Why so Serious?

I think there’s something to be said about the inherent humor in taking serious things unseriously and vice-versa. Obviously there is a time and place to be appropriated mannered, but in a lot of cases, you can end up with some pretty good results.

Blogging is a key example of an unserious thing that can be taken seriously for comical purposes. As Donaghy Estates so eloquently put it, blogging is pretty lame. It’s the kind of thing you read about somewhere and just laugh at the people who do it. Who the fuck came up with the word ‘blog’? It’s a pretty terrible name and does the practice no justice. And no, I’m not going to look that up right now. But once you do actually try blogging, like the proud folks here at the Alcohall, you soon find that the inane practiced you so long laughed at can be something worthwhile. I’m not saying that everyone should go out and blog because that would be stupid. What I am saying is that something as deservingly unserious as blogging can be treated as something serious to warrant a chuckle. I find it funny that we’ve decided to make a blog to publicly display our many opinions. It’s also very funny that we are now spending time (albeit brief) to write articles when we’d normally just be dicking around. In this way, blogging is a lot like Twitter. Again as Donaghy Estates and I mentioned, Twitter at its core is really useless. What a waste of time. But for those out there who realize its worthlessness and take of advantage of that to produce things as funny as HoneyTheDog, I have only respect for them.

Generally the same sort of philosophy can be applied to taking serious things less seriously. It’s no fun being an uptight bitch all the time so why get bogged down in all the details? To make a brilliant and topical analogy, maybe you should think of it like the Jersey Shore. On one hand, you can be like Pauly D. and just laugh at all the drama in that stupid reality TV house. Or you can be like Angelina and have no one like you and just end up leaving two seasons in a row. It should be pretty clear which choice is better. So don't ask "why did you make a blog?" because the answer is "Why not? it's funny."

What a fucking dumb word
