A Blog Within A Blog
Who comes up with names like “blog?” And why do we spend time reading blogs? Instead of reading this one, you could be actually working, taking a restroom break, reading something else online, reading a magazine, watching a TV show on your phone or taking a quiet break.
Another question is why do some blogs attract a lot of responses while others don’t? When we talk about favorite movies or snacks in a vending machine, we love to chime in. But when it comes to business or practical issues, we like to stay on the sidelines. I wonder.
Today I thought I would try something different: A blog within a blog. Who knows, it might get all my readers off the sideline or quit reading this altogether! Enjoy.
Gary L. blogged: “I’ll comment on anything. I don’t understand all the fuss on most things and am pretty simple minded. I like humor and wonder why people can’t adopt to the way it is and enjoy life.”
Daniel blogged: “I barely have time to get all my work done let alone read or comment about a blog. I’m up to 2AM doing reports and searching the web for new products and preparing spreadsheet after spreadsheet. It’s no wonder I have had the flu for a week.”
Jane P. blogged: “I like to comment on everything. That’s what makes blogs so much fun!”
Ted R. blogged: “Cruising is fun but I can’t wait to spend time on my own boat. I love being on the boat by myself with a little wine, jazz in the background and no one bothering me. Is it May yet?”
Tony Cuccio blogged: “F___ this, I’m still trying to figure out what the fuss about Windows is. I have them cleaned once a year. And besides, why blog when you can be at the track?”
Tom T. blogged: “We are tracking 3 times orders vs. shipments; 40% calls to sales; and our flow for the month is at or above target which means we are tracking at close to 102% of budget.”
Mark L. blogged: “It sucks being sick. I’ve never been sick before and now I know the feeling.”
Dawn K. blogged: “I am so excited about SAP. Never in my wildest dream did I think it would involve me working 6 days a week 12 hours a day and still not being caught up. This is so much fun I can’t stand it.”
The BUB blogged: “Honey, I know what you are thinking and I know what you are doing and I’m just letting you know not to blog about me or else!”
Max Sortino blogged: “Let me tell you what is going on right now in the industry and the world: Nothing but nothing. It’s been that way and is going to be that way. Thank God for the Hampton’s, hot water, cable TV and Diet Coke.”
A-Rod blogged: “Hey, I was young, stupid and didn’t know better. I just got a contract for $170 million and I needed to perform. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.”
Jodi B. blogged: “I love, love, love Kemon. I’ve never been more excited about anything in my whole life. Do you need some Kemon?”
Happy Tuesday!

This is fantastic! It is all different types of blogging! It’s like saying, I wonder what this person is thinking and Well then you see it on here and think, oh well there ya go! I have to admit I used to read the blog more often. But nowadays I am so focused on my tasks that I really am not able to! But these past few I have and I forget how funny and clever they really are! Makes my day! I am shocked there are not more comments to this one!

LOL – Tony always minding his manners.
I like the blog because the topic is a daily surprise. Some days it’s inspiring, some days funny and some days educational.
It’s like a box of chocolates…..

it was like peeking into windows as you walk down the street. cool blog and good point at the beginning. The reason I don’t comment on business or other practical things is because I fear my own stupidity!

The simple mind is a gift that enables me to filter out all of the unnecessary complications that people generate.

Gary you don’t have to justify your simple mind. We’ve known about it for
years.
Whaoooooo……

The word blog is short for web log.

Thanks for adding me to the list! Sometimes we don’t respond because we get attacked by the other bloggers! I do enjoy your blogs on business the most. I’ll try to respond more. I do read every night.

People comment on blogs when either: the subject is not very important (subject to personal opinion) or extremely incendiary. In business blogs, I have never experienced the same level of participation as: gaming, technical, or political. Subjects where there is a lot of zealotry seem to really get people involved.
Drop in on some random techie blog and state that emacs is better than vi or windows is better than linux. You will see a flurry of comments within the hour that may wipe your hard drive.
But more so the world is becoming apathetic. It used to be my favorite pastime to disagree with people to see how they might defend their position. Lately, people are more likely to just get mad and not defend their position. They are either afraid of being wrong or have become that apathetic. That takes all the fun out of debating an issue.
Be incendiary. stir up a debate.
