the lingering question

as i was staring at the screen this morning, trying desperately to think of SOMETHING to write a blog post about,

the big Q popped into my head:


i did what anyone would do in one of those deep, philosophical moments. i googled it.

the answer, apparently, is that they are not.

something about them going corporate and blah blah blah not enough personal inspiration and blah blah blah a generational gap or something or other.

then, i read that the new word for blog is tumblr.

we all know what tumblrs are, it's like when you find a funny pic of ryan gosling and write a 'hey girl' statement on top of it.

the thing i cannot for the life of me figure out - is the word tumblr really that much better?

maybe we could just call them blgs instead of blogs.

hey - that would be neat - because those are MY INITIALS...!


sigh. really, honestly, i'm stretching for a topic...perhaps tomorrow will be a better day to come visit :)

So maybe blogs aren't a social movement anymore, but I'm here to tell you that YOUR blog is still cool. Because you're cool. And no Google search will change that! :)

Eh. I never pretend to be cool anyway, so I will just let my blog reading/sometimes writing be yet another way in which I am uncool.

And tumblr seems very impersonal to me.

i think what i hear you both saying is that i should rename my blog a blg and try to think of something better to write about tomorrow :)

I came over here for inspiration...and learned (finally) what a tumblr is.

Ok, I thought a tumblER was a glass for alcoholic beverage?? And who says BlOGS are corporate and not personal? They obviously arent' reading US
