In an ongoing challenge to myself to be a better writer, I'm going to kick one of my crutches out from under myself for the remaining days of June and the month of July: that crutch is profanity.

I'm not a prude, which should be obvious when you read back through my blog, but I've come to realize something about profanity, which is that very few people know how to properly use it. I've seen so many comics, images and jokes that would have been so much funnier if not for the "fucks". Profanity has its place, and nobody will argue that more strenuously than me, but I just want to try it out and see if it's possible to be funny on the Internet without wallowing in the glorious mud of profanity.

We'll see.

Maybe I'll give up after a week, but fuck it (last one!): some day we all have to grow up and stop writing and talking like we're in middle school.
