A week ago, I wrote a flashback column on a friend of a friend in this very blog that to me, was no big deal.
But after speaking with my friend on last night about the column that I wrote on last Monday, it seems as though as his friend is on a cloud that isn’t on the one of the nine clouds that you normally hear about.
“You’ve created a mess,” my friend said to me about the column on Dr. Joye, “She’s got the big head now.”
Okay, I admit, writing a column about a female friend is very different from writing about college sports.
When you write about college sports, it’s a very different because people have various opinions and you don’t have to worry about people having the big head.
But write a column on a female friend, they become enamored and ecstatic about being a focus of a column that is read by hundreds each day.
I told my friend, “This isn’t the Commercial Appeal, man. She ought to understand that this is only a daily weblog, not a newspaper.”
“Well, she already understands that,” he told me in our conversation on last night.
“Good,” I said to my friend, “There’s a big difference between writing for a newspaper and writing for yourself.”
I remembered one column I had to write on the hottest of the hot a week before Valentine’s and Dr. Joye explained to me that she wanted the column to have a focus on her.
A week after she made a theory on being sprung on that girl I met in the campus bookstore.
Of course at the time, the blog I had was not as well read as this one, I don’t think.
Thanks a lot, Blogger.
