In BLAST magazine, what really struck me, was the BLAST and BLESSINGS part of the magazine. It is written in an extremely experimental style, that allows the authors freedom to do what ever they please. This section made me laugh, especially the part in BLAST England, where they curse the sky for only giving them rain and not snow. Blasting something was a very grave offense and I find it quite funny that everything that they BLAST, they go back and BLESS. It is this kind of turnabout that makes BLAST so unique.

When reading the MANIFESTO of BLAST, one finds out that the authors of BLAST wanted to be as controversial as possible. They took up one position and then on the next page took the other. This switching of positions caused much confusion and shocked the public. The creators of BLAST wanted to shock the people out of there complacency and in the publication of the first volume did so. BLAST was intended to confuse, not only with its unique style but its use of language, and I think it does so.
