Grammar? I hardly know 'ar!

  There's this thing I have about proper nouns. Who the hell said they deserve to be proper? What did I ever do to get capitalized? Nothing that I can recall important to warrant being larger than all the other words. I can totally understand why the beginning of sentences are capitalized, they got there first, they earned it. But think about it in context of language. Other languages don't capitalize "I". Hell, we don't capitalize "me" but it's the same thing as "I", just accusative. Countries are the same. What'd America ever do that was SOOOOO great that they deserved to get the reaction of, "Whoa, snap, there's America, right there in the sentence!"? Anyway, I'm just putting this out there as one of the few rants (I'm trying not to be that stereotypical rant blog by those 25 and under) and partially as a heads-up. I'm sure a lot of you will sit there in agony reading a post that says, "Today i traveled to england and it was a blast. I can't wait to travel to foreign countries again like france, germany, and spain!' Tough. Stories, such as my soon-to-be-released comicstory (either that or storycomic for the official title, BUT NOT WORTH CAPITALIZING) will be correctly formatted correctly because I want it to at least seem professional. Input blogs like this one or a review of a comic has a higher chance of not having proper nouns capitalized. Just a warning, because I figured I don't want to see like some punk off the street who can't write. I'm a punk off the street with weird ideals who can't write! Pow pow!
