The “BLAH”g- A letter to the OG readers.
Everything is just a remix.
Last night, as I thought if names for this thing that I wished to begin, I was struck by what I thought was a “moment of genius”.
“Of course! Its got the be called “The Blah’g”. My chest swelled with pride.
But I know better than that. I can’t own a silly word I just created in my brain without checking for plagiarism!
So I looked it up on the internet and there it was. A full, but rather dull definition of blahg in the Urban Dictionary, complete with an example sentence.
Blahg- A blog you feel compelled to read but leaves you fantastically underwhelmed. To do so will typically take 5 minutes of your life & good eyesite that you'll never get back.
I'd write about my day but I so don't want to post a blahg- no one deserves that.
- Urban Dictionary
Well that settles that. My moment of human genius.
So did I search for another name? Absolutely not!
It would be called the “BLAH”g. All caps for the first four letters- because it stands for a bigger more important message (that I haven’t yet thought of) and more than half the word in double quotes. In my mind, I have more than passed the plagiarism test.
However, if I still happen to get sued for the same by the a bunch of 16 year old billionaires who own the Urban Dictionary, but can’t spell “eye sight”, so be it! The most it will do is give me another reason to laugh at our collective existence.
Because nothing is ever is original. All art, science, philosophical thought, human species, habit, and habitat, and everything under the sun- is a remix. Everything stands on the shoulders of something (maybe not all on giants) and this venture of mine too will be a remix of some kind albeit a really good one.
This “BLAH”g may become a blah about many things, or some things. I’m not sure yet. However, right off the bat, it acknowledges the aforesaid philosophical truth. I’m sure those who entertain this thought will stay to watch me both ridicule and attempt to inspire this world.
And those who don’t subscribe to this notion- Well, you’ll come back too. Because, reading me daily is a better “blahdge” than any other.
See what I did there.
Cheers,
S
