I have been a blogger since April. It has been a fascinating few months.
But I noticed something today. Gradually, I guess, my life has become one constant potential blog entry. I go through my days now, iPhone at the ready, on the lookout for possible photos to take that I could post later.
Also, every conversation I have with another human during my days is evaluated on the basis of whether or not I should convert this short back and forth blab into a story for the blog.
Whenever I read some news on the several Internet sites I peruse during the day, I think to myself, “I have an opinion on that. I should probably write about it on my blog.”
Someday, as they are frantically wheeling me down a hall in the hospital to try to save me from the several debilitating ailments I expect to befall me at any time now, I will think, “This would make a great story for my blog.”
I have mentioned a few times that I have, not so much a brain, as an obsessive organ inside my head that fixes like a laser on a thing and won’t let go. It has been sort of like a circulating radar apparatus, searching the skies for some input.
One day in April, my radar brain picked up some faint signals from the blogosphere. They grew in itensity. Now I am trapped.
Help me!
