To Blog or Not to Blog
[With apologies to William Shakespeare]
My friend Curt started blogging a few weeks back.
If you are thinking, “That must have hurt” or “Isn’t there a cure for that yet?”, then you are out of touch with the modern world (or not nearly as dorky as I).
Blogging is the act of writing a weblog, blog for short. Blogs can be about almost anything. Some writers cover current events with opinions and commentaries that rival syndicated columns; some people write daily journals for their friends and family; and others write for the same mysterious reason that made the very first writer pick up a stick and scratch something out in the sand.
Curt, for the most part, is beyond the days of sand scratching. Curt writes about marriage in a hostile world. His site is called The Happy Husband. He has wonderful insights into life, love, and marriage. Definitely worth a daily read.
Actually, Curt is The Happy Husband. He and his Happy Wife live on a Happy Island. This Happy Friend used to be the Happy Roommate of the Happy Husband when he was just a Happy Guy and the Happy Wife was a Happy Friend who came to visit often at the Happy Guys’ Happy Apartment. Oh crap!! Sorry about that I accidentally spilled the Happy and it got all over the place.
So now that my friend Curt is blogging on a daily basis, I feel pressured to also blog. I understand that even second-hand blogging can increase my chances of serious disease, so what would it hurt if I just blogged a little myself from time to time. I don’t think I would blog everyday. It won’t be a habit. The major tobacco companies have said themselves that it isn’t addictive. Oh, wait… I’m confused.
I am not sure if I will blog everyday, but my current plan is to start blogging on a semi-regular basis, at least once or twice per week. I’ve added some odds-and-ends that will change daily on their own (such as the pictures and quotes at the right). I’ll be adding a photo gallery soon (maybe even a photolog or two).
I also will be reporting more on the lives of the folks in Peachwater, Tx. itself. I’ve recently made a trip out there and have lots of good info to pass along. BTW, the Festival is still cancelled.
