Too many "random musings"
I was reading some blogs this morning and I began to realize that lots (LOTS!) of people refer to their blog as "random musings." A Google search for "random musings" has 2,000,000 results.
"Duffbert's Random Musings"
"The Random Musings of David Weller"
"Sam's random musings"
I wonder where that term came from. I mean, I never hear anyone use the word "musings" in everyday conversation. Or maybe I just don't hang around enough coffee shops or literary clubs. I imagine that word flies around pretty freely there.
Wait, a second... is this post a random mu--- NO!!!!
