In spirit and in practice of a long age internet ‘blogging’ tradition (if one such thing exists), this is my first blog post and I would like to say, “Hello World!” …but I’m not going to. As a first post to a blog two years in the making, I shall present to you *drum roll* …my first post. My online journal *slash* movie review blog *slash* photography “stuff” *slash* literary entries and several random stuff, (wasn’t the slash thing just irritating, but don’t tell me you don’t do that when your typing ‘/’).
So let’s keep this shit short. I don’t want to be a jerk for taking too much of your time.
“Diyosh”
So, this is my blog. Allow me to welcome you first and foremost. I am Josh. At least that’s what most people call me. Diyosh, was a clever (?) name I came up with a few years ago. How? My friend kept calling me “diyos”, “diyos”, “diyos”. It started to get irritating really. But I found myself getting used to it. Other than, the fact that it was a pretty funny wordplay for my name, the word “Diyos” (pronounced differently) meant God in some languages. So, being the semi-egocentric jerk that I am, I decided to adopt it as a nickname, or an online pen-name if you would, as a reference to my “oh so godly” self (or at least I think I am). Thus the name, Diyosh, with an added ‘h’ for a good ring in accordance to my name.
“Teh Shiznit”
Moving on. After torturing you with my self-centered rant about myself, we now turn to a similar kind of post. This time, about my blog name. Much scrutiny and analysis, and tons of hours of discernment and consideration came about my choice of blog name. Tons of other blogs, both inactive and active have probably used this blog name, and I wasn’t going to be one of them. I have used the term “The Shiznit” in reference to both myself and well, myself. Why? Because I’m that damn good, or at least I forcefully claim that I am. Kidding aside, though. It was a hard choice, since it wasn’t as unique or clever as it might sound, and I really couldn’t think of shit. So I say, (or rather my friend said) “F it, screw those guys who used it first.” So, my solution: In practice of the widely used and the ever growing use of the language “L33t speak” (or 7331 for bigger geeks than I). I simply and intentionally misspell, “the”. With that I have come up with a unique blog name, hooray! *pats himself at the back*. And so, I give you, without much ado (further rants and irrelevant information) …Teh Shiznit. Enjoy.
“Why am I reading this?”
Good question. I’m afraid I can’t answer that though.
What I can promise you though is that you will find what I say very interesting. You’re probably going, “Who cares ‘wtf’ this guy thinks?.” Trust me, I say that to almost every blog I see. Exactly right? Why? I mean we all could care less, but here we are reading posts of other people because we feel that these people know what they’re saying and know about a great deal to what they’re talking about. And that, ladies and gentlemen, readers and bloggers, that I can promise you. What I talk about isn’t going to bore you. What I have in mind is going to ‘jog’ or for lack of a better word, rattle you. It will make you think, because I can assure that my opinions are not like the stagnant opinions of people going about everyday as if they’re checking the daily papers on what’s the latest trend, allowing the mainstream of society think for them. No, this will be a thrill for you. If not, either way we both haven’t lost anything, but for that I thank you for reading my first blog post. You will be back… you will.
welcome to blogger!
