Getting back up to date

So it’s been a bit lagging over here, causing me to wonder how many blog entries to date have begun with “so it’s been a bit lagging over here”. Probably a few.

First things first, I’ve discovered another blog entitled “Expresso To Go”. Undaunted by the evidence of my own lack of originality, I took a moment to view the mind of my doppelganger:

I hate the concept of homework. Were in school 6 hours a day!!!!! We deserve a break!!! But teachers havent been kids since dinosaurs walked the earth. Honestley!!!! Who knows? Mabey your robot-like science teacher Mr.Jenkins discovered the wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and…

Do you ever wonder why kids want to be older and adults want to be younger? I mean, why do pepole care? Im not a firm beliver in treating pepole differently because of age. But everyone always does that.What is the world coming to?!! (Dum dum dum eeeeehhhhhhh)

Well put. Reading the above has given me pause. What happens when two publications– in our case, blogs– share titles? Does one roll over and rename, or can the two exist amicably? Is it necessary to forcibly distinguish one from the other? To wit: should I avoid institutional critique and identity politics, in light of the handy work being done by my competition?
