Blogitis

Bob recently told me about an article he read about the growing number of people having emotional breakdowns and psychological issues because of the pressure of updating their blog regularly. I can't say that I have this problem, but the Bitches do....

Instead, I would diagnose myself with another problem. I think about blogging too much; or writing anyways. Whenever anything happens to me, big or small, my mind immediately starts writing about it. Later, in front of the computer, I try to conjure up the imagery and the beautiful things I had intended to write, but by then it is gone. Anything I write seems pale and insignificant compared to the beautiful, now-ethereal, prose of my mind. So in some ways, my writing is a continual disappointment.

And yet, I know that it is better for me to write this here and now then to write nothing at all. At least this way, I will have a legacy. You can read this and remember me when I'm away for a moment, a month, a lifetime, or for good.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only crazy one.

Interesting, I just started a blog because of you. You write beautifully and it WILL be something for others to get to know you by years from now.
If nothing else you are simply amusing!

he he he. stupid people. I'm always disappointed when I didn't have a camera handy too when something interesting happens to me and then I feel I can't blog it properly.
