HAVE A BLOG...

I am flattered and amused that I am so often asked:   “Have you written any new blogs lately?” …followed by: “I enjoy your blogs…”    (…or something like that)    I so despise the word….B-L-O-G.   Why can’t we call it what it really is…some self-glorifying, verbally masturbatory need we all have to exorcise our inner narcissist!

I guess “blog” is shorter and has a better roll off the tongue.

Anyhow…I hesitate in self-soubt because I think: “who the heck wants to read my mad rantings?”  Apparently YOU do, or you wouldn’t be here…wasting your time…reading from the inner workings of my mind.  So- you are, in fact, facilitating the inflation of my sense of importance in this world…right now.  If you start your own blog- I will surely return the favor.   I mean- I guess it is just where we are in society…the society in which those of us technologically advanced…technologically “privileged”…with less pressing problems…come to participate.   Maybe it is the *new* way in which we all get to know each other…as opposed to that tired, but time tested way (you know- talking to each other).   No.  We are all too busy, and too booked, and pre-engaged, and indisposed…we are all a bunch of twerps.  Lonely twerps sitting at our computers…delaying the actual work we have to do…entertaining ourselves by thinking we can understand anybody else.    Maybe it’s just independent advertising.   Hey- that’s better than a car ad…

Well- sign me up!  I like to write…I like to rant and rave…occasionally I talk about important things, and that may have some positive effect somewhere/somehow.  I hope.

And, most importantly…some people just think I’m funny.
