Blogging the Blog
Hi there. I know, I know, it’s been a while since I posted anything. But I attended the Jubilee Writers’ Conference at the Terrebonne Parish Library on Saturday, and one of the sessions was on blogging. Sooo, I decided that I should do this more regularly.
Here I am, then, staring at an almost-blank little box that cries out to me for a line or two of little black letters to make it less blank.
In the news this week is the story of some bloggers who blog themselves to death. Fatal and near fatal heart attacks have been noted from around the country. Bloggers who spend practically every waking moment keeping up with their blogs are endangering their health, so the article claims.
Round-the-clock Internet activities of any type could be life-threatening, though. What about the kid who stays up all hours of the night to play video games? Or the myspace or facebook addict who checks his/her page 15 or 20 times a day to see if there are any new messages? And then there are those who post their profiles on dating sites and are constantly vigilant for new matches.
Never fear, friends; that’s not me. Extreme blogging is not a sport I will succumb to any time in the near future. Extreme anything is, well, too extreme for me. I prefer moderation or at least management of my time.
Hmm, I haven’t played Peggle Master since last night.
