It’s a proven fact that everyone on the internet loves “blogs” except for me.  I hate them so much even that I refuse to write the damned word without quotation marks surrounding it (I do the same whenever I’m forced to use other web-terms like ”lol” “wtf” or “link-dump”).  But I suppose I should get with the times.

The truth is, I’ve always found myself somewhat limited by my desire to keep my journal from turning into a “blog.”  I’ve always tried to use that space for real stories with some possible literary merit, as opposed to the short off-the-cuff posts you find in most “blogs.”

This, on the other hand, will be a place for any random thing that enters my mind and seems possibly entertaining.  It may even contain some “link-dumping” or entertainment media found around the internet.  It will hopefully stay more consistently-updated and less bound by the short story format than my journal.

As for the name…I’ve found that the internet loves meaningless buzz-words, and for the most part, anytime someone combines two words to describe something that already has a name, its thought of as forward-thinking and brilliant.

So, here’s my entry into the annals of internet history.  The combination of the words “blog” and “shorts” to form the seemingly brand new word:  BLORTS.

The internet should love it…
