I’m starting a new blog (as much as I am growing to hate that term) for work which I want Google to find – so I’m linking to it here. You know the drill by now. Within a few months it will become a wealth of search engine marketing and search engine optimization information. So if you care, stay tuned.
Back to the word ‘blog’ and its origins. The term stems from a mish-mash of the words “web” and “log” which when used together was how folks referred to online journals, once upon a time. Google’s Blogger (which I use here – but will soon replace) has made it so easy to have your own ‘blog’ that I’m seriously waiting for my grandmother to send me her URL. I’d guess that www.dontbecheeky.com would probably be her first choice. Or maybe something along the lines of www.getthosedamnsquirrelsoutofthebirdfeeder.net. Regardless, I am in mourning for the medium. Johnny and Janey Everyman are doing to the blog what the white man did to Jazz and hip-hop. Speaking of which, have you heard Kenny G’s new version of Straight Outta Compton?
This is all very fancy talk from someone who started his blog half an hour ago.

Fancy nothing. You have to visualize it. Picture it, pluck it, pull it down and put it in your pocket. Then pull pull a cock out of same pocket to slap you on the forehead with.

What is Kenny G now painting his face black.

To date, you are the only “blog” that peaks my interest enough to keep me coming back daily. Where else can you learn how to create your own porn name, argue about liberal politics, find out what cheese is best for dinner parties (gorgonzola, btw), hear about the smelly man you sat next to on the T or see Monsters stupid comments to EVERYthing you put on here? (Cold soup and chicken sandwiches dude? Where did you read that?) all on one site?
Good stuff! Keep on blogging Dave! And for the record, I would log on to dontbecheeky.com.
