BLOGGART!

BLOGGART!

 

Although this may sound just like an insult that a man from the 1940s would yell at a homeless man trying to cook Mulligan Stew under a bridge but ruining it with old pigweed, it is actually a very appropriate title for this week's blog.

 

Bloggart - blog + art (and an extra 'g' because I'm so gangster,  what whaaa!) 

 

Blogging is indeed an art - or at least it should be. The English language can be so eloquent and I feel like it being decimated by the use of quick chats. The art of conversation has withered away like an MS patient and been usurped by lols and brbs. No one seems to have time to put together a well constructed sentence. 

 

For example, I (Phil Villeneuve) was yesterday telling a story to by 19-year old cousin. I said something along the lines of 'Those New York Americans are pernicious little fuckers'. She asked me what 'pernicious' meant and so I explained that it meant ' extremely deadly'. "Oh," she replied. "Well why didn't you just say that?"

 

Hank Moody said it best in a radio interview. I have transcribed it below for your reading pleasure. 

 

In other News, Riga aren't the force I thought they would be. I suppose I haven't really been pulling my weight and should use our powers of awesome to be better.

 

My teammates are some of the better ones in the VHL methinks. The lockerroom is always buzzing with activity and the mood is generally great all the time. Until I post something stupid there... which is almost daily. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I guess it's just the fact that people seem to be getting dumber and dumber. I mean, we have all this amazing technology, and yet… computers have turned into basically four-figure wank machines. The internet was supposed to set us free, democratize us, but… But all it’s really given us is Howard Dean’s aborted candidacy and… 24-hour day access to kiddy porn. People… They don’t write anymore. They blog. Instead of talking, they text… No punctuation, no grammar, L.O.L. this and L.M.F.A.O. that. It just seems to me that it’s just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people in a protolanguage that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the King’s English"
