Chiriquí Chatter vs. Sybil
Jul 10th, 2008 by Don Ray
I was thinking today, that I may have to change the name of this blog from Chiriquí Chatter to Sybil. I just realized that this blog has no specific personality that greats visitors, when they drop in.
Are there psychiatrists for blogs with multiple personality disorders? I am sure this must frazzle many people coming here expecting, or wanting, to read something about Chiriquí, and finding a post about UPS with comments about rats peeing on keyboards.
All of the other blogs, I know of, have a well defined and controlled direction. No therapeutic counseling sessions are needed for them, but with Chiriquí Chatter, it all depends on which personality is in control when a post is conceived.
Some of the personalities that have been identified are:
- The self proclaimed gourmet, who spends all of his time eating, gaining weight and spewing nonsense about the last meal that was eaten.
- The poet, who posts poems that would make most individuals not want to show their face in public.
- The philosopher, who drops questionable wisdom, sometimes hoping that his offspring might absorb it.
- The would be hacker, who remembers how much fun it was writing programs before anyone had heard of Microsoft.
- The Linux proponent, who thinks that penguins look good on a desktop.
- The comic, who thinks that a good laugh will lengthen ones life.
- The punster, who realizes that puns are the lowest form of humor, but tells them anyway.
- …
Yes, it appears that there may be a serious problem here. You have been warned. This blog is suffering from a multiple personality disorder. No telling how many personalities will ultimately show up.
This is the Don Ray and his life blog. Just like mine, so it must be okay!
You can’t possibly say that mine has a “well-defined and controlled direction.” I go from cultural differences to gardening to dogs to raising chickens to diseases to shopping to corruption to snakes to ….. whatever ever the heck I feel like writing about!
I’ll have to admit that I kind of worry about that, too. On the other hand, I get annoyed when people try to tell me that I shouldn’t write about something. It’s MY BLOG!
You are doing fine, Don Ray. Keep chattering away!
All of us like all of you. And we like all of La Gringa, too. That’s why we all get along. It’s what makes life so interesting. You never know who you’re going to meet, even when you’re just going into the kitchen for coffee in the morning.
It does make living feel crowded sometime. Who’s in charge today?
Hi LG or is it Sybil II? Good to have you drop in. Glad to see you are getting out and about again.
Hi Mary. I have no idea who is in charge. I never do. I just hope it is not one that gets depressed. He sort of gets me down.
It’s always good to hear what you have to say Don. Keep doing what you are doing. It works for me. And many others I am sure.
Hi Ron. Good to hear from you.
How about:
Chiriqui Chattering gourmet spewing poetically, philosophically questionable wisdom, as hacking linux penguin punsters laugh, comically on desktop.
Or:
Hey. I’m in Chiriqui. Wanna Chatter?
OK. fogetaboutit.
Best, Charloe
