Which Came First: Blogging or Life?
Apologies all around for the short period between posts. But, goddamn, i was over at Althouse's blog (see links section) and read her latest entry, Contemplating change. In it, she discusses the possibility of selling her old house and moving to a condo on the square. Now, whether or not she does this is almost completely immaterial to me. However, it's her final statement:
That prompts me to post again.
In my post about our epic game of risk, i discussed Eugene's approach to the game: do what you want, then see if what you've done matches up with any of your objectives. Clearly, this is backwards thinking. I believe Althouse has done a similar reversal with her life. I live my life, and when something intersting happens, i blog about it. However, Althouse does things in order to blog. that's just stupid.
And if you think she's kidding, just wait till she moves into the fucking condo and blogs about it. You'll be sorry.
What an overwhelming task it would be to deal with all these things!
And yet....I could blog about it.

Interesting. Yes, living to blog, that is the answer. What a noble, self-aware existence.
I don't like this meta-blogging we're doing. The pictures documenting my historic quad kings among other fine moments are sweet. Make L-Dog clean your carpet.
Holy fucking shit, you're right. By blogging about blogging, i'm meta-blogging. Which is actually worse than living to blog, because i'm blogging about someone else's blog, which is a result of their living to blog. Dude, i am post-mind-blown Andy.
