Are You a Blog Addict?

I read about this term one time, BLOG ADDICT.
Yeah, feels like term coined by those who do nothing but blog all day. No harm done if blogging is something that makes one productive.
What I mean by being productive means there is some kind of a monetary compensation that can be had with blogging.
OR by being productive means one can learn a lot of things either by blogging (writing skills and thought processes, yeah right) or by reading others’ blogs (current events or simply taking a peek gossiping reading about the day-to-day happenings in other bloggers’ lives).
No, not that only monetary benefits can make one a happy blogger.
The blogger is happy, I know but of course, one has to consider the expenses when blogging.
Blogging = expenses and by expenses mean electricity bill, ISP bill, as well as time and effort. Yes, these time and effort can also be convertible to monetary equivalence too.
I know because in my line of work, we get paid by number of hours we worked.
I have written two posts about the Hazards of Blogging here when a man who blogs wrote that he was going to a US territory and maybe he forgot that he has a case in the mainland US. What happened next? Click here.
So how should one know that blog addiction is now running in one’s veins? That everything else seem to take a back seat because blogging takes precedence over all things? One more sign is that the “normal” daily routine of work, including house chores, professional work and other responsibilities are sometimes neglected not given much thought about yes, takes a back seat in lieu of blogging. Why does this sound like a funeral instruction.
Click here for anther entry I have written where you can read and check or maybe add some more symptoms about being a blog addict.
Now don’t go asking me why I came up with the things I have listed. I won’t tell you my sources, and if you are good, your guess is as good as mine.
Now here are other other sites where one can read about being BAD. Yes, BAD.
Blog Addiction Disorder. Some more 10 signs about blog addiction ( I don’t have some of those listed here).
Have fun. Blogging, that is 😀

I have to admit I became addicted when PPP was very strong and when I was doing my challenge. I have to limit my blog time now, my writs are hurting hahaaaha! Seriously, just joining the photo carnivals eat time and I admire people who have the stamina and tirelessly blog and visit blogs.
I’m behind again on the weekly question, been very busy here lately. We are expecting 2 groups of family guests.
greenbucks on 04 Jul 2008 at 10:06 pm 2Yeah, the weekly photomeme.
I have “regular” friends who visit me and I visit them back too. Or I visit them first and they to me.
There are those, who I know like you PMN guys na I visit din. Kakapagod nga.
Sometimes I just don’t visit a lot, I just follow those who visited me. That goes for my Weekend Snapshots since the photo is posted on a Monday.
