opinionification?

For what ever reason, I put weird endings to ordinary words lately. It is a kind of baby talk I use with my dog. He gets it. I ask him if we is hungryfied, for example, instead of hungry. I didn't make it up. I remember a character in Salman Rushdie's novel "Midnight's Children" that would do that with her words. I liked it and it stuck with me. Opinionification sound like pontificating on my opinions, and that sounds enough like it came from the department of redundancy department to be right up my street.

I started a blog a little while back that I wanted to use to tell my life story from beginning to end. I soon came to realize that blogs don't really work that way, so I changed gears. I will on occasion tell stories I remember here and there, but the new focus of this blog is opinion, pontification, venting, raving, and reviewing things. I'll do other things too if the mood hits me.

This isn't the first blog I have started, and it won't be the last....but I hope it will be the best. No pressure, it's only a blog.
