Day five here and this newly minted blogger is asking herself why they don't call this "slogging" instead of "blogging". It's no picnic sitting down to the computer at the end of a full day of sitting at the computer. I suppose I should be grateful, especially after watching the news about the earthquake in Haiti. Compared to that, typing can't possibly be considered tortureous. Although, being a word person, the fact that waterboarding and keyboarding both have the same ending is a little unsettling.
Actually, the trouble is not the typing, it's the story. It's not like I'm Hillary Clinton, here. I didn't have to call off my world tour to oversee the delivery of humanitarian aid to the masses. No. I have to hurry home after a visit to the post office so that the bean soup doesn't burn. Average, average, average. Life can be so run of the mill!
But when I recall all those celebrities, congressmen and other famous types Twittering things like, "I just had a refreshing run!" or "I'm in the car on my way to pick up my (celebrity) kids," I'm thinking that daily life, no matter who you are, is quite plain. Mostly filled with common responsibilities that once they hit the keyboard, sound lame, regardless of who says them.
I guess it's not so much about the "who" or the "what", but the "why" that's interesting. Yes, that's it. And it releases me from the responsibiltiy to have any purpose in this blog other than to explore the endless possiblities of whatever! That could be pretty juicy stuff... or not.

Life in general is overall 'Average' ~ it's what we make of our Average Day that matters. Whether we're sitting at a keyboard or waterboarding our unruly family member - what's average for me might not be average for you. But all in all - it's our Own Day, isn't it? I've shared your blog with a few other family members...the readers just keep coming Vic.
ReplyDeleteYou make an interesting case for getting up and out of bed every day. And I hadn't thought about the prospect of waterboarding my unruly family (or my unruly friends), but it's an interesting concept.
ReplyDeleteRight now with the weather we're having, it feels like God is waterboarding Seattle!
