My super cool counter thingy tells everything or it tells a lie. Zero visits in the past two weeks. Well I KNOW THAT'S wrong.
Which leads me to believe it has always been wrong. Except that real human beens -- from South Africa, from India, from The Phillippines -- have commented ON MY BLOG. I did NOT make this up. Now they're not.
But in any event, it is like the calming,endless sound of the waves lapping up on the shore. It's all about human exchanges and laughs and ideas.
Without them, this is a pointless exercise. It is like "If a tree falls in the forest and no one heard it or saw it fall, DID it fall?
Without the human exchanges -- And this is partly my fault because I've been visiting so few blogs -- it's all so pointless. An era is over. I may go blog somewhere else.
I Farcebook, the same as everyone else. But the thought of less thought and devolving into a dinosaur, potentially, doesn't appeal to me. Because, as we all know, dinosaurs with their small brains, became extinct.
I don't want that. If I can help it.

ReplyDeleteOh Chris, we're still here. at least I am. but i know what you mean. i guess the day to day stuff gets in the way.
ReplyDeleteHey, we're still here. at least I am. just reading from my google reader though. but i know what you mean. i've found much to my dismay that the day to day stuff has a way of creeping up on you, reducing the time spent connecting.

I'm supposed to be on summer hiatus which is why I haven't been around.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'm addicted to blogging and have done several posts during my hiatus.
MJ: Good to hear. I'm going to start gettin out and about. Even during your summer hiatus!
ReplyDeleteI visit your blog all the time...I should make a point to comment more often. I agree with you that human exchange, and exchange of ideas (above updating a status) is important.
ReplyDeleteAnnie: Yes you should. Otherwise you have barey been a whisper in the wnd. And as invisible.
ReplyDeleteWow! Comments in the double digits! Amazing!
ReplyDeletePoint taken...well said...thanks Chris
ReplyDeleteand Yay! for double digits
Annie: Yes, Yay for Double Digits!
ReplyDeleteWe can't escape commercialism. It's like a shark feeding frenzy. On Farcebbok, we seem unable to rid ourselves of Pepsi or Doritos.
ReplyDeleteHo-Hum. Chomp chomp chomp.
