Sixtieth post and what have I learned?
- Positive might be better than negative, but negative is funnier than positive.
- You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. Meaning, you can write whatever you want, however you want, but people are going to take away from it what they want, and interestingly enough, that’s a good thing.
- Ten posts ago I could not think of anything to write about. There was a period of posts where writing was like pulling teeth, I was pretty sure I was done. Now I feel like I can write forever.
- Forever isn’t all that long.
- When I get an idea I have to write it down, too many ideas are lost because I’m too lazy to make a simple note. (although I’m still not writing down ideas)
- Sometimes my posts are technically difficult to write, other times they are emotionally difficult to write. I’m not sure which I prefer, but I prefer either one of those to the posts that are both easy and un-emotional.
- I don’t like the prep or the cleanup, the actual task is never all that bad.
- I pay way to much attention to my stats here on WordPress.
- HGTV is great, but it is never as easy as they make it seem.
- No matter how tired my wife is, if the right song comes on the radio, such as ‘Play That Funky Music’ she can paint, wiggle and sing at the same time (at least for the duration of the song).
With the right song, I can eat wiggle and sing at the same time…
Like your post, and yes negative is funnier. You pay attention to stats? I obsess over comments, I forget to look at stats.
As for your headline… holy crap, are we supposed to learn stuff doing this???
I love the comments. I would love more of them. But I realize that most people simply don’t comment, at least not on my posts. The stats at least let me know there are people reading. I’m always checking the stats.
People comment. Some just don’t take the time to write it down!
Took me a moment. And yes, you are right.
Brahm can not eat, wiggle, and sing at the same time! Sheesh.
There are many points in your blog to which I can relate with respect to keeping a blog going. Thanks for letting me know it can get better with time.
All I can say is my sister said it is supposed to be fun. Usually it is, but it has its moments when I just want to give it all up. Sticking to a schedule does help, but I’m not always fond of the pressure.
I can eat, wiggle and sing at the same time, Kevin just hasn’t seen it yet… we have only been married a couple of weeks!
And good for you keeping to a schedule… I go in feast and famine, which is harder for people to follow I think.
So does this dispute count as your first marital spat?
What dispute?
How can you eat and sing at the same time? Then wiggle too? Really?
It does not matter how long we are married, no one can eat and sing at the same time!
Trying not to laugh.
Completely obsessed with stats, but I’m a data whore.
