Back when I was finishing up my first year of university I was struggling to find the motivation to study for finals and as a way of wasting time on the interwebs I started blogging.
Actually "blogging" probably isn't the best word. That first day I wrote about 8 single sentence posts about how I still hadn't got any studying done. I was essentially tweeting before the advent of Twitter. Too bad stating inane aspects of your life several times a day was as uninteresting then as it is now.
That old blog eventually morphed into a place of inside jokes between me and a few friends, before Facebook came along and everyone abandoned those old MSN Spaces.
Well some things never change. This blog was also born out of procrastination when posting here somehow seemed like a better idea than studying for my English final.
And as it turns out it was definitely a better idea.
My English final was from 9 till 12 this morning and despite only studying for 30 minutes last night, things went fine. I may have done slightly better with days of intense study, but not enough so to make the stress worth while.
So since I have a Physics final Monday I may as well try this blog-instead-of-study thing again.
So here's an explanation as to why The Blargg is called "The Blargg"
1. Its an onomatopoeia describing the noise my brain makes as it spews it's idea soup all over this web page.
2. "Blog" comes from the words "Web Log" But that's far too formal for your good Captain Ook, its like something a stuck up Commodore of the British navy would have. Pirate Captains would be far less formal, they wouldn't have "Web Logs" they would have "Web LARRRGGs"
3. A Blargg is an enemy from one of my favorite video games EVAR, Super Mario World. They are one of the 10 best creatures ever conceived, and they look like pure awesome.
4. ???
5. Profit.
Really I'm pretty sure I'd eventually regret whatever name I chose, and I was too lazy to come up with something clever. Also saying "BLARGG-BLOG" repeatedly makes me laugh.
HA!
Crap, I promised shorter posts didn't I.
I'll make an about me page or just post about myself a little later.
Stay Tuned.
