The start of summer…

Usually I’m really happy to get away from school, I usually look forward to the freedom of doing anything I want to without any deadlines. But I have found that having this structured mess called IPR in my life makes everyday pretty fun. Sure, there is a lot of tough homework and tests can get on your nerves, but how often do any of us music nerds get to spend so much time with other like minded nerds?

I haven’t seen so many talented people in one place.

I have never felt totally right with the people I spent time with until now.

I have made a lot of friends. Maybe some enemies- don’t know until there is an attempt on my life. And I have just met some really cool people that don’t mind sharing some of their knowledge with someone who wants to know more.

Take advantage of this IPR goers. You probably will never have an opportunity like this where you can meet people of extremely different interests and be able to get non-smartass answers about their area of expertise.

Why does the word Blog suck so much?

I have never liked the word Blog.

The word alone was the leading reason I never wanted to have one.   I avoided any website that had the word Blog in the title because I figured it was probably some crappy myspace style blog.

I want to petition to get this word changed to something more aesthetically pleasing.

I’m looking for ideas but I have a few.

How about the lengthened version of blog? Web log?

Not as dumb but it is two syllables.  Sort of like journal.

Maybe a shortened version of Internet Journal.

Internals, net journal, InJours! (pronounced injures)

Please! Help me come up with something that doesn’t sound as idiotic as Blog!
