Casting off the chains of oppression.

Blog is such a silly disgusting sounding word. It's like "Blech" mixed with "log." There's just no good imagery that emerges there. So in an emergency last minute meeting with myself I've decided to call mine something different, something catchy yet not cliché, something with a sparkly undertone that doesn't get stuck in your teeth.

I tried on a number of names for size. To mention but a few: teelop, hoobergrip, grundleflight, nod, draq, ube, imk, qweeb, and of course steve. None spoke to me in the way the following did.

Hitherto my blog will be known as a joof.


Are we all clear now? My joof will be the same as a blog yet different. It will be free of most things that bog down the blog, most of all the thought process. It will be pithy yet airy, strong yet subtle, and interesting yet trite.
Stay tuned.

Your blog is Joof. Is this to be pronounced with a hard "j" sound like "Jump"? Or a softer "g" sound like "gulp"? I personally like the harder, more masculine "jump" joof, but that might not be what you were looking for. If you have ever seen Arrested Development, you should remember that they spoke of the 2 holy sons, one of which was named "goofeth". You may want to think of calling yourself that from now on. It's a good political move, if you ask me seeing that you're making coins now.

I meeeeeeeeesss you!! big hugs to the both of youz!
