simple stuff

[gurdonark]

I was thinking this morning about the childrens' television lessons that one learns from keeping a weblog. Here are a few that came to mind:

1. if one is to be un-friended, try to be un-friended for being oneself, rather than for being someone else;
2. no matter how exciting it seems, it's usually better placed behind the cut;
3. A simple formula lets one calculated the value of advice given via a weblog comment:
Value of Advice= 100 times seven, then times 6, then divide by 42 and then subtract 100, or perhaps subtract 101.
4. most of us need a little playtime and a fair bit of naptime
5. if you follow any weblog for years, you'll find that lots of things happen.
6. Folks get offended over nothing sometimes, but can on the other hand fail to be pleased by anything.
7. Everyone feels a bit misunderstood.

2) it seems i have a calculator in my subconscious mind -- when one of my posts hits a certain length, i automatically insert a cut, as if i can't bear to impose myself on my f-list past a cutoff point, and then the rest should be optional. well, it's all optional anyway, of course, but i don't want my posts to require scrolling and scrolling. *g*

5) boy howdy, lots of things do happen!

6) you are too, too right.

My calculator broke a few years ago. I should get a new one.

I love my Texas Instruments amortizing calculator, and yet never use it anymore.

My calculator is not so precise, and I often must do reparative work.
it's great to read years back and see how much people change and how much they stay the same. and oh, the drama of living :)

I really agree with #4... yes, we need more fun time and definitely naps.

[gurdonark.livejournal.com]

I don't nap nearly often enough.

I stand convicted on all counts and throw myself on the mercy of the court.

Well put!

thinking about it makes me want to be more grateful and to show more gratitude to others.

It's an interesting list, and one I will ponder as I go through the day.

your posts are just the right length :)

Definitely numbers 02, 04, and 05. This is a good list.

In the time of your weblog, you've discovered Antarctica, or some other city starting with an A, and also processed billions and billions of stars, I mean, items of data.

Simple stuff rewards those who stay in touch with it.
