People Do Not Come With a Pre-Determined Expiration Date She lay dying. The hospital room was quiet. No impromptu harmonies of beeps     alarms        CRYING           someone yelling “S T A T.”  It was quiet in a disappointing way. The shell of a woman and the family gathered round in a false portrayal of intimacy. This is how a life ends.

People Do Not Come With a Pre-Determined Expiration Date

She lay dying.

The hospital room was quiet. No impromptu harmonies of

beeps

    alarms

       CRYING

          someone yelling “S T A T.”

 It was quiet in a disappointing way. The shell of a woman and the family gathered round in a false portrayal of intimacy.

This is how a life ends.

Cold shoulder treatment from my cat. Just another usual night.
This is Moses. He was a very disgruntled camel. But still photogenic.

Hugh MacLeod, Freedom is Blogging in Your Underwear
Hugh has been a very good friend and mentor to me, so I was delighted when he gave me a galley of his new book. It is, as he describes it, “a wee love letter to the blog.” I’ve posted a few of my favorite bits already, but I love this part from the intro:

Having a blog, a voice, having my own media, utterly changed my life. Suddenly my career as a cartoonist wasn’t dependent on other people: the “gatekeepers”—publishers, editors, Hollywood executives, etc., etc. Suddenly I had direct contact with my audience. They had direct contact with me. I could just do my thing, without having to wait for somebody else to deem me “worthy.”
…Blogging gave me everything. Even in the early days, the benefits of blogging were so glaringly obvious to me that I couldn’t understand why more people weren’t doing it. Ten years later, I still can’t.

Me neither.
