They Give Anyone A Blog...
There's this commercial airing where a guy was saying "they give anyone a blog." It was a put-down, diss or my favorite "the anti-complement." And I thought about it for a second (well, I thought about it until I saw 2 shrimps dancing to 'Night Fever' in my mind) and it's true.
But I don't think of it as a negative. Where would I put my thoughts (and no, the trash is not an acceptable answer) if they didn't. Where else would you have read about toilet paper, space debris, Star Trek, my disconnected railway of thoughts and having your own island if I didn't have a blog.
The answer is no where. Unless you were to break into my computer, but then the lawyers and cops would have to be called. I searched for the 'Anniversary of the Blog,' but found nothing. I think that's the first time I have not Googled what I have looked for (is Googled a verb...well, now it is). I have Googled 'where do I find recipes for fried lobster' and 'why does my computer shut down with no warning when I'm listening to David Hasselhoff's music' and I find things. OK, that last one is a lie. But I just Googled it and I found a quote from 30 Rock, so that's as good as finding an answer!! By the way, I just saw an ad for Scatt Recreation. Isn't a scat something animals do...or release? I realized that has no bearing on this article (well, either does Google) but I just wanted to share it.
Where else could you have read that last paragraph? I realize I'm asking a lot of questions and you probably thought that this was a non-participatory site, but the answer is 'what is a blog.' Well, the 'what is a' is optional, but I feel like I am really smart when I ask and answer things in a Jeopardy form. Try it. See, now don't you feel smart?
I really didn't know what I was going to say in this post, and I know, it shows. But the term 'they give anyone a blog' was just to ripe to pass up. Speaking of being too ripe, I smell something coming from the little one....

Best part is, they (love the non-defined "they") don't even really "give" us blogs...we just spawn them...like our kids. No license or training or qualifications required.
Funny post...good luck tending to the ripeness. ;)
