Blogs, mixed tapes and that other thing...

I just realized I have a blog thanks to the awesomeness that is Google.And I'm not sure if I'm being sarcastic or genuinely mean that. Regardless, its getting harder for me to come up with clever titles for the mixed CDs I make. It used to be very easy with extremely clever results, but not any more and I'm starting to find as a very bad sign. More importantly I think I rather go back to mixed tapes. In a perfect world there'd still be mixed tapes.

Blog: To write entries in, add material to, or maintain a weblog.
Weblog: A website that displays in chronological order the postings by one or more individuals and usually has links to comments on specific postings.

Why do we feel the need to shorten things-specifically words? I mean seriously, do you read your friends texts and think what the hell are thinking when they shorten the words and abbreviate. I mean I know its just so they can write more, but it bugs the shit out of me. Mainly because then I start to hear people use the shorten, abbreviated words as slang. No lie. I mean its pretty bad and ridiculously sad when you have both high school and college teachers constantly reminding you that you must use proper English language and not use the IM/text messaging words. It makes me wonder what this world is coming to. We are bringing up our children-the future of the world- into an ignorant world. Does anyone really want this? I sure as hell don't. I feel as if there are plenty of educated people in the world, only the majority of them are wasting it to become part of the commercial masses; and those of us, who enjoy our education and actually use it, are suffering from those mass idiots.

I could go on but I have work in like six hours give or take and I need to get some amount of sleep. Insomnia is a bitch but I do my best to have a semi-decent night of sleep.
