Jack’s Rating: “BLEEP”

2 min readJan 19, 2015

My name is Jack Russillo and I’m a college freshman who just moved to the big city (Seattle) from a small town in the middle of nowhere. Every day I rate something on a scale of 1 to 100.

Earlier on in my posts, I’d use “BLEEP” to cover up any profanity that I’d use in my writing.

Now, that’s all over.

I’m sorry to any readers that are against any vulgar statements. I really am. I miss the days of innocence when “butt” was one of the worst words one could speak. But I have to stay true to who I am.

I swear.

I don’t swear all the time, and only in the right situation and context. And then, of course, when I’m pissed off about something — who knew that one of the best remedies for a stubbed toe was to cuss it out? But I feel that using any of the actual profane words instead of “BLEEP” will give a better, more natural feel to my writing.

I hate it when I have a good rhythm going while I’m writing and then I’m forced to stop the flow because I have to find the “caps lock” button and type out a word that I hardly ever say. It’s frustrating. And so, from now on, you can go look somewhere else if you want to find a good “BLEEP”.

You’re only get gonna get the real shit from now on.

Jack’s Rating: 33/100

Pro: Helps to censor any unwanted words and phrases. It’s good for the young children, after all.

Con: It hurts my rhythm as a writer. Sometimes I swear and I feel that I should be able to on my own blog.
