Hi there. I guess this is my blogger blog or blogspot spot. Today I'd like to talk about the word "pretentious". Apparently I just now learned how to spell it. Gotta have that dictionary.com tab open, ya know? Alright, my browser doesn't support tabs. I have a bumper sticker on my Internet [Ford] Explorer that says "I'd rather be using Mozilla". A little iHumor for ya.

Ok so what's with people using the word "pretentious" all the time. It seems like people who use that word a lot are being verbally pretentious. I know a lot of words AND I can use them correctly in everyday speech! look at me go!

I'm only joshing around. I don't think I know of any one person that overuses the word. I've just heard or seen it many times in the past week or two. Plus I encounter more people with the opposite problem. That is, lack of verbal skills and vocabulary.

So this is just an Intro to my blogger blog. It's called Love, the City. 'The City' is also my blogger ID. Get it? Anyhow, I suppose most of my posts will be in a similar format to this one, broken down as follows:

First I greet the reader, then I introduce the topic of the day's post.
Next I stray off-topic, talk about myself, and/or make stupid jokes.
Then I come back to the topic, make a poorly planned point, and maybe mock a hypothetical person.
After that, I make another point which is incongruous with my first point, or totally discounts it all together.
So I've made a perfect circle of idiocy, and at the end I say:

Love, The City
