OnBlogging: Writing,Blogging,Loving,Flirting...

Writing is a serious thing. Blogging is a fling.If writing is loving then blogging is flirting. Writers spend months,years or decades to produce a jewel that shines beyond their lifetimes.Writing needs patience. Writer is a believer. He isn't lazy and he might work his ass off trying to find that one right word that sometimes doesn't even exist. Like love it eludes but he is at it, focused, oblivious of the life passing by.This creativity to his satisfaction is his life.Writers are a different breed. Rare and Dying!

'Writers are assholes! ' -- a blogger may write thus and attract more than hundred million visits. He may title his blog 'the best page in the universe' and hoardes of easily impressionable idiots may scoop every pointless point he poops in there. And that exactly is the point of blogging.You may be dumb,different,dissent or indecent; you still can publish and reach out to your kinds. So is my attempt.

Blogger is a 'cool dude'.He is seldom fixated with a word. He works with the substitutes.Mostly he writes crap. So, most of the blog titles have words synonymous with nonsense,madness,confusion etc. Most blogs die their own slow death .Few others, however readable are easily forgetable. Who cares?! Like a flirtatious glance it is to be enjoyed while it lasts. Why to ponder over its permanence?

Blogosphere is buzz with newness. Blogspace is more a place to share than to create. An active blogger posts frequently and an active blog has larger no. of visitors sometimes quantified by Alexa Rank. This activity pretty much sums up the life as a Blogger. Shelf life of a post seldom goes beyond the last posted comment. Bloggers are breeding. Already too many and increasing.

I see blogging as my flirting with writing. Flirting may lead to love and I may write something someday.Hope never dies! Until that time I would like to 'post' things here that I could edit, re-edit and revisit many times even after the last commet has been posted and replied!

Bimbo says there is no harm in healthy flirting. I am not sure what she means by 'healthy' but I shall accept her unquestioningly.She is always right.. :)

And for all you dumbos who are new to blogging here's a starter.Educate yourself!!
