Do you ever wonder why you post?
Take today, for example. I spent my entire work day writing.
Writing, writing, writing.
Why in the world would I want to sit down and write something else?
Why do we post? Why do we write stuff when writing is what we do all day? Therapy? Obligation? Fun?
Who do we do this for? We sit at work all day long pushing paper for “the man” and then sit down all over again to post. Do we do this for ourselves? For our blog friends?
I guess it’s all of the above depending on the day and circumstance. I guess today I feel like I’m writing out of sheer obligation. I have absolutely nothing to talk about, yet sometimes I feel this is yet another “task” in my daily duties. I love posting and would consider it a hobby, but do you ever wonder why you feel the need to post sometimes? I do.
Then again, I’m probably the only one who thinks about all this stuff because I worry about everything. E-VER-Y thing.
Today I had a bit of a revelation: You (generally) can’t rush quality. Unfortunately the majority of people I’m surrounded by don’t agree. I joked with someone about this very point todoay. Just think- if Da Vinci was rushed to complete the Mona Lisa she might have been smiling with big crusty yellow teeth- and while I’m sure people would stand in front of the portrait and stare for hours on end, I’m pretty positive it wouldn’t be for the same reasons they do now. Or Britney Spears. Do you think “Gimme More” would be the sheer genius it is because she rattled off the lyrics in about two minutes flat? I think not!
Okay- kidding about the Britney Spears thing. How dare I use her name and Da Vinci in the same paragraph right!?
Anyway, I was trying to think of a nice way to write that to someone… I couldn’t think of one. I should just use that, huh? Especially the Britney Spears thing. They would LOVE that.
Kidding.
Sort of.
The girl I work with is on vacation. You know what? I think she planned her trip on purpose. I think she had a secret meeting with the Powers That Be and paid them to tell her when things would be busy. Do you guys have coworkers that do that too? Man, I gotta get the number for those guys. I would have planned a vacation too! I feel a little jipped. If you guys have that number, share the love.
The fact that my family will be vacationing in Oman for Eid this weekend doesn’t help either. Did you know Oman is supposed to be one of the most beautiful places in the world? Um, little jealous. I think they must have called those Powers That Be guys too. Darn it! I’m telling you- I gotta get that number! Oh- and we get Molly. Boz and Lucy were excited to hear that. You say the word “Molly” and their ears perk and they start jumping around and getting all silly. It’s freaking ADORABLE. It’s like when I hear the word, “Will” only I don’t slobber as much as the pups do.
Anyway, that’s all I’ve got. I need to go home and get out of writing mode. What a quality-filled post!
not.
<3 More to come…
Long time no see! ... I’ve been out of the loop once again, but it’s raining! so I’m here. Anyway ... where was I going ... oh! I know the feeling of being obligated to post, but I tend to react the opposite way, I dont post anyway. You, on the other hand, have a way of making even nothing turn into something. You have a gift ... gift of what I’m not sure, but it’s still a gift. =)
I need to do a search on this most beautiful place in the world. Does it have mountains? I just need to look it up.
Ah HA! Can I share something totally stupid and off the wall? I even turning red just thinking about it. I’ve been smelling something almost sweet the past several minutes and couldnt place it for the life of me. There is nothing here in the office that smells like that .... except my deoderant, ewww! I can smell myself! I guess deod smell is better than stinking though. I even asked my dad “what’s that smell?” a few minutes ago haha! Ok, enough of this.
Glad I had a chance to catch up a little bit. I’ve missed you!
Have a lovely day!
