Does Anyone...???

It occurred to me that I don't know if anyone really uses Blogger.com anymore.  I sort of quickly did a search on a handful of listed blogs and found that literally none of them were still active.  Is it possible that I'm the only one still using this platform?!  Geesh.  I guess it isn't likely, really, but then again I can't find immediate evidence to the contrary.

I find the thinking of using the "latest thing" simply bizarre, to be blunt.  For example, I just did some searching about blog sites, etc., and found that pretty much all of them require you to pay some sort of monthly fees.  Blogger.com is completely free...so why would anyone switch to a paying model?  I guess the thought of being "hip" or "now" is just so overwhelming for most people, however it's a feeling that I rarely get or worry about.

Of course, having said that, no one really reads a word of what I write.  Hmm.  I guess I have a point there and maybe being "hip" isn't such a bad thing.

So, here's a question...where should I be writing blogs and such?  For example, I would like to start a short story blog, basically where I could post once a month a brand new short piece of fiction, not necessarily in any specific genre but more than likely leaning a bit comedic or light hearted.  I'd also like to create the aforementioned "...albums that have shaped me..." blog since I feel like there are quite a few hidden gems that some would find either beneficial or as valuable additions to their own collections.  So, where would potential readers like to see this?  If you happen to know, please contact me for I'm a bit lost.

I have no other news to report.  I'm still in healing mode with my ear, of course, and there's just something about these things that make me want to do absolutely nothing while it's happening.  It's sad, really.  I meant to mix this weekend but I just couldn't get the motivation for it.  I'm so paranoid at this point that the skin graft isn't taking that I'm kind of paralyzed with anxiety from doing anything else.  I guess we'll see how this Wednesday goes, where I'll promptly get a brand new hole in my head.  Can't wait.
