Well folks, here we are. Blog post #15. What a ride so far! What do you think? Do you like what I'm up to? Are you satisfied with the quality, quantity, verbosity, grandiosity, atrocity, dichotomy, mediocrity, and downright wannabe blog posts I've posted in my blog so far?
Is there another term for "blog post"? (And why is it a post? There's no wooden pole involved. No structural support is needed for a blog. It's just text.) I am now, after 15 of these bad boys, quite a seasoned blogger (wink, wink), and you'd think I'd know the lingo by now. And yet, I am still using clunky terms like "blog post". I am a blogger, blogging a blog post into the blogosphere and here I am, looking up the terms to learn what it is that I think I'm doing. And apparently, there is no other term for it (I should know; I just looked it up). Some people call them articles, but others say that's a different thing. Most agree on "blog post". My problem with "blog post" is that it's just too damn cumbersome. Too wordy. Especially if I am to repeat it, er, repeatedly. Perhaps I will invent a new term...
Like, maybe, bloggy...
Okie dokie, then! I will now refer to my blog posts as... bloggies. It'll catch on. You'll see. All dozen of my Whatev Heads will start repeating my new term across the blogosphere. Spread your wings, little bloggy. Spread your wings and fly!
Alright, now that that is settled, back to my main point. Which I didn't really have. Do I ever really have a point in my... (wait for it...) bloggies? Granted, I'm probably supposed to. That's likely how blogs work elsewhere in the blogosphere. But, I am who I am, and I give you what my brain spews out. (That could've been a good candidate for what I call this thing. "Brainspew". It's got a somewhat disgusting ring to it. I like it!)
If I allow myself to be perfectly candid, not many people are actually reading my bloggies. I have a few kind and generous friends that signed up to be members of my little Whatev Head club, but only a couple of you are actually reading these things. I keep telling myself that it may take a while for this to catch on. I keep telling myself that fame and fortune are distant goals. It ain't gonna happen in 2020. Not much good has come out of 2020 anyway, am I right? But eventually (and I'd like it to be within my own lifetime, if possible), it would be fun to have a tremendous Whatev Head Army at my disposal. What would I do with that kind of following? Well, rule the world of course! Isn't that why anyone does anything? (*see my bloggy, "Hindsight")
So, bloggy #15 is a milestone. One, we concluded that we will begin calling these "bloggies". Two, this could have been called "Brainspew", which likely would have led us in a very different direction. Three, we reiterated my secret desire to rule the world, somehow through my blog. And four, we apparently became a "we" at some point throughout bloggy #15. Not sure how that happened, exactly. Not knowing how things end up the way they do seems to be a theme in here. ("In here"? Since when was this a place? It's a blog, not a location. Whatever...)
In any case, all 2 of you avid Whatever This Is readers: Stay tuned for #16 (Stay tuned? What does that even mean?). It's bound to be a doozie! So hang onto your socks! (Don't even ask...)
