BLOG TRAFFIC: THE LINE STARTS OVER THERE

March 10, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Blog traffic is easy, so expect instant results. Start a blog, write a post, and stand back. The clouds part, the rain stops. You stand in the warming sunshine, not the blazing warm that melts asphalt in parking lot, but the cuddly warm of wearing strap t-shirts and cargo shorts. Let’s warm it up.

ADRENALINE DUMP? EMT SAYS, “IT’S A REAL THING”

March 9, 2024 by David Gillaspie

I’ve never heard of an adrenaline dump in this context: After an emergency situation you feel a need GO. An urgent need, but it’s during an emergency. If you’re wondering, ‘But Blogger D, what’s the big emergency?’ I’ll paint the picture:

OLD LESSON PLAN FOR NEW TIMES

March 8, 2024 by David Gillaspie

An old lesson plan? From Aristotle? Who needs one with new lessons every day? More like who doesn’t? Sometimes it takes a while for things to sink in.

COMMITMENT TIME, BUT TO WHAT

March 7, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Commitment time is like a broken clock being right twice a day. The difference is one. Make your promise when you get up, not when you go to bed. You’ve got enough going on to keep you awake.

REAL THINGS THAT GET MORE REAL, LIKE FEELINGS

March 6, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Real things are not a mystery. Maybe mysterious, but not a mystery. For that we can thank science. And thank some blogger for posting images too small to read. More mystery? Not with the right solution.

BLOGGER’S ROLE? IT DEPENDS ON . . . ?

March 5, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The blogger’s role depends on context. And money. If someone offered you $25,000 per post, and they give suggestions? Come on, you’d listen, I’d listen. Who wouldn’t listen? But who would start writing?

FOR OLDER PEOPLE: WHAT’S IT LIKE?

March 4, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Who doesn’t like a question directed to ‘older people?’ This was the question from twitter: I wonder what it’s like for the older people now, who were born in the previous millennium. How can people born in 1999 be old? Easy.

WORTH REMEMBERING? IT STARTS WITH EVERYTHING THEN A LITTLE LESS

March 3, 2024 by David Gillaspie

It’s worth remembering the important things in your life. Did I ever know about the lines in a red cup? Will it matter in the future? I like the idea of the lines meaning something, but I just want a full pour of whatever’s supposed to be in there.

WRITING TIME QUESTION: WHAT’S THE POINT?

March 1, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Writing time is running out? Now you tell me. But I don’t agree, or believe it. My writing time will run out one day, but that doesn’t let anyone else off the hook. Unless you’re dead. Then maybe.
