Ok, I confess, I’m getting slightly obsessive about this blogging thing. I find it really relaxing and a fantastic way to sort out what I’m thinking about in a semi-productive way. It’s great writing practice, excellent free “therapy,” and a way to connect with people who share my interests and opinions (or don’t, and that’s interesting too). The thing is, I’m starting to get an itch for world domination.

Maybe that didn’t come out quite right. Domination is such a strong word. But really, I want my blog read in every continent on earth. I realize that I don’t have much of a chance in Antarctica, but the populated continents are fair game. So far I’m in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia (Kiwi’s, how do I include you? What continent are you on? Is there an updated term for the Australian continent? I’m so lost on this point.).

C’mon Africa and South America, help a blogger out! Just stop by. You don’t even have to like anything you read, or follow the blog, or comment. I would dearly love it if you would (that goes for everyone, not just Africans and South Americans), but it isn’t necessary. Just give me a chance at international glory, is that too much to ask?

You hear people talking about addictive personalities. I don’t know if that’s a real, medically recognized “thing” but I do know that I hear the phrase fairly often. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with an addictive personality, but just this morning I started to wonder. You see, most days I check in here at the ‘ole blog (it’s been around since June) hoping to see that lots of people have surfed their way over to read my gems of wit and wisdom. Most days that doesn’t happen. Still, I find that checking out the blog stats is sort of a ritual for me.  It dawned on me that it’s become a habit, and a pressing one at that.

So the big question rattling around in my brain, is whether I’m prone to “addictions” or not. I’m not drug or alcohol addicted. I’m not addicted to tobacco or adrenaline inducing activities (quite the opposite, I’m kind of a ‘fraidy cat). I do have this thing with food, though. Is it an addiction? I’m not sure, but maybe I need to learn more about it. I tend to think not. Just like this blogging thing, I think it’s more of a zealous interest than an addiction.  Now if we could only get some more folks over hear to read and follow this blog, I would have something to really get zealous about!
