I learned shortly before starting this blog that the term "blog" is an abbreviation for "weblog," which is, of course, an online journal of thoughts, observations, and/or experiences.
But I just can't get past the violent sound of the word "blog." Some words just seem to denote their very meaning. Somewhat similar, I suppose, to an onomatopoeia. But not quite the same. After all, we aren't talking about "buzz" or "hummmmmmmm."
It sounds like an act of violence to me. As in "Yes officer...that is correct. He was defenestrated and then blogged!!"
Surely that is a Class D felony??!!

You are so funny!! Thanks for the giggle!
That is so true...the word "blog" has always seemed like an uncomfortable word--it could be a bodily function such as, "Hold on, I have to go hold Sheila's hair back, she looks like she's going to blog."
Despite the word, I am thoroughly enjoying YOUR blog!
