Hey, so this is Calvin in case it wasn't obvious based on the page before this. Also, pay not attention to the email that I use for this. It's an old one that I used for a while and it's really not optimal anymore but whatever. A trash email for a trash boy.
Anyways, the topic of my writing for this week's blog post is the use of more unsavory language in both common and proper usage. I believe, as it may be obvious from my choice of wording in class, that curse words should be significantly less taboo than they currently are. There are many situations where a classic "darn it" or "ah shoot sport, you'll win the big game next year" just doesn't cut it. I for one (and pardon my French), was raised in a household where my nickname from a young age was "Little Shit" and my grandfather's favorite word to use around me was "fuck". For this, I am thankful. Even though it may seem insignificant, the verbose usage of such language has helped me to become a person significantly more open to voicing their opinion. Additionally, the use of such language is a great way to relieve stress or pent up emotion. The only way to mentally get over stubbing your toe is to yell your favorite 4-letter word a few times, and damn is it satisfying.
I may not have really proven my point well, but I hope that someone agrees with me on this. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to write another blog post to fill the rest of my word count.
I'm reading everyone's blog post as a way to procrastinate my other homework and I'm amused by the stuff I've been reading, the collection we have here is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, sometimes you just need to say fuck. Especially when your tutoring a kid and he says he doesn't want to do work and you have to consider what his home life is like.
