Rudy has just tagged me with this meme. This is the first and probably the last meme I will do, but as I told him, his Blog Fu is better than my Blog Fu so I respect that.

So what the heck is “blego”?

Blego (evilwoobie.com’s definition) – n. an acronym of “blog ego”, which pertains to a blogger’s sense of self in the blogosphere.

Blego (Darkside-Dreamland.com’s definition) – n. a protologism combining blog and ego. Used to define the ego of a blog or blogger. Like personal ego, blego may be good or bad.

Blego (benbarden.com’s definition) – n. a toy for children to build with but with a B in front.

Blego (WoganMay.com’s definition) – abbr. Breaking Little Enterprises – Godzilla Organisations.

Blego (Blogosis.com’s definition) – n. An Eggo waffle and a blog mixed together. I don’t know what this would look like, but maybe I can come up with a prototype.

Blego (amid.com’s definition) – expression. “Bleh, let’s go!” If you’re being forced to go somewhere or do something, by your spouse or friends, just slur those words together and get “blego”. It is usually said after a big sigh. For example, “Do I have to? Hrmph! Blego!”

Blego (endodontics.com’s definition) – slang. Implying the act of copulation. i.e. “Fuck, look at those blego-me boots she’s wearing!”

As any meme, this one has rules.

1. The person tagged must copy the word (”Blego”) and paste the definitions of the word contributed previously by the people who did the meme.
2. Link backs would be nice, but not necessary.
3. The person tagged must then add her own definition in this format ‘yourname.com’s definition’ and place your link. Being creative with the acronym is encouraged.
4. Answer the questions below.
5. Tag 5 other people to do the meme.

For #4, here are the answers to the questions:

• Do you know what your blog is really about, and you can write a one-sentence promotional material for it in a flash? If yes, write it here.

Life, the Universe, and Everything through an endodontist’s eyes.

• Do you join social networks to promote your blog? If yes, do you hope to find friends in these social networks and in the process get regular readers of your blog?

Yes: facebook, Blogcatalog, Entrecard. I try to keep my regular readers to 3 though.

• Do you or do you plan to join ranking sites that put your blog in competition with others for popularity? If yes, do you or do you plan to monitor your stats regularly?

No, I’m not competitive that way. I check stats regularly for no other reason than it’s something to do.

• Do you tweak your blog often in accordance with the tips you get from blogging guides and gurus? If yes, list the bloggers you visit often to obtain these tips.

Not often. For me, blogging is more of a journalisation of life rather than a money-making program. I try to keep it somewhat interactive because I write for an audience (otherwise what’s the point of any type of creation?). I don’t need to be a professional blogger–I already have a profession.

• Do you think of your next post even if you have just written a new one? If yes, list your inspirations for posting, and/or some routines that you go through before posting.

Sometimes. But often I forget what I was thinking of because one of the inspirational routines I sometimes use is single malt scotch taken neat.

I get to tag 5 more people to follow this meme. I’ll choose people (in no particular order) whose blogs I read but who haven’t blogged in a very long time because they got addicted to facebook:

1. Dr. Mommy
2. Looking Down
3. Solitary Penguin
4. Dentist Down Under
   
5. Thoughts From a Cookie Jar
