Aw crap!
I had planned a cop-out blog this morning. You know, something like a Top 10 of 2011, a look back at my favourite posts from the previous year. Turns out I only did 12 posts last year. Bad, bad blogger.
Thus the resolution to stay at this every day for 90 days. So onward.
As is my custom, I sat down with my coffee at the computer this morning to check out my favourite sites, check the weather, read a little news and check my blog stats. I mean, I write mostly for myself, but I can't help but take a look at how many people actually read this stuff. And I had a good day yesterday thanks, I'm sure, to my buddy Patrick's social media assistance. He tweeted and reposted yesterday's ramblings on his Facebook page.
On an average day, I see about 20 visitors, if I post the blog to Facebook. That number goes down to about 10 if I don't. Yesterday, I had 30 readers: 22 from Canada, six from the U.S., 1 from France and one from the Cayman Islands (Hi Steve!).
As for the news, well, I don't even want to talk about it this morning. Toxic, just toxic.
And then there's Facebook. I love some of the little posters or pictures that some folks find and share. Saw one this morning and thought, I've got to steal that and share it. Why? I actually thought about it this morning. It's this one:
Now I didn't repost this, even though I really wanted to. After all, it would make me look smart, superior. I honestly have no idea who the drunk chick on the right is. Pretty sure I've seen that pic in the tabloids in line at the grocery store checkout. But I don't know who it is.
But the kicker is the fact that I can only identify two folks on the left. Einstein and Hawking. That's it. And as much as I'd like to create the illusion that I know them all, just by posting this, I had to stop myself. Maybe after I figure them all out, I'll post it and then feel pretty smug. But for now, I just have to pride myself in NOT knowing who drunk chick is.
I guess I'm only partly what's wrong with the world today. If I learn who the rest of the good people are, I will in no way be responsible for what's wrong with the world today. It's a good goal.
Have a great Thursday. I've got some studying to do.
Glad I may have been able to push up the numbers yesterday. But i didn't do it for you. I did it cuz i thought what you call "ramblings" were worthy of others taking note. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the who's who in the pix. I am proud to say i don't know the drunk chick either. I know the two you identified. Here is third to add to the list: Karl Marx
Anyone else want to play this game?
I don't even watch the show she's on, and I know who she is! lol. It's awful.
ReplyDeleteShe's up there with Paris Hilton, who happens to be famous for . . . beats me. Being a high society idiot as far as I know.
I only knew Einstein and Hawking too. Oops.
