My blog is taking over my life.
My life was dysfunctional in many an aspect already when I began the blog. The idea was to express in words my dysfunction, to anyone who would care to listen and for my self to realize what was happening. Now the dysfunction is increasing alarmingly.
This is what is happening
Obsession: From the food I eat to the movie I watch is treated like a prospective blog post.
# “How do I convert this conversation in to a blog post.” When discussing something funny with the best friend.
# “I wish I had a digital camera so that I could make my blog a semi-photo blog.” While taking snaps of my friends on their graduation.
# A friend was going through a breakup and I, “this sounds like good material for at least 5 blog posts.”
# I see this kid on the street with clear grade3 malnutrition and “I should blog about street kids.” (After walking past I realized what I had done so I went back and got the kid food)
# Waking, sleeping, eating, talking, reading, what ever be happening my mind goes “GottaBlogGottaBlogGottaBlogGottaBlogGottaBlog”
Identity Crisis: Who am I Dysfunctional desi blogger or maladjusted lazy medical student?
# Went to this meeting and was asked to introduce my self. Usually it’s “Schizo final year medical student CMC vellore.” now it is “Schizo, desi blogger, BOD”
# “What you up to these days?.”Correct answer; “studying, have exams in feb.” Answer now; “Blogging, mostly, or finding stuff to blog about”
# “Hey! buddy wassup?” “nothing much, blog goes on”
Amnesia: Disturbing of space time continuum
# All I remember is getting up , logging on around 9 in the morning, its 5 pm now.
# “5 minutes more” after 3 hours of web comic reading. I got up when they switched off the server for the day
Conclusion
After much deliberation and researching I am convinced that either the government, aliens, or my evil mother in law are responsible for the creation of this cosmic all pervasive deluding entity called blog. The Creation of this entity has cause unprecedented havoc in the personal and public lives of millions of people worldwide. I advice all tempted men and women to make this decision after much deliberation. Let us resit from withing and not let this monster take over our lives.
Ciao

sadly, it’s also true in my case. i actually feel anxious if i don’t post once a day! kind of like anal people who think if they don’t do number two in the toilet every day they’re going to get constipated or something.

yes, i so know what you mean. initially, i only posted about once a week, and then it became once a few days and at times, daily, but then there’s also that pressure of having a good blog post that sometimes prevents me from posting daily, it’s like , you feel like you need to have something good before you post, you know.

I just started a blog too, and I’m having the same experience. I’m so busy! But, I wish I could have blogged when I was in med school. A creative outlet can save you from the soul crushing. Dr. Nostrum

Yep. You got it right.
But there are a lot of us. And someday maybe we’ll take over the world.
Hmmm. Probably not a very good idea. But still ….
My friends roll their eyes when they hear me say, ‘Oooh. Blog entry!”
