Blog Sucking Nosferatu
May 11, 2006I’ve been dreading to blog about this…but it seems that my fingers had a mind of their own. Before I got the sense to stop them they’ve already started tapping the keypads and the computer screen started to fill up with words and before I knew I the post button was clicked. A blog about blogging (Analia, hope you haven’t copyrighted this too
). An ultimate sign that blogging has taken over your life… a blogger’s nightmare or fantasy?
I started this blog to vent out some pent up emotions inside me. Instead of focusing all my energies towards plotting the early demise of my ex, I blogged. At first I didn’t give a shit about what others might say (I still don’t!) but my friends said they liked the crap that I’m serving them. I got encouraged and as Anomaly(the one who sired me in Dotph) told me, that I’ve turned into a blog sucking nosferatu. The term reminiscent of our Anne Rice addiction. I blog almost everyday. I blog about anything that or don’t make sense to me. I even blog about other people’s blog. I spend more time blogging than working. I’m physically present at work but my mind and spirit is flying around the blogosphere. I haven’t receive any complaints from my boss yet about the quality of my work meaning
a.) I got her duped
b.) My job doesn’t require a brain(a tailor made job for me
)
or God Forbid!
C.) she’s reading my blog and she’s just waiting for the right opportunity to axe me.
The homepage of i.ph has become a permanent fixture on my computer screen that some might mistake it for my wallpaper. I wait for the recently updated blogs and hopped around from blog to blog . I’m actually enjoying it. I leave comments here and there. It seems that blogging is not only an outlet but it has now opened a new world for me. A world within a world. It seemed that all people from different walks of life have blogs from lawyers to artists to bands to organizations to couples and etc. It’s like a microcosm of the real world. Maybe because it is a live journal of real people!? Duh Floraine! A place where people mend their broken hearts & dreams. A world where guys shows off their soft sides. Yup I’m actually amazed that guys who are senti and hopeless romantics still exist. Gals & guys alike still believe in soul mates. I guess the anonymity gives them courage to show their real selves and share their innermost thoughts. A place to meet new friends and to find new love. Yup you heard me right,L-O-V-E. I stumbled upon these 2 blogs where a romance was developed in between comments & tags (Really!).
Even if I’m away from my PC, I still think about blogging. I can’t quench this overwhelming desire to feed. I thirst & crave for it. Every insight I have, book I read, movie I saw, music I heard, I mentally size them up to check if it’s worth blogging. I even rummaged through my old journals to recycle some thoughts that I wanna share with the world.
Blog to live or live to blog? That now seems to be my mind boggling/blogging question.
Child beware of that embrace … you might be caught unawares and might just wake up one day and feel that Blog lust.

Just dropped by to say hi, and thanks for dropping by my site.
Nothing wrong with being a blog addict, it's a hell of a lot better than being addicted to something else, right? Just make sure you know where your priorities lie, and you'll be alright.
@alvin:i was planning to let my grandkids read my journals…it's more.."sanitized"(read:not much cussing)
@snglguy:the pleasure's mine
you're right but i guess just like any addiction i'll outgrow this one.




I know exactly how you feel.
I started blogging just to have something I can show my future cute grandkids…. but now things are different. I want to blog about everything…
