As I read about the plight of young Miles Levin, the dying blogger, I was heartened to know that someday, when I come down with cancer, my blog too will be read. Oh don’t worry, Anonymous, I know you’re still out there somewhere. I haven’t heard from you lately though.
And I’m sure nobody bought Da Vinci’s paintings until he was dead, so I guess my prose will probably suffer the same fate. I’ll be famous when I’m dead. Not that I really want to be famous, mind you, it would just be nice if I could get more than 1 response to my 2 surveys. To quote myself from an earlier post:
“How can I continue skipping through life when I ask for so little and get less!”
I’m sure that quote will be famous long after I move on to my next life. That one quote will be up there with the great quotes of all times. And yes you, Anonymous, were right here when I came up with it.
Anyway, I guess I should probably go to the doctor just to be sure I don’t already have cancer. Think about it. Miles Levin got a good 2 years of blogging notoriety after he was diagnosed. We bloggers will miss him. I certainly hope no bloggers try to pretend they’re dying now just to get their blogs read. That would be way over the top.
Ok, I think I’ll make an appointment with a doctor in my area. I hope my medical insurance will cover whatever I may have. Hmmmm…..I should probably research some illnesses first to be sure I answer the questions properly. I’d hate to be diagnosed with an illness that my insurance plan doesn’t cover and then be out on the streets, trying to connect to my blog with my AT&T, formerly Cingular, Wireless card as I blog from behind dumpsters, etc.
If anyone knows Anderson Cooper, please contact me and let me know how to get ahold of him. I need to get everything in order in case I’m really sick and need to quit doing work of any kind and have to blog night and day from my death bed.
Anyway, I’ve been a little under the weather lately so (cough, hack, snort, drop of blood from nose), I should probably turn in and get some rest. I have a big day tomorrow.
