What Is A Blog?

A "blog" is a shortened version of "Weblog."

What is a "weblog?" A weblog was originally meant to be be a sort of online diary. You'd suddenly come up with a thought, maybe take a picture or two, and voilà, here was your daily thought.

This is and was a good idea. However, as is natural in the real world, it got perverted.

This blog, from square one, was meant to be a continuation of montrealfood.com. However, as others in Montreal began posting reviews of restaurants with pictures (most by the wayside, I'll have you know) I decided that since I'd started it, why change the name? It's just a familiar iteration for people who know me, many, many who do not live in Montreal and will probably never come here.

So I post whatever I want. Just what I see in the news or whatever occurs to me. Sometimes it's a hilarious joke but sometimes it's deadly serious (well, it always has to be sarcastic if it's serious).

But lately trolls have been dropping by and leaving "sarcastic" comments -- really, they couldn't write to save their lives -- kind of like cyber graffitists -- and I just want to get an IED and plant it under their fucking spaghetti bolognese from President's Choice and detonate it remotely with a cell phone.

But you know I won't do that. Yet. Just delete the fucker and move on. Blork insisted that I leave the posts and comments up there for posterity's sake but I just don't like vitriol on my blog unless it's from my own mouth.
