Welcome to the Club

Hello and welcome fine denizens of the neighborhood to this, the Word Hard World. A new fantastic universe of life philosophies, observations, theories, and other random musings awaits you. Be prepared for deep thoughts and shallow jokes. And shallow thoughts and deep jokes. And the full spectrum that lies within and beyond.

Word Hard. What does that even mean? Well, ostensibly it means nothing. It was derived from a typo in a work email about leaving typos in our work and was pointed out in an attempted scathing rebuttal by a disgruntled co-worker. As one who often uses (/over-uses) the word 'word' within casual conversation, particularly as a means to say goodbye, I found 'Word Hard' to be way funnier than 'Work Hard' could ever be serious. And thus a moniker was born.

While traversing this road of life I often find myself devoid of motivation, full of useless knowledge and facts and philosophize on the obscure and the mundane. Sometimes in a deep, profound way. Sometimes in just a witty out-of-leftfield way. Nevertheless, too often I find myself lacking the opportunity to have said conversations with a peer and instead have them within my own noggin. This blog is my attempt to record said thoughts for posterity, to share with the world and the billions or six of yous whom will read this, and to provide an outlet through which it is hoped to save some of my sanity. There will be brutal honesty within, thus you can see the 'Not wearing pants' tag to this post. For those who wish to think this author is some loser who sits at home in his underwear and blogs I will take the burden of such guesswork out of your hands and inform you when I publish something sans trousers. Working pantsless is quite riveting. I suggest you try it.

So what is 'Word' supposedly contrived to mean as a verb within this context? To 'word' is to exercise to think, to write, to share, to joke, to observe. All done in a manner that is off the beaten path and brings forth enlightenment, education or at the very least, entertainment. It can be serious, but is never to be taken too seriously, as the point is not be right, but explore those pathways we travel to discover what we believe. And to enjoy ourselves along the way.

We all could 'Word Hard' more often in our lives. This is my attempt to do so. Won't you join me neighbor?
