Blogging, darn now look what you’ve made me done, now even I have joined the masses. Oh well… give in a year or two and will be proclaiming, “Me? A blogger, but blogging is so 2005.” Then ten years after that we shall all take it up again, you know just for the nostalgia and because we’re so fucking old school.
However I am vastly interested in this phenomenon, to such an extent that I wrote my A level Media Studies, course work on the subject of blogging. Since I live in Northern Ireland that always lags behind what the rest of the world is doing due to our minds being preoccupied by the troubles. When I wrote the piece, I was hailed as some edgy prophet that spoke in a strange tongue bring a magical gift from a distant land known as a blog. Which I lapped up – just call me the blog father.
