Top Ten Signs Of Blogging Addiction

A couple of people I know who've been following my blog silently, asked me out for a drink recently. These are folks who actually know me, who read my blog but hardly ever comment.

We had a jolly good time - talked about how work sucks - incredible how everyone's job sucks. Talked about how the petrol price increase is gonna hurt us all. Talked about our vacation plans - and how they might not materialize because of financial realities. And - this pissed me off - talked about my so-called 'addiction' to blogging.

For people who don't blog, it's probably very hard to understand how much time is spent on a single blog entry. Bugger, there's brain juice getting squeezed every time I blog, ok? But I'm not addicted to blogging.

It's crap !!! I'm not addicted to blogging. Blogging is a way to release the stress of my daily existance. If one day, I were to find a better stress release mechanism, guess what? I might drop blogging.

Then after I convinced them I have a life, these buggers tried to convince me I'm addicted to the Internet. I'm so NOT addicted, ok fellas? Gimme your blog URL ... NOW ... I so wanna flame you guys !!

Anyways, just for you guys, here are the Top Ten Signs Of Blogging Addiction, just so you can make a checklist and see for yourself that Moz is NOT addicted to blogging. Also act as checklist for Top Ten Signs Of Internet Addiction

• The standard introduction line goes like ... "Hi, I'm http://mozillamonster.blogspot.com, how do you do ?"
• That girl Moz is dating? He found her on eBay !!!
  
• When told a funny joke, instead of laughing (like "Wakakakakakaka!!!"), you go "LOL!! ROTFL !!" instead. LOL.
• Instead of asking for phone numbers, asks for blog URLs from members of the opposite sex.
• Carries a camera everywhere just in case something interesting happens. Then takes picture of everything just in case you need some ideas for a blog.
  
• Refuses to be friends with you because you don't have Yahoo! Messenger.
• The doctor tells you you've developed Keyboard rashes.
• The last time you left your computer, MAS was still making profits.
• Your mum has to page your Yahoo! Messenger whenever she wants to tell you dinner is ready.
  
• Everytime there is a difficult problem facing you, you ask yourself: "What would Kenny Sia do in the same situation?"

Ok people ... see? See? Moz is not addicted to blogging. Moz is not addicted to Internet. OK ?

They can't bomb Bali away

Ok ... time to put words to action. One of the first goals I had when I migrated over to blogger was to move my Bali blogs over here.

However, seeing how good I actually am with laying out photoblogs, a cut and paste approach from my older blog will NOT work. You guys will stop reading this entry after I dunno ... er, say, 10 seconds? The truth is that it's toooooo many photos I have to fit into a single page.

So I'm guess I really should just do this up a little like a photo album style. I'm hoping this will make it more presentable and bearable to those who've been complaining about the loads of stuff they've had to bloody load from my photoblogs.

Another driver was the fact that Bali had been bombed a second time after my last trip, and what hit me was that one of the places I dined at was a target. How does that place and its activity relate to whatever fight these terrorists have is beyond me, it's an eating place serving FOOD. It wasn't even a disco - not that I thought there is a valid excuse to bomb anyplace at all in the first place.

Jimbaran, where I had seafood dinner overlooking a setting sun, was bombed in the recent attacks. There was nothing to bomb except diners enjoying a sunset. Woi?! Ada otak ke terrorists ni ?

You know, goodbye at Bali is often not forever. I have every intention of going back this year - even with the increased cost of living now. It's hard to believe such a place exists - a nice convergence of people, religion, culture, nature and California living.
