What's in a Name?

Blogs. Who coined the term, the word, the verb? Funny our modern method of communicating sounds so knuckle dragging cromagnon-ish.


I conducted a thorough and comprehensive investigation into the Latin origins of the word Blog, and do you know what the guy said? The root words are web and log....*....


Good lord*+'... my brain, not unlike a slinky, walked it's pointless self in its slow descending manner (as is a shoogely slinky's only ability) to grasp the sheer genius of it all.


By genius I mean lazy assed.


I am now going to try and wow you with my suggestion....are you sitting down? comfy? ready?













Whadd'ya think? What do you mean there was nothing there?!

Of course it's blank !!! Everything's indeterminate, undefinable!


Words, as are blogs, have only ever been symbols and conventions. Sounds.


Kind of like the artist formerly known as....*....who unwittingly managed to inadvertanly create the longest 'name' ever, in his attempt to reduce it to a $...er...wait...wrong symbol, close enough, it'll have to do, Microsoft never incorporated him into their marketing plan or Symbol chart.


So, words and nouns cannot define a tangible, let alone an intagible 'anything'.


Never have. Never will.


If one wanted to actually be accurate, one would need to preface everything they wish to refer to with something like; "this __" [insert word: blog] is the symbolic sound we agreed to make to refer to that which we can't even define in any fixed way but you know what I mean right?

....as we exhaust our lungs and brain of all oxygen in our inexplicable need to communicate


So, Blogs, along with everything else, can only ever be known through immediate experience - kind of like reading this now! No, wait, now this now! NOW. Now this now NOW.

The only moment we ever have is this one...wait...now this one....wait ....this one over here!!


and so on.....ad infinitum.... and that is why movies should read The Now when they are over.

Hang on, I may have lost the plot, what was I saying!?!


So I was a lazy ass for not coining a new term for blog in half an hour.

Do you know this sound?! thlbplbpllbpblb*+;....

Tomorrow: I'm going to try and surprise even me...so exciting!
