And So It Begins…
Blogging: The new(to me) internet craze sweeping the… web. Being new to me, leaves me asking various questions. What is Blogging? Why is it called “blogging” or a “blog”? Who started this idea? Was his name Wilhem Bloggenstein? Where did he get the idea?
Historical questions aside, now here comes the real pressure, what do I BLOG ABOUT?! So much Damn pressure (Thanks Tom) but I think, I feel it, I’m ready to try… so here goes my first blog which will no doubt leave me addicted to the idea and with numerous unintelligent ramblings. LETS BLOG ON!
The Topic of my first Blog… well lets just say I spent quite a bit a of time determining what to Blog about. Sports would be my obvious first choice, perhaps later include my knowledge and love for musicals or theatre… who can say but the minute the topic hit me, I knew it, just like Janet Jackson knew her boob was popping out at the hand of JT. The day after Tom (Aka Crystal Tom Cara Bonham Carter V) created our Wolf Den blog, which I’m convinced no one is or will be reading for a while, I immediately got prepared for my first blog entry. Possibly over prepared. I woke up the next day, got showered, headed out early towards Heritage High School for rehearsal of my show, and I decided to grab Bojangles (Amazing biscuit and fried chicken fast food restaurant with cajun flavor) on my way to the theater for food. It was here that the pressure began to build. the place was packed… it was 1:00pm on a Sunday afternoon in one of the most religious cities in America… church was over and people needed their arteries filled with fried chicken! Inside, I saw a large group of Liberty students gathering slowly two by two to a long table they kept extending, several families with very well behaved kids, a cute couple and their grand kids in front of me in line and your usual assortment of followers you expect to be in a fast food chicken and biscuits restaurant. Here I experienced unaware kids blocking the entire beverage bar (until grandma noticed), the anxiety that someone is going to sit where you put your food or even take it while you are getting your drink (damn grand kids again), weeding out by the Liberty Students (They travel in herds and apparently have some kind of signal or call that attracts many miles away to meet on their location and the anxiety of someone cleaning your table without you being finished with your meal (not a big deal in a buffet). By this time, I was going nuts because all I could think about is………………. Can I Blog About This Later?!
From that moment on, I was ruined! My FAVORITE fast food joint turned into a blogger’s typing block that really was a a cluster F*** of possible ideas… and until now, I have approached everything in that manner. Who knows what will be posted in my future but I will lasso my ideas and bring them to the screen one at a time.

I believe the word “blog” comes from “weblog,” where one would log events on the web. Eventually, the W and E were dropped, leaving just ‘blog. Add on various suffixes, and you have blogged, blogging, blogger, etc.
why rid ourselves of WE?!
