What is this f***ing blogging stuff anyway?

What is this fucking blogging stuff anyway? I don't think I have ever read a blog before in my entire life. I know, I know, where have I been hiding under a fucking rock? Not really, I just always thought that it was kind of dumb. Frankly, because I was naive not realizing that it was just basically the online version of a journal. My questions are: why is it called a blog? Why is it called blogging? Who is ever going to read this stupid thing? Now I know that the word blog is short for weblog. I also know that blogging is the equivelent for writing in your journal. I also am aware that no one but myself and anyone that I ask to read this will ever read my blog.

If you are reading this you are probably asking yourself why is this man, who is very ignorant to the ways of the web, even trying to start a blog? Well, I have an answer for you. I think it is because I wish to write. I wish to write anything and everything, books, movies, stories, poems, etc. This line of thinking reminds me of a quote from a movie. I believe that movie is Throw Mama from a Train, but I am not 100 percent sure of that so if I am wrong don't fine me or be mad at me or arrest me but here is the quote: "A writer, writes, always." Now my dilegence to this point has been lacluster at most. I am hoping that this blogging thing will help me to write daily and keep things moving for me in the writing department.

Now as to your next question, what is this blog going to be about? This blog will be about anything I fucking want. My thoughts about anything and everything may be in this blog. I might choose to write about a movie I just saw or about some issue that I have become aware recently in the news or maybe my thoughts on being a dad or whatever.

I do have a disclaimer. My writing may not always be correct, you may see some errors in my grammer or spelling. Don't condemn my blog for such trivial things. Because editors are supposed to help the writer out with that kind of stuff or maybe not. I'm not really sure since I have nothing to present to an editor.

I hope all who read this blog (oh my god i can't believe i'm doing this) enjoy my writings. This is my blog and these are my thoughts.
