I've been debating whether I should let loose the wrath of my cursing vocabulary on this blog. Thus far, I've been really good - too good for my own good I would say.
The problem is cursing is an integral part of my day-to-day speech. I mean, I don't curse all the time, but if I'm speaking openly, it's just a matter of time before I drop an f'bomb. Honestly, I just don't feel human unless I spew out a few invectives here and there.
I read a lot of blogs - across a multitude of subject matter - and even some of the most respectable bloggers tend to use at least some bad language[1]. Perhaps more importantly, some of the funniest writers, to me, swear without hesitation[2].
"Cursing adds Humor, Meaning, Emotion, Boldness, Depth, Feeling, Etc. to dialogue..." -Me
Personally, I like cursing because it makes me sound like a fucking bad ass. Ah yeah, I'm feeling more bad ass already. Also, it makes whatever you're saying sound 10x more important since cursing is involved. It's god damn science, people.
This article is pretty awesome - top ten reasons why I swear. It works, even though the article is actually against cursing... whatever.
The downside to having an expletive-riddled blog is that it could make me look less credible if I were to, say, reference this blog on my Resume or something. I can just see some high-faluting HR staff member at mega corporation xyz loading up my blog (assuming the company firewall lets them access Zinknation.net, which is doubtful). Two minutes later, they tear up my Resume, with a face full of scorn, and write me off as an unsavvory, racist, child-molesting rapist who steals from the blind and punches babies - all because I had a few curse words on my blog.
Ah... I don't know. That's pretty unlikely. I don't think I want to work for mega corporation xyz, anyway.
