A little weary of blogging recently, I'm thinking of lighting the place on fire with a name change. What do you think about "Phronesisaicalitidiousnessolation"?
Too long--and reader unfriendly. Sisenorpical? Anyway, I'm sorry to learn you're wearying. Especially on my first guilty peak back after just abandoning the regular banter. I'm Web weary too, but not sure why. I feel a little like an apathetic voter (as in, "it never made any difference the last times!"). Or a jaded lover ("It never calls... I just give, give, give"). The feeling of community online is so much in the head that it very easily goes where the head goes. Eyes on the prize, helmut! I mean, whatever it is.
Don't feel guilty, MT. You've been loyal and I really do appreciate it. But I certainly can't demand it.
I've never been sure if blogs are about building community. I guess some are - maybe Kos, places that are intentionally built to generate loyal activity. But there are so many blogs now that it's more like going out for a beer with someone than building a community, if you can even find someone to go with you for a beer.
Even though the sound of it
ReplyDeleteIs something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious:
Phronesisaicalitidiousnessolation!
I like "the Phron"
