Today I want to take a moment to talk about using expletives. There are many different philosophies on expletives, some people choosing to forgo them altogether. My personal philosophy is that they add a certain level of emphasis that can not otherwise be had. So I personally don't mind using them now and then to let the listener know I really mean what I am saying. Gordon Ramsay however uses it as an extension to his character, and I guess that's on the reasons people love him.

So fuck it, I am going to continue to use expletives and if you don't like it, you can fuck off!
