially those who called themselves bloggers. I don’t know when exactally I changed my mind about the word, but at some point it just stopped seeming stupid to me.
The idea of blogging is something I’ve been familiar with since before it had a word, and I’ve never been particularly opposed to the idea. I guess giving it a word is appropriate, but in the future it would be better if some care was taken to create words that didn’t sound so inane. That said, the concept has a word now and it is pointless to struggle against it.
I’ve given in, and admited my self-indulgent posts about topics and ideas that matter to no one but myself comprise what is obviously a blog. I’ve been doing this longer than the word existed, but it is hard to deny that what I’ve been doing is blogging.
