Were You Born To Blog?

Here is a funny strip I made that will help you determine if you were born to blog! Are you the real deal? Are you the ultimate naturally born blogger? You have heard of the famous saying, “Born to be wild!” and now you can see if you are “Born to be a blogger!” …Enjoy! :)

Morning Addiction: Blogging vs Coffee

Soon after the discovery of blogging, your typical morning routine of 20+ years has been totally changed. Where at one time you would snap at your spouse for talking to you prior to having your normal morning cup of coffee, it has now evolved into something different:

Blogging In The Workplace

Millions of bloggers are sticking it to the man!!! We slave every day working our 9 to 5 day jobs and the tables have turned. We may make shitty hourly wages, but it sure is excellent pay for blogging!

Blogging and Camping

Oh how much fun it is to go camping and be in the middle of nature without a gas generator and a satellite link up connection.

Business Blogs vs Doing Your Business

The standard bathroom check list for a blogger is more than making sure there is toilet paper on the dispenser. Conducting blog business while doing your own business is an involved process. Luckily, modern technology has made this process a little easier:

I hope that you enjoyed my little Sunday off topic blog post. There is much more in my mind than just offering blog tips. I hope that you find my off the wall stuff to be entertaining. Enjoy, drop me a comment and feel free to use the graphics for yourself. :)

Pretty funny. I know several people who blog at work and being fired for blogging on the job has crossed their mind. I doubt it would happen though…

2 George { 10.07.07 at 4:09 pm }

Oh, and I still grab a cup of coffee before checking my blog. Guess it shows where my priorities are, or it shows I spend too much time up late working on my blog ;)

3 homemom3 { 10.07.07 at 4:13 pm }

hehe, well the coffee is me and I do blog at the office…my house. Now you forgot some….dream about blogging, dream about how to make money blogging, daydream about it. When something funny happens your first thought is I’ve got to blog about this, same with sad or scary. Your kids ask you what you blogged today. Someone asks for your address and you put down your email addy.

Haha, I really enjoyed these! Its always great to take a day off and blog about something fun.

5 Garry Conn { 10.07.07 at 5:22 pm }

Thanks guys and gal!

I am glad that you enjoyed reading it… it was fun to make. :)

6 Mark { 10.07.07 at 6:35 pm }

LOL, that’s great, Garry. I don’t drink coffee, but the first one fits me quite well. After I walk the dog, I crank up the ol’ computer and check my email to see if anybody has left me any goodies from the blogs. :)

7 Joost { 10.07.07 at 6:49 pm }

LOL, cool cartoons!
My morning routine is coffee, email and then statistics. And the third cartoon is the reason why I’m actually thinking whether or nor I should go backpacking or just stay in a hotel with wireless internet in one town. It’s craziness I tell you! :D

8 Garry Conn { 10.07.07 at 6:56 pm }

Ok… I’ll confess!

#4 was me… still is! Back in the day before I had my house set up on wireless, I invested a full weekend under my house re-doing my entire phone and network wiring. Long story short, I had RJ12 and RJ45 jacks in every room in the house… including the bathrooms. That way, when I did my ah…. “Business” I could also do my other business by connecting my laptop with a 4ft Cat5 cable into my RJ45 jack in the bathroom…. :)

Life on the can is much easier now… laptop goes on the hamper, no cords, or wires and I am off! LOL!!!!

9 Ad Tracker { 10.07.07 at 9:05 pm }

OK, #4 is me too. That’s usually when I go through my feed reader.

What? Like I’m just going to waste that time?

10 Garry Conn { 10.07.07 at 9:09 pm }

Ha! That’s pretty cool… and you know what? I bet there are more people who do #2 as #4 than not. :)

11 Collin { 10.07.07 at 9:39 pm }

HAHAHA well I can’t blog at work I am a plumber and theres no power in thebuilding I am in. So I talk about it all the time and when I go to bed I make sure I leave my email up so when I get up before i sip my coffee I walk by the computer to see if I have any emails. I also check to see how many new visitors I have from the day before so Ican watch my growth. Oh I think about blogging when I am in the washroom, my laptop is broken right now so I guess I am lucky there. Wander if I would get in trouble from the girlfriend if she woke up at 3am and I was blogging (lol one sec dear just let me finsh my post then I will shut it off)I get in crap enough for that one already.

Nice post again Gary

12 Garry Conn { 10.07.07 at 10:15 pm }

Man… I should included a cartoon for that! 3:00 am… wife throwing shoes and the alarm clock at your head! :)

See I have learned a lot in the last few years of being married. You see, my dog house has many luxuries.. I figured, since I spend so much time it in… I might as well wire it up, throw in a small fridge for beer, throw in a DireTV box with a small TV… run some coaxial cable, drop a phone line… yeah! I have the best dog house in Tennessee. So, its not too bad when my wife sends me there! LOL!!!

13 simon { 10.07.07 at 11:15 pm }

Big G, first thing i do every morning before an thing is check my basic stats and comments…

14 Christine Senter { 10.07.07 at 11:17 pm }

Well, I guess I can safely say that I’m not a blogging addict. I still have to have my coffee in the morning before anything else. I don’t have a computer where I work, so that’s not an issue. And the day I have to take my puter to the potty with me is the day I check into a 12 step program. LOL

Great article, Garry. This is too funny

15 Garry Conn { 10.07.07 at 11:23 pm }

12 Step program!! To fix me… I need a 1200 step program! :)

Thanks for the comments Simon and Christine! I am glad that you liked the post. It was a lot of fun making it… I guess really all I need to do from now is draw comic strips of my own life and roll with it! LOL!!! My journey into the 1200 step blog anonymous program!

16 Symbian { 10.08.07 at 5:09 am }

I’m totally ultimate blogger.

17 Stephan Miller { 10.08.07 at 5:52 am }

Great Post. Yes, it’s me.

18 Sharon Hurley Hall { 10.08.07 at 6:29 am }

Very funny. I quite often check blog comments before doing anything else in the morning.

19 David Cooley { 10.08.07 at 6:59 am }

Ok Garry, now I think you are just picking on me, lol. I fit almost all the items about being old, and now this, holy cow, stop it.

I am so bad I bought a Nokia N770 just for situations like #4, and I can read my RSS while doing other things and not have to have a laptop.

20 Matt Jones { 10.08.07 at 7:16 am }

Haha blogging on the toilet, how did you know!

21 Steve { 10.08.07 at 7:39 am }

Coffee, email, earnings and stats in that order. Although now you have me totally stressed with #3. I’ll be off in rural Thailand in November for 3-5 days and I know it’s at least 30 minutes to the nearest internet cafe. How do I get my hands on the Mr. Wizard instructions? And can I use banana’s instead of potato’s?

22 Shelia { 10.08.07 at 10:48 am }

Excellent piece, very funny. Coffee, email and stats, HA! I don’t feel strange about my addiction anymore.

23 Garry Conn { 10.09.07 at 3:30 am }

Yes… I blog while on the toilet… Come on now, does this really seem like that much of a surprise to you? lol!!!

LOL !

26 Tish { 10.10.07 at 9:33 pm }

Hehe. This is great.

I’m definitely a blog addict. I even had “business cards” printed to promote my blog. It has my name, blog name, URL, a tag line, and my cell phone number on it. I got the idea when I met up with some other local bloggers a few months ago. One of them gave me his blog card. hehe.

Anyway, I recently went to another blog function and met some bloggers I was unfamiliar with. It was awesome giving out my cards! What a great way for people to remember to check out your site! I only wish some of the others had cards as well. :)

Who are these lucky people who can blog at work? I wish I had a job which gave me such downtime, unfortunately I have more than enough work for 37hrs a week!
