I've been blogging for a LONG time...long enough that I remember Blogger in beta and my old blogger blog was eaten up in some revamp of the system. I've blogged on my own domains, random platforms, Blogger again, etc. I am not new to the game.
All that is to say: I don't give a damn what people think about me when I blog, nor do I care if I seem to copy other bloggers or steal a trendy idea. If I'd trademarked my own blogging styles and ideas a million years ago, there would be a few less cyber-millionaires in the world. What you see here is what I write, what I am, what I think, what I care about. I am far, far past worrying what the trend of the moment is.
I swear...much like a sailer, frankly. I do not condone it in "real life", nor do I speak in such language in front of my children. There is a time and a place for profanity and my personal theory on it is this:
Those who can speak basic English correctly have the go-ahead to illustrate it with profanity, vulgarity, irony, satire and allusions at will. Those who do not understand singular indefinite pronouns or the parts of speech, simply look like idiotic trash when they choose to do so.
There is no skill, whatsoever, in using the f-word as 6 parts of speech in one paragraph...UNLESS, it was intentional attempt to stretch one's command of verbiage...and then? well, then, you don't throw it in a FB update or pissy conversation in the hall at school. There IS a difference.
I won't link my blog to my FB, but I will mention it, am sure, merely because I have friends from both worlds. I used to have several blogs, and I will again, soon. Blogs are good for the soul, whereas FB not always so much.
If you are reading here, then you are reading in MY space, not FB or the public school system's,my other employer's or any that is approved by my Mom and Dad. Just keep that in mind, please.
