Ode to my Blog.

It's Wednesday afternoon and I just realized that yesterday my blog turned 18 months old. I've never been big on anniversaries, but for some reason this one just feels special. I haven’t always paid close attention to my blog but after 18 months I've grown rather attached to my blog. In turn, I think it has sort of taken a liking to me as well. It's a relatively plain blog. Not for lack of potential, but mainly because its owner is too lazy to figure out all the fancy blog gadgets that seem to decorate the pages of other blogs. Sometimes I feel sorry that my blog is so plain, but I think it's character building. My blog will learn to stand on it's own without hiding behind flashy and shallow exteriors.

Unfortunately my blog doesn't have much of an opinion most of the time. In fact, it's never really said anything. Sometimes when I'm alone in bed at night I wonder what my blog could say if it could talk. Would it ask for more content? Larger font? Perhaps a few more web links here and there. I guess I'll never know really. However, if I was my blog I think I'd probably ask for more pictures. Possibly of women in bikinis. Or maybe some clowns and circus midgets. Of course I'm not my blog so this is all pointless speculation.

I sometimes wish my blog could interact with the other blogs. I think it would play well with the others. It wouldn't push the other blogs around or bully them at all. I'd like to think my blog would be a kind, understanding, and gentle blog. Accepting of others and embracing blog diversity. I would like to think it would stand up for less fortunate blogs and fight against the tyranny of blog aggressors.

Overall I think my blog is pretty darn lucky to have me as an owner. So lucky that if my blog could play the lottery I bet it would win. Then my blog could loan me some money at a very low rate of interest so I could buy the Ferrari I've always wanted. Plus I doubt blogs pay taxes so it would get to keep the entire jackpot.

I thought about getting another blog, but I don't think I could give both of them the attention they deserve. Not that my blog is jealous, it just requires time and energy. Time and energy that I couldn't spare to have another blog. I want to give 110% to my blog, not 55% to separate blogs.

I'm proud of my blog and hope it continues to grow into a fine example that blogs everywhere can look to for guidance. HAPPY 18 MONTH BIRTHDAY BLOG!!!
