Beyond Blogging

These days, bloggers are everywhere.  How boring. I can remember when I first heard the word--it was so odd, almost extra-terrestrial. Same with the word Google. What could they possibly mean, those very strange words? How different, how exciting!

Now everyone is a blogger. (And most are blahgers, meaning blah blah blah. By the way, I put myself in that category.) Every job board is seeking bloggers to blog about all kinds of things, mostly having to do with green, social, sustainability and political issues. Another popular blogging request is about interior decorating. What's to say about that? Get a couch, get a few chairs, a dining room table, a bed, maybe a dresser...you're good to go.

 Nobody is seeking bloggers on the subjects of death and dying, for example, something that happens to everyone, yet few people are prepared for it and nobody ever wants to talk about it!

Perhaps I will start a Death Blog.  To make it palatable, maybe it should be about the funny side of death.

To be continued...

so, there is something funny about dying?

Well, for starters, what's funny is that everyone will die, and yet whenever someone does, everyone is so SHOCKED! I think that is pretty damn funny!
