This blog has nothing to do with schizophasia, per se - I am taking license to use the term to loosely describe the way I blog; I will write about anything from software engineering to religion to food. Let's look at some definitions for schizophasia and why I think it appropriate for my blog's title (and, obviously, the domain name).

schiz·o·pha·sia (skĭt'sə-fā´zhə, -zē-ə)
n.
The characteristic disordered speech of a schizophrenic person. Also called word salad.

A subtle change renders:

The characteristic disordered blog posts of a schizophrenic person. Also called word salad.

I am also taking a bit of license with the definition of the word schizophrenic; I mean, these definitions really are rather subjective! How do you know I'm not schizophrenic?! Exactly. So just lay off me, huh? Besides, I am almost 100% certain that people close to me would be willing to go on record that I may be schizophrenic.

The following encyclopedic excerpt sheds more light:

In the mental health field, schizophasia, commonly referred to as word salad (see "word salad" for other meanings), is used to describe the symptom of confused, and often repetitious, language that is symptomatic of various mental illnesses. It is usually associated with a manic presentation and other symptoms of serious mental illnesses, such as psychoses, including schizophrenia.

"[C]onfused, and often repetitious?!" My wife would say that this is indicative of any conversation with me! As far as I can tell, I suffer from some form of schizophasia. Perhaps one of the large, horribly corrupt, pharmaceutical companies markets a pill for this? :P

Lastly:

Word salad is a string of words that vaguely resemble language, and may or may not be grammatically correct, but is utterly meaningless.

That sums up the content of what I will say on this blog; most of it will be words strung together into something utterly meaningless, notwithstanding its appearing to vaguely resemble language.
