A fellow local blogger noted that the
oldest blogger in the world, weighing in at 97, recently passed (look
here for the article). I began to think - yeah, blogging is great. Blogging connects us with the outside, and far reaching world. That 97 year old grandma finally really enjoyed her last couple of years on this planet after her stingy relative finally buys her the computer she has been dreaming of. But what would
I be like if I was still blogging at the ripe age of 97?
So this is my
tribute to blogging - in old age, at any age, behind closed doors - where we blog and don't change our underwear. Where we blog and leave anonymous comments even though we have a user profile. Where we spend
w a y too much time reading up on other people's activities and preferences before realizing the day just passed without a glance and we haven't stepped out the front door yet. Or washed. Or eaten anything that wasn't within an arm's reach (except for you food bloggers, that is!)
I don't want to grow old with my computer - I would like to have a flesh and blood version of a companion instead. But in the meantime - here I am. Worrying about followers, looking at my blog stats and getting a big ole computer butt.
Ha! This is too funny and too true!
ReplyDeleteBut like the saying goes.. don't worry, be happy!
Blogger Butt!! ha ha ha...sad, but true...and really not so sad. Love it...LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh, don't worry, Lady P! Stats are for the birds. I mean, who cares about statistics? Only statisticians, and let me tell you, they are a boring bunch. Blog away with alacrity! Get up every now and then to avoid BloggerButt, though. PS I enjoyed your green cupcakes down below. Weird, I dreamt of cupcakes last night, I was shouting at the baker, pointing and shouting: Half the size!! Half the size!! Weird ....
ReplyDeleteaccording to "Zen and the art of Blogging" there comes a time when stats mean nothing...and think of this: if you had 400 followers...how mainstream would you be?? eww.
ReplyDeleteYou are wonderful - you made me laugh out loud. Is this our future? Love the beer glass, by the way. Have a wonderful weekend. Try to eat something though, won't you (I would say that)?
ReplyDeletevery funny!

I love this entry! :) I see me blogging until I die. I'll even get my kids to blog since they will have to update all of my internet friends when I pass away so they will know it's me when I come to visit ;) I don't see myself living until 97, more like 75-78ish.
ReplyDeleteAnd I did send some healing energy to my throat chakra yesterday before I went to bed, and my voice sounds a little better today :) So thanks for the suggestion :)
By the way, I added your blog onto my "Awesome Links & Blogs" section of my blog :) I enjoy reading your blog :)
