Why Blog?
Of course, the inspiration for this post goes to this Direct TV commercial which is absolutely hysterical.

I just find it fascinating how often I open your blog to find it is written on the same subject as one of my “posts waiting to be launched”. This seems to happen a lot with you and rarely with other bloggers.
Sometimes I just scrap my version. More often than not you have done a much better job articulating the subject. However, at some point I will publish my post on blogging though, as I took quite a different tact.
It is interesting how a person starts thinking about their surroundings with the point of view…How can I turn this into something to blog about?
As far is the “why blog” I struggle with that from time to time. It has it’s pros and cons.

Oh, I struggle, but it was a commercial after all. I often gripe about how few comments I get or about how many of my views are for ancient posts I didn’t even like when I wrote them. But the whole process keeps me mentally sharp … and when a post really works, I love it.

Awesome! I love all your reasons for “Why Blog?” Although I’m not sure why I started blogging or why I’ve slacked off, I do find it a wonderful place to share thoughts, experiences and rants with the world.
Your video is soooo funny, I hope your grandsons don’t have dog collars LOL
Clicks for you,

No dog collars in my family!

You must have Direct TV. I’ve never seen photos of your grandkids in dog collars! 🙂
Love your “Be Happier” version of the commercial.

I love the expression on the grandfather. I can sort of imagine what it would be like from the time when my son-in-law wanted to name their first boy “Ace.”

I do love those DirecTV ads. They’re very clever. You did a very good job applying it to blogging… and your recent semi-low mood. Better make sure Reed and Maddox aren’t hiding any animal fashion! Fun post – thanks for the smile!

Animal fashions … I like that. I just can’t think of any other examples.

Sounding like a cranky old lady, well my back hurts and I am recovering from the flu. But couldn’t laugh at the video. Sighed instead, felt for the grandfather and am grateful my grands are being raised by a geekier crowd. Life will go on however.

I’m sure it wouldn’t be funny if I were the grandfather. But the commercial has great comic rhythm and the characters really fit the part, especially the daughter. Feel better soon.
