I have never liked the word blog. Not because of its meaning and connotations but just the way it sounds and feels as it rolls off your tongue. When I say ‘blog’, ‘blob’ comes to mind followed by the idea of word vomit (like how onomatopoeia works, not as in most bloggers produce word vomit). I also sometimes think of these writers as having to portray themselves in a certain way to fit a certain image or conception of themselves. But that is perhaps over-thinking it. It is after all something that is inevitable. Man became self conscious and political the moment he started perceiving himself through the eyes of others, so much so that perhaps the act itself has become something unconscious.
But I digress. This is a project by Khairul and myself as a sort of resistance towards being jaded by routine, age and time. A reminder to ourselves to defy the desensitization that becomes almost inevitable with experience.
