Back in the days of high-school advising, we would often start off Monday’s homeroom session with “Happys and Crappys”, where each gal had a chance to share something lovely and something not so lovely from her weekend. Giving 11th grade girls the opportunity to proclaim their personal experiences aloud is a gold mine for getting their attention quickly, but then devolves into LOUDSHARINGFEST, where everyone is shrieking about the drunk text they got Saturday morning or how their mom threatened to taser them if they didn’t clean their room.
Well, I have a less dramatic Happy and Crappy to share related to this here BLOG. The HAPPY is that it’s proven itself very silly yet very fun, and has managed to attract the attention of a few hundred folks every month. I completely missed the fact that Friday’s was the 100th post, and I THANK YOU for following along. Can’t exactly retire on the wild earnings from this thing yet (joke), but the emotional profits come from reverse-stalking all the stats on those who find their way here. Like, you. Thank you, GoogleAnalytics, for being such a strange and creepy-useful invention.
The CRAPPY is that alllll day Saturday this site only had ONE VISIT! Sad! The previous days had a few dozen each, but apparently yesterday this link became highly forgettable. Ah, well. I guess a sub-HAPPY would be that the lonely greenerie reader was tuning in from BANGALORE, INDIA! How cool is that!
My push to start blogging partially stems from reading The World is Flat, which kicks off in Bangalore and describes where The Internet’s “cutting edge” currently lives. I think it fitting that if this site were never read by anyone again, at least it ended with an enlightened post-modern viewer in the city that is synonymous with globalization.
