Although isn’t Tidbits of Life a great title for a post?
Sort of reminds me of a song from the soon-to-be-released-musical-as-a-movie Rent. I can just hear the chorus of the song now in my head:
Tidbits of life,
trouble and strife,
the kind we don’t like,
those tidbits of life.
The good and the bad,
that you and me had,
our tidbits, those big fits,
those tidbits of life.
It would be an exhilarating song.
It’s coming, people.
Unless you were living under a rock or something, you probably were aware that as of this very minute… Technorati confirms there are about 19.6 million blogs out there. That means that, just like the baggers at the supermarket getting excited about that one millionth customer…so to shall we be about the twenty millionth blog.
Oh, it’s coming.
The dreamer part of me believes that this twenty millionth blog could be something really special. It could be something amazing that we have never seen before. It could be the blog to end all blogs — the one to snap us all out of our complacency here in the world of blogs. Don’t deny it - you’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately with the amount of blog reading on your plate. You’ve been wondering where enthusiasm suddenly turned to overwhelmiasm. Well, no longer.
Never let them see you sweat.
It’s a phrase that we have heard from the dawn of time (except for the “real” dawn of time when I suspect that it was something more like, “Never let them see you wet” cause there’s nothing worse than a wet caveperson — I mean, you’re not showering in the first place and THEN you get wet?) Cavepeople seeing another caveperson who was totally wet from afar would probably think something like, oh god do I really even want to be near someone that LOOKS that smelly… Of course, they thought it in a less than sentencey structure if you know what I mean.
Me: “Hey, Paul.”
Me, 10 Years Ago: “Who’s this?”
Me: “It’s me, er, you. Paul.”
Me, 10 Years Ago: “Come again?”
Me: “It’s the version of you, ten years in the future, contacting you through the blog.”
Me, 10 Years Ago: “The what?”
Me: “The blog.”
Me, 10 Years Ago: “The what?”
Me: “The online weblog. Cyber diary. Digital journal.”
Me, 10 Years Ago: “Who is this, again?”
Me: “It’s you. From the future.”
Me, 10 Years Ago: Me? From the future?”
Me: “Are you on drugs or something?”
Long pause.
Me, 10 Years Ago: “Who is this again?”
Some things are never meant to be.
