This Beach Called Life - recent daily blog stats

People start blogging for many reasons but I think the main reasons are (a) because everybody is doing it, and (b) it’s cheaper than a short skirt. Soon, however, if we persist, we get very attached to our blog and it becomes a part of us just like our chiseled abs or our “Beyonce in a short skirt” desktop background. We worry about not posting and we assume once we write a post it becomes a significant part of the blog universe. We believe people read out blogs and hope it becomes a source of inspiration and envy just as our Nissan Almeras and women have become. Posting to our blog then becomes our fix.

beyonceThere is nothing bad about being addicted to blogging except it changes the way we look at the world causing us to go through life looking at every thing and every situation wondering if this could be our next blog post.

With this in mind, and in order to try to get a better understand the blogger’s mind, I developed a blog survey. I posted the questions below because I needed a fix but if you seriously want to help move blog science forward, then do the actual survey by clicking here.

(a)    What?

(b)    Once the price is right

    this survey reminded me of the Consultations that are held in Trinidad by the Oil & Gas Sector…

    Lol, nice little survey, would have taken it but I don’t blog( get enough attention in real life).

    • aka_lol // June 29, 2009 at 2:00 pm | Reply

      :D I thought you blogged but just not in English. Do you realize attention can also be addictive – lots of celebrities have that addiction and it is worst than botanical drug addictions ;)

      All surveys are designed to generate a desired response without the humor ;)

    Lol, I know about the addiction. Much worse people are addicted to celebrity news to me that is realy sick.

    • aka_lol // June 30, 2009 at 6:46 am | Reply

      I have a draft blog about celebrities somewhere and might post it soon, if it makes sense. We are all addicted to something and my addiction is air and water but and I have no intentions of breaking that addiction anytime soon ;)

    I did the survey. Made as much sense as anything else around here, and was much more fun. :D

      Scientific survey questions can appear deceptively foolish.
