I realize I am not internet-popular. Not by far. I don’t partake in the dominant “social media” neighborhoods. I don’t have thousands or millions of “followers.” In some ways, I am lucky I have a “blog” and email. I don’t really need all the “apps” or “smartphones” or any of that tech they keep pitching to make humans dumb, lazy servants of the machines with which some madman (possibly Disney, possibly a certain online shopping service-mega-monopoly-bent-on-conquering-Mars-among-other-planets) is trying to replace us.
But, I also notice what IS getting the most attention among the things I’ve posted here. I am okay with drumming up a little buzz from my Pokémon posts. Rather, one post is getting the most buzz, featuring a list of the first 150 Pokémon which people are out chasing with their Go! “app.” If that brings people curiosity to see what else I’ve posted/written, great. If that opens good contact doors, super. But, when the one post getting plenty of buzz/attention is something I wrote in jest on a whim…and it just so happens to be about excrement…it concerns me, just a little.
It wouldn’t be as bad if that bit of wit drew interest in other posts/writings, but it hasn’t. It’s just that post that seems to draw people. Not a huge flock, mind you, but more than the rest of my “better” efforts.
I am not sure what track this falls into when I consider such philosophies as “You are what you ___.” But, I get this feeling the cosmos is trying to tell me something.
Have I become a pile of crap? Do I stink in some vile way? Do I need to “clean” myself? Have I neglected my writing space? And, now that I think of it, what exactly are people searching for that leads them to that post? Janitorial jobs?
