Bloggers of the Bloggers of Bloggers

Quite often, Ill spend half a post explaining why its taken me so long to write for you guys.
Occasionally I spend even longer. So for this post I have a special treat for you:
Im going to do that for this entire post, YAY, isnt that exciting?

Thought I'd warn you before I jump right into it.
(I'm nice that way, arent I)

Well, this was spurred by a constant stream of questions with little answers refering to the mind of a bloggist. And what makes us.... Tick.

So after a year of indirectly blogging about blogging I'm shaking things up now, and directly blog about blogging!

Now. blogging is an interesting suject for me, beacuse these days Im not really sure if I enjoy it anymore or not. These days its more of an obligation. Even though every time i do it i get theis huge swell of pride.
this is the thing though, when I blog. No one should reall take all of it so seriously because my opinions and views change faster that the wings of a hummingbird.... on speed.

Especially on the nature of tPoP, which is constantly flitting (I like that word, I belive it is a Timotei creation) between wanting to: review and test my journalistic skills, talk about troubling issues in the games industries, talk about the world in general, bitch about life (which i told myself I would never do, and do perspective pieces on life.

Currently, I'm kinda going for all of the above, how am I doing?

Anyway, back to the planned post.

First of all, where did the word "blog come from? what does it mean? is it like, an acronym for.... Blue Lightning Oyster Gang (thats a great name for a band). or maybe Benevolent Long Opinion Garrison?
I would research this but I have little bandwidth so it would take dykeloads of time (thats right, Im using a sexual Orientation Colloquialism as a unit of measurement, wanna fight about it?)

So I guess I'll just continue on this post.

my next area of discussion, (one that I actually have an answer for) Is why bloggers constantly blog about blogging.
In my personal experience this is beause we have so many ideas running through our heads all the time, for posts and setups and stuff jsut you know... revolving around blogs.
But when the push comes to shove (what does that mean?) our trains of thought, or at least mine always end up in the same place: "why do people care about this and why should i make a blog about this shit?"
That leads always to the final post, which ends up being mostly about the blog. I swear that if I could post while walking ome from school (where most of my pondering is done) This blog would be very different. Possibly better, though thats a matter of opinion. I mean? what do you like about this blog? Is it the blogging of blogging, or the actual writings of things that move me... besides blogging.

Well, I had a few other ideas to bring to the table, but I'll bring those up in a later post.
And knowing me, my next post is probably going to be in about... say.... a month?

see you all later.
