Blog is me....

What is blogging? Where did it come from? How does "blog" even become a word? Does this mean that I can coin my own words too?

Helping the Victims

Damn that Hurricane Katrina! Here are some sites through which you can help out the victims out there in LA, MI, and AL. BTW, what pisses me off more than anything are the people who are trying to benefit from this tragedy, i.e. THE LOOTERS!!! What the hell is wrong with them??? Do they have no conscience? That's a blog for another day.....

Thanks for the info.

The Anarchy/Looting/Riots in Louisiana is a disgrace and sounds horrifying. f*in nuts. The news makes it sound like that movie Escape from LA (or New York).

I'm thinking more zombie movie-esque. Think "28 Days". Whole city that is wiped out and totally deserted. Pretty eerie.
