More Stuff On What My Blog is Doing


What can my Blog do? I'm glad you asked that, Queen Froggy. I also plan to post examples of my writing. I like to write sometimes. Sometimes it's fiction, sometimes it's non-fiction. Sometimes it's a odd bastard combination of the two which I like to call Friction! I will also have poems, comic book reviews, some of my homework assignments, pop culture musings, and relationship tips. If all goes according to plan, it'll read like exactly like the Oprah magazine.

I suppose a mission statement is in order. What is this blog really about, anyway? Well, I can tell you what it's not about. It's not about Korea. North or South. Nothing against the Koreans. They have many fine looking women of Asian descent and I've purchased many products that say "Made in Korea." I believe most "Precious Moments" figurines are "made in Korea." And condoms. Go find a condom, and I believe most of them say "made in Korea." (The writing is really small.) So mad props to Koreans. But I know absolutely nothing about them!! All I know is that Korea is an island somewhere off the coast of South Africa. So my blog is not about that.

This blog is not about singing, dancing teenagers. But God, I wish it was!

This blog is not about my obssession with breaking those so-called "unbreakable" black combs. Cause I can break those little motherf**kers. I just don't feel like devoting a whole blog to it.

No, this blog is a blog o' mirth, as the title playfully suggests. So some of the entries will be about mirthful things, like kittens and television superstar Jenna Elfman. Some of it will be about depressing things, like kittens that scratch you when you try to pet them and when television superstar Jenna Elfman gets a restraining order against you. I will try to equal out the good with the bad, because when you have too much good, that's God's way of luring you into a false sense of security right before He kills you.

Sometimes I'll talk about stuff that is happening to me in my life. Like when the paper comes, I'll write out, "Hey, here's the paper." That's blog verite at it's finest. I want to give the reader a sense of unbiased realism towards my life. I won't hold back. If I'm feeling queasy, I'll let you know.

I'm a philosophical kinda guy. I have all sorts of deep thoughts about the universe. I will share them with you and you will be changed on a molecular level. Your very DNA will be fundamentally altered and if you reproduce, your kids will be some sort of freakish super-beings who can throw cars with their minds. I also plan to write reviews of my favorite comic books. WITH MY MIND.

Why the Change, You Ask?

I did change the name of the blog, however. That's exciting and new. It used to be Dharmic Vertigo and I changed it back to my original idea, which was to incorporate my Nakedmanatee moniker. Nakedmanatee's Blog o' Mirth & Frivolity. Why the change you ask? (First let me parenthetically address my usage of writing direct questions to non-existent readers. If no one is reading this, and I throw out the question, "Why the change you ask," as if somebody is actually asking me that question--and they are not, I assure you-- ha-ha, I did it again--we can view this as a useful literary device enabling me to propel this blog entry along or a disturbing symptom indicative of a psychological mental break from reality. I'm sure it doesn't help matters to visually picture a group of stuffed animals informally cloistered around a table, drinking tea, and discussing my blog as if THEY were my readers. It's a good thing I don't do that! Pipe down over there, Major Bearclaw!)

So, why the change, you ask? Well, esteemed blogonian, Dharmic Vertigo, while punchy as hell, did not convey the sense of mirth and frivolity that Nakedmanatee's Blog of Mirth and Frivolity does. I hope to take your mirthless lives and forcefully CRAM huge bags of mirth into them until you are mirthful. Doesn't that sound like fun? Yes, how about you, Mrs. Pottingsworth? Don't give me that look.

I'm Still Here, Damnit!!

It's been awhile since my last entry. Okay, it's been about a year and a freakin' half. Unfortunately, not a lot has happened.
