I remember when I had big, big plans as a blogger, and an appalling level of ambition. Thousands of visitors a day, I envisioned. Tens of thousands, perhaps. A stratospheric ranking in the TTLB ecosystem – ‘Playful Primate’ at the very least, if not a ‘Higher Being.’ A Technorati ranking that would be the envy of all. And ad revenue – my God, how the money would roll in!
It is a great relief to have that illusion dispelled. Thank you, life, for freeing me.
That is all.
Note: This is not a ‘goodbye, cruel world’ post. I was just poking fun at my former blogging mind-set. Apologies to any who may have been misled.
See what happens when you try to be wry? Let this be a lesson to all.
Phil, I must admit that I, for one, quite enjoy your blog. I think it has a changed a good deal since I started reading -believe the KWMU/Patty Wente debacle was the impetus- I suspect you may not have the time to put into it that you use to or perhaps, wisely chose to redirect that time to more enjoyable pursuits...
I still my remember my waggish comment regarding one of you posts about people 'believing the end of the world was coming' and I replied with a reference to the Large Hadron Collider... I still get a chuckle out of that, guess I'm too easily amused at myself.
I hope it does not go away anytime soon....
