Will We Become Like An Old Married Couple, WordPress?

40 Comments

In attempting to come up with something new to write here today, I realized there doesn’t seem to be much left of my present life that I haven’t already written about. In short, I’m running out of things to say.

I have this vision in my head of me and you sitting in a restaurant, eating a meal and looking around at the other couples – the young ones holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes, *gag* and the middle aged ones with kids, arguing over whether Bobby should get a new computer for his fourth birthday – and having nothing to say to one another. We’ve already talked about the weather and how bad the traffic was to get here.

Your teeth hitting the spoon every time you sip your soup is getting on my nerves.

Your memories of how sexy I was when we first met are fading even as the colour in your favourite cardigan does every time I wash it – it’s a horrible burnt orange and I’ve been secretly putting a drop of bleach in the water for about six months. I figure if it finally goes yellow you’ll stop wearing it.

Is that how things are going to end up with us, WordPress? Is it?

Come on, my dear. Let’s spice that plate of bits and bytes up, shall we? Before I have to face your dentures in a pot beside the sink in the bathroom every night.

    Funniest open letter to a blog I’ve ever seen. Great stuff. But the world is full of inspiration! I’m sure you’ll find inspiration enough to keep things…. lively. 😉

    Linda, you are a fantastic writer; please never forget that.

    Oh my gosh, I could have written the same thing about twitter after 3 years. That’s in part why I gave blogging a try; to mix my social media up a bit. You’re funny, Linda 🙂

    WordPress will just have to wear something alluring to send your sparks arcing again, dear Linda G.

    Lol great post, and it’s true. After awhile you start to wonder if there’s anything left to say. I know I feel like that a lot these days.. But then again if I start to mix things up in real life then maybe that’ll give me a few new and interesting stories to tell. Here’s hoping!

    I think just like evening in life, we must keep it fresh. There’s always a way to spice things up.

    I have been blogging before, in my own language and after some time, I had 0 things to write about. But it will come to you, sooner or later something will happen and you will have an opinion about it. You and WordPress aren’t in a bad marriage, you two are just having a midlife crises 😛

      Hahaha! Maybe we’ll just buy ourselves a new sports car. I do sometimes wish I had another language to blog in. I could say all the same things and most of the people who have already read it would think it’s new. 😛
      By the way, I love your username. 🙂 Thanks for commenting!

    Good post. And that’s the whole point. 🙂 It might be an old thought to you, but it’s a new thought to someone else. You just turned on the light bulb in my brain….so don’t ever think it gets dull. Each old thought leads to a new one…

    It is sad as we age and consider our options. We hang on to items of clothing for sentimental reasons not practical, we look on at the world passing by, thankful in some ways we are no longer young and having to deal with children, houses and mortgages. BUT there opens so many new possibilities, new people to meet, places to go, and most importantly time in which to do them, though sadly that is not finite. Good post Linda, you’ve given me things to think about and that’s another thing WP does, opens one’s mind to so many new ways of thinking and doing things.

    How’s this? A nice salsa made of chipotle and mango. Here take this margarita and some chips and I’ll meet you on the porch. Out back. Where the wave noise is the best.

    The good thing about WordPress is it’s basically an orgy. So if you need to add another partner to the mix, I’m all yours 😉
