Must...blog...now...

I don't know why, but I was suddenly overtaken by an incredible urge to blog. The weird thing is, I don't really have anything different, interesting or funny to say. Not that that's a reason not to blog. Because what would the blogosphere be without mindless, numbing stupidity?

And speaking of stupidity, isn't the word "blog" innately stupid? I mean, it sounds like something that boiled up from the depths of an upset stomach. Couldn't the inventor of the word "blog" have come up with something less guttural sounding? Prettier?

A blog is a "web log," right? What if instead we called them web letters - "bletters?" Because that's kind of what a blog is, right? An open letter to the world. And "bletter" kind of sounds like "better." And isn't that what blogging should really be all about? Making the world a "bletter" place?
