I guess that I should rewrite that one bleurgh (aka word vomit) post from my other blog. Why did I even spew out random words, only to hide them into obscurity like a deep cut in an artist's album from an uncharted territory?
Well, I like to draft and chatter via delphitools' Text Scratchpad on my phone. I prefer that app over iOS Notes, which auto-syncs and drains battery life. Although I try my best not to edit too much on the Text Scratchpad (which may result on scuffed scrolling behavior), I cannot resist changing a word or phrase sometimes. Even though I can resume my writing session in that app, I want to make sure that I have backed up my .txt file on the Files app.
Initially, I planned to write around 300 to 500 words for my rambles. But then, I thought that 500 is the minimum number for such long-winded posts. Maybe I could double or triple the minimum word count by adding tangents à la Takanashi Kiara. I could even think of a decent segue...
Speaking of segue, I thought that the word's spelling is "Segway" (like the vehicle) and its pronunciation is "seh-GYOO" (which is incorrect, according to my phone's dictionary).
I swear that English is a difficult language. If I ever hear someone mistaking me for a native speaker, I will kindly tell them that I practice ESL instead.
Anyway, I should consider reading Visa's 1,000,000 Words to know more about the concept of a word vomit. Actually, I should call that a bleurgh (affectionate) since that word sounds so close to blog.
Whenever I am waiting for something or someone while travelling, I would just draft a blog post or two on the Text Scratchpad. (That is much better than watching a pile of short videos on my socials.) If I still have enough mobile data, I would just seek some writing ideas by reading a bunch of blog posts around the indie web. Thankfully, I see good vibes more often than ragebait in this side of the Internet world.
While ragebait still exists around the indie web, it is not as prevalent as its mainstream counterpart. If I ever see a inflammatory or questionable post on any RSS aggregator out there, I would probably ignore it and skim through the description instead (if available).
I once read someone's post (which is intentionally unlinked, by the way) about their distaste to AI-assisted / generated writing. Although I could somehow relate to their disappointment with it, I cringed with the last paragraph. Like, what is the point of seething at sunshine and rainbows?
I wish that I could unsee such negativity. Why did I bother to read that in the first place?
I feel like that the open web is an ever-growing cornucopia that bears a lot of ripe and rotten fruits. While I enjoyed picking those that are in good or excellent condition, I have encountered a bunch of fruits that have withered or turned into mush. I think that I stop putting a bunch of random stuff there, or else I would end up recreating that one Adult Swim bumper at some point.
