Hitting Blog-Bottom: Bloggers Anonymous

February 19th 2007 12:53
In addiction and recovery circles there is a concept known as "hitting bottom." This is a very personal thing, and generally represents when an addicted individual can no longer tolerate the wreckage his or her addiction has wrought upon his or her experience. Often it means losing family, job, health, house, and whatever else may be of value.

In blog circles, this is referred to as hitting blog-bottom. You know you have reached blog-bottom when you are more focused on the blogging than on other aspects of your life that are important. For instance, I know I've reached blog-bottom when I sit and stare at the computer rather than answer the phone, join my family for a meal, or worse yet, urinate on myself so I don't have to leave the cyber-area.


Help me out here. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE REACHED BLOG-BOTTOM WHEN...fill in the blank)...

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE REACHED BLOG-BOTTOM WHEN:

...you tell your husband to not disturb you ("yeah yeah hon...hang on a sec") because you're busy blogging about how wonderful it is to spend time with him...

Yes. It happened once.
The hypocrisy hit me as soon as I said it.

...and I'm never hitting blog bottom again...

you know you've hit blog bottom when you ignore your sexy latin girlfriend who is shaking her behind with gusto to write about the nba.

You know you've hit blog bottom when you drop the kid's off at school, blog away for seemingly an hour or too while eating all meals at the computer (or like today and not eating at all) and then end up having to run to school right on school's 'out' time.

Thanks for the reminder to pick my kids up today Deorre! ; )

You know you've hit blog bottom when: you forget what day and month it is--- yep, I've been there

You just get so busy writing sometimes that the clock seems to be spinning out of control.

Great job Deorre.
