You know how it goes. About karma and blogging? Especially about how bad karma manages to come around and bite back 20 folds when you least expect it? Or maybe it’s one of those slow, bad karma kind of thing where it just drags you down slowly while you beg, scratch and scream to your readers for mercy and help followed by countless more whines? But this doesn’t happen to you but to somebody else. You’re the spectactor watching all this from the sideline. Something like witnessing a cop who just pulled over a speedy and reckless driver. The same car earlier whose driver cut you off and sped off like a maniac while he flicked his middle finger at you while laughing in your face thinking he’s so clever and brave? Why do we have those morons who act like that? You can’t do any thing other than to shake your head whenever that happens.
And then you have the passive-aggressive drivers like little old ladies who go about purposely driving slower than the speed limit just to irritate a driver or two behind her just for spite (which can be just as dangerous as speedy drivers) while in the passing lane impedding the progress of traffic flow. It is also against the law since such actions do endanger other drivers who want to drive at a regular posted speed limit.
But you sit there knowing that logic and common sense will prevail along with a cool head. The reward comes when you see that same driver who just got pulled over by a cop. You slowly drive by and make eye contact with that driver. You crack a wide grin seeing the absurdity of it all seeing that bad karma made its mark.
Right now, I think we are witnessing a bit of bad karma occurring within the Deaf blogosphere because all of a sudden some bloggers are starting to point fingers and accuse others for causing this so-called “division” of their dear Deaf community (rather than simply the deaf community which begs another question by the way). But this is all without merit because it just simply borders on absurdity is what I see. But why do it? Why the “J’accuse!” witch hunt? Just so some people can feel good about themselves? I'd say it's a bit ridiculous to accuse people when the accuser(s) need to look into his/her own mirror for a change. Why not just chalk it up believing it’s a simple case of ignorance instead and move on? We need to remember Occam's razor here.
If a Harry Potter jellybean you tasted was atrociously distasteful, you don’t blame the jellybean but yourself for tasting it in the first place. I said my “mea culpa” a long while back during 2006 and so I’m not about blame a single jellybean or two for its odd flavor and accuse it for causing the division or ruination of our precious jellybean culture! But the funny thing is that one time buttered popcorn held the coveted titled as the most popular jellybean for many years! Go figure.
And so it comes down to this. What is exactly will the predicted “life expectancy” be for many of these deaf and hh blog/vlog sites, I wonder? How long will these people be willing to blog? We all know that blogging/vlogging will not go on forever. Deaf, deaf, and hh bloggers come and go in life. Some just need to take a break and get away from it all but come back later to blog some more. While others will simply exit the highway ramp because they have other preferred destinations to go to. Or if people are really stupid then perhaps bad karma will simply get the best of them slapping them with humiliation while the rest of us just grins at the irony of what has just happened.
Though I wonder at this point in my blog post, are there jellybean researchers who have the job of tasting the real thing before comparing with the same flavored jelly bean before giving the stamp of approval? Or in this case a stamp of sickening distaste? I’m sure there’s one sick dude somewhere right now doing his job. Must be karma.
Rocky Mountain Oyster jellybeans anyone? Moooo!
