Blog to the Future

For some reason, micro-blogging (140 characters or less) has become quite popular while mega-blogging has not. 

But why stop at micro-blogging? Can't we please make it more X-TREME??! 

Assuming smaller=cooler, than nano-blogging > microblogging.

So why aren't you nano-blogging?  Probably, because you aren't cool enough. If you were really cool, you would already be making one-word blog posts using a platform such as Adocu.

But wait... if smaller=cooler, and nano-blogging > microblogging, than pico-blogging>nano-blogging!!

So where are the pico-bloggers? Where are the brave pioneers, posting charming, one character messages for the world to ponder?  O! Economical communication! You have come this far, why not a little further?

Here are some other types of blogs I would like to see in the future:

Quantum Blog

Anti-Blog

Shadow Blog (Sblog?)

Roblog (Why make robotic vacuum cleaners when you could be making robotic bloggers?)

 

Scary things on the beach

Tragic

Besides the 4 explosions of feathers that once were seagulls, there were a few other disturbing things at Cape Henlopen this weekend.

I guess Poseidon doesn't like to play with Barbies.

Migrating Pirahna?!?

Comic

Scene: The pier at Cape Henolopen

N: (looking down) Hmm.. There's an awful lot of porcelain here...or, uh, broken dinner plates. 

J: (looking around) Broken dinner plates?? What broken dinner plates? Are you talking about the broken seashells??

N: Seashells?

J: Dinner plates?? 

These pilings next to the pier would make for a great fight scene...

Another Childhood Fear Revisited: Afterlifes

From other entries in this blog, you may think that I was only afraid of unlikely things as a child: black holes, sinkholes, tar pits, carnivorous dinosaurs, everyone in the world having telepathy except for me.... 

But this is not true, I was also afraid of something quite likely, inevitable, even.

DEATH!!!

Specifically, as a child,  I was afraid of a variety afterlifes, such as:

Heaven

Why: 

-Because I didn't know anyone there except for my Great-Grandmom and I didn't know what I would say to her except to thank her for the unicorn she gave me before she died. How would I ever keep up a conversation until someone else I knew died??

-Because I wouldn't be able to take anything with me (Would there be Legos in Heaven?? No one told me!)

-Because it would last for an ETERNITY (When I figured out what eternity actually meant, this sent a serious chill through my spine).

Reincarnation

Why:

-Because what if when I got reincarnated, I kept all the memories of my previous life and felt sad when I couldn't reconnect with people I used to know

-Because I didn't want to forget everything! That would be like it never happened!

-Because I might have ended up as a slug or an ant or some other dissapointing creature

Purgatory/Ghosts/Lost Spirits

Why:

-Because what if my family couldn't see me, even though I was there, trying to talk to them? 

-What if a lot of the other beings in my dimension were devious and evil, like I'd heard?

Regaining Concsciousness after Death/Premature Burial

Why:

-Decomposing can't feel good

-Maybe reading Edgar Allen Poe short stories as a kid wasn't that great of an idea....

-I'm claustrophobic

Well, there you have it. Now you are probably all wondering what sort of bizarre religious upbringing I must have had, or what, if any fears I still retain. 

Let's just say that I would totally prefer cremation...

...just in case.....
