I have become so addicted to blogs that I am personally responsible for my company blocking blog comments through the filters. How am I supposed to get through a day without commenting on blogs? Seriously! I work hard but I need some "me" time and if I can't get it at home by damn, I will get it at work. It is enough to make me take my shoes off and prop my feet up on the desk for a nice little polish. We'll see how long it takes the company to block THIS side of Blogger.....
The real reason I created my own blog if I am addicted to reading them? Well look up a bit. No, not at my lovely NYE champagne face although that was a lot of fun to find on New Year's Day as the hangover lessened. The reason I finally broke down and created a blog has nothing to do with my own desire to create these innovative and funny blogs I read every day but everything to do with my tiring of leaving only a generic name on those comments. I got nothing to go with my name. No blogger/google username and no URL. It's not that I want credit for my comments but my fear is that the owners of said blogs will begin to fear me and block me. I'm really not a stalker but I play one well. It was kind of fun to set one up as I had no idea what it took to make one of those little posts appear. All I know is if I visit a blog too many times between new posts, I get pissy. I really sound like I need a life, don't I? Well, you have to understand that I invested in an internet-capable cell phone (Palm Treo in case you care at all) so even when I am stuck in traffic or in line at the grocery store, I am checking my favorite sites for updates. Some people get addicted to porn so I feel this is a more accepted addiction.
I have no idea how often I will update this. I don't plan on posting it anywhere and will probably only use it to make friends. "You know I blog" is a great conversation starter. Of course then I have to explain to the old guy in the liquor store what a blog is and that leads into the whole "What exactly IS the internet again?" and then I am exhausted and just want the change on my 12 pack of beer. So in all likelihood, it won't be often!! Until then, peace out.
