“War does not determine who is right - only who is left. ~Bertrand Russell"
Recently my father started to blog, and every time he posted a blog he would get all ecstatic about it. "Go read my blog!” was used often by papa and I would say the same thing but replace the word blog with 'status'. Call me a facebook addict if you want! In fact we were given a sheet of paper at school to vote for people according to specific categories. There was a"Facebook Addict" category and I got 4 votes! Okay, I am going off a tangent.
Back to Papa the great! he gets all excited when he gets 50 page views a day. That's similar to me getting excited with 100 likes on something. This is I think the second week of his Blogaddiction [Blog- Addiction] Today I was awoken up by him saying "Already 27 page views!" I was too sleepy to react to that! He advertises the blog mainly on Facebook. Okay, so he's all excited about his blog...you readers got that, right? If you don’t, well yeah he is highly captivated with Blogging. He is one side of the story and the war.
My mother began blogging about a year or so ago. But she never advertised her's on facebook or twitter or any social networking site in the beginning. I don't remember how her reactions were when she started blogging. How would I anyway? It was a year ago! But I do remember that she never went jumping around the house! She advertised it in her own way! She didn't shout it out in the house! If I compare my dad's blogging to my facebook-ing, it’s only fair to compare my mommy's blogging to my sister's facebook-ing! She has always been calm about the blogging business and everything, unless she thinks she lost something! After she writes something she says "Go read my blog" in this sweet tone which is like my sister asking us to go through her pictures updated on facebook! She wasn't very obsessed with blog spot when she began, as far as I remember! She wrote blogs neither very often nor very rarely. She wrote it, I guess, when it was right time.
Now since my father started blogging and he has a habit of showing off to mother,( Like teasing her about it!) she had to get more views than him...and so the conflict began. She has this urge to outdo him (She has an honors in English Literature!)She has a kind of advanced dictionary in her head! Daddy has to outdo her to show that even though he doesn't have any training, he can do it better.
Okay, the above is just my theory. No offense to either of you. You know I love you all.
Today they had a conflict, I don't remember everything clearly, so here are a few.
Mommy : I didn’t get any page views today! :C
Daddy : I haven’t got any new people reading my blog :C
Mommy : Ohhhh Look! I have got 8 views today! I have 600 views in a year! :D
Daddy : No, don’t see that! See the monthly views *Clicks on monthly views* *Shows 257* See, I have 270, I win. :D
Then umm, they defended each other with shouts and stuff, but I can’t remember it for some reason. :P
Then after that, I went to them...opened my arms and gave them both a baby bear hug from me together. I bind the family together, don’t I? <3
After that, I thought I thought I should re-start my blogging. Wouldn’t it be cool if I outdo both of them? Ha-ha! Help me outdo them! xD
Wow ! I am impressed !! I thought i was a blog king - now i know that we are blog family !! keep it up - i like your light style of writing and the way you brought the family together - connecting fb and blogspot ...all with the wonderful huggies that you give.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will be able to outdo me in the next few years; am not talking about mama, cos she is far behind me and you will surpass her very soon.;)
Yup me too! That is I am impressed with your FB style blogging! Its unique and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether you will surpass papa or not but I definitely will in Quality not quantity!
