That’s the beauty of being able to schedule blog posts.
I could give in and finally let this man-flu have its dirty dirty way with me.
I could stagger off this mortal coil once more, but actually mean it this time.
Because there’s a blog post each day being shared with facebook and such, it could be weeks before they find my body…
That did get a funny thought bouncing around in my mind just now.
Not funny “ha-ha”, more like funny “well-whaddya-know?”
With the accessibility of social media and blog hosting sites, writing a suicide note nowadays takes on a whole new level.
For starters, you have a much wider audience, if you so desire it.
You could have hundreds, if not thousands of people reading your reasons for wanting to leave.
You also can leave video messages, should you not have the greatest penmanship.
But this increase in audience also comes with an increase in responsibility… to carry it through.
The days of changing your mind at the last minute, and simply crumpling up the note and throwing it in the bin are over.
If you schedule it just right, the post will be out there for all to read at the moment you decide to end it.
Change your mind at the last minute, and you’ll disappoint all your followers, and those who are there just for the occasion.
Then, of course, it raises the question if you should be exiting this life in a much more spectacular fashion?
With an increased audience, do you have an obligation to entertain more?
This post was only going to be half a dozen lines whining about how shitty I feel, so I’m going to stop thinking about this and go back to my self pitying man-flu complaints.
At least you know today isn’t my day to leave.
I’d be wearing something much more exciting for the occasion.
Shoes – Doc Martens
Jeans – Henry Como
Shirt – Colour Times
