Whither The Blame Game?

Do you know this is one-thousand-seven-hundredth post on this blog thing?  I started it long ago.  I will probably continue it into the future.  As long as I do my show.  I have a couple of abandoned blogs out there, which I promise to myself I'll return to, but this one stays with me.  Like a wart.

Which is fine, I love Self Help Radio.  I just am not entirely sure why I started this blog in the first place.  I think I meant it to be somehow related to the show, but of course the show - which is on the radio - & which, in general, hasn't been something a lot of folks wanted to do more than listen to - well, the vast majority of folks don't want to listen to it, but I understand that - the show has about as much in common with a blog as I do with your average Clear Channel on-air personality.  I wonder if those folks have blogs.  Or do they have interns who write them for them?

I forgot what I was talking about.  Oh yeah, seven hundred & one thousand posts.  I used to try to give away things to folks who responded to these posts on these anniversaries, but that's hard when no one reads them.  Also a reason not to have a blog!  What is a blog without readers?

On one of my abandoned blogs I wrote something I thought was funny about nude photographs of the great Renaissance poisoner (alleged) Lucrezia Borgia.  I joked that someone had found nude photos of her or something like that.  You know, since she existed a couple of centuries before photography.  That was the joke.  Ho ho.  But it turns out there's a "star" of pornographic movies with that name.  & because of that - that name plus "nude photos" - that became my most popular post on that abandoned blog.  To this day people find the blog looking for a porno "actress."

In any event, as I muse with a little melancholy about my useless writing, I still have a radio show to do & it's on tonight, from 10pm to midnight, on 88.1 fm in Lexington & online at wrfl.fm.  Maybe someone will listen - since it's more likely to accidentally stumble onto a radio station than onto a blog.

& here's to 1700 more!

Ugh.  That made my stomach hurt.
