Blog- could it be a lame word?



(a picture I drew of my wife getting angry, when we first met)

The blog... A notebook feels creative where I write songs, stories, poems, a computer feels like a place I promote my shows and book the clubs I somehow got involved in. Well, I have a nice stack of say forty notebooks, the others my dad threw out when "cleaning" the basement.

Perhaps it's just the word blog that has kept me away.
I think I have been mis- marketed to. Also you can't spill steak sauce or coffee on a blog and that is something I have always done to mark my creative territory.

As of now, I don't really read any blogs regularly, perhaps writing one could change that.
The pitfalls of rhyming blog:
Now I started my own blog,
May the thoughts flow free and never clog,
Is it a Prince or just a frog,
I'd hate to get stuck in this bog,
or get killed by a balrog,
I fear I'm lost out in the fog,

Clearly the word does not have upbeat friends in the rhyming dept. Dog technically rhymes, but is more a dawg sounding word.

OK I think I have properly worn out all I my thoughts on this dang word, just my Brady Bunch style of making things straight before I start, when Alice left for an episode and the new housekeeper Kay came in, the kids would say things like , "Alice used to play basketball with us", she would reply, "that was Alice, I'm Kay".

That actually has nothing to do with me and Blog, but hey I'm trying my best.
