I blog because I've become addicted. The first time I tried it I could take it or leave it. The second attempt lent a little adrenaline high as I watched the comments stack up. And by the third post I was eternally hooked.

The rush was good. I wanted more. And now....it's a sweet sweet drug and try as I might I can't keep my fingers from the keys.

Yes, I admit it, I'm a Bloghog.

People blog for many different reasons. Some of us because we love it, some because they believe they should and others because they are point "Ho's".

But not all of us enter into the blogging world willingly. Some are victims, taken from their warm cozy beds, stolen away from happy homes and loving families and forced to blog 24/7 hoping to win their freedom. 

These innocent souls have fallen prey to unscrupulous forces that run Blogger Sweatshops across America. These "sweatshops" are popping up in warehouses and basements across America. This abomination must be stopped!

Their plight has been captured on tape. The following video pulls back the shade and gives us an inside peek at what really happens behind the "Iron Blogging Curtain".

Cecily, it figures they lure them to New Jersey and then smuggle them into the city!  This was great thanks for the laughs!

Cecily, Cecily, Cecily, what are we going to do with you. If a van pulls up next to you during your next showing do not worry it's just a few friends and a Blog intervention. Try not to kick and scream to much.

Cecily - That is just too funny! But you've added much stress to my already stressful life. Now I have to watch out for those deviants from the blog sweatshops! Uh, oh....Someone's knocking on my door.....Oh no....It's them!.....If I don't get back to you in a few days, please call the police! Or just look for my next blog!

Michelle: Thanks, Girl! I found the video on UTube. Haven't seen you around for a while. Glad you're back!!!

Sean: That's so funny!!! My Father used to say my name three times just like that....for years I thought my name was Cecily, Cecily, Cecily.....and then he would just shake his head and sigh....and I think they have coined a new name for our affliction....they are calling it a "Bloggervention".

Cecily.. The first time was Ok, the Second time was more of a rush, The third time I was Hooked..Are you sure you aren't talking about Sex. Blog-A-holic's..Oh the power of the written word is strong with this one and so began the sorted tale of Pepper Fairbanks. Mild mannered Realtor by day..demonic sweat shop owner and deviant by night.

Yes, blogging is addictive and I'm an addict! I tried the twelve step program for anti-bloggers, but I failed. I was booed, heckled and humiliated, they had no mercy, but it didn't work!!! No one understands that I MUST blog. Actually i don't blog as much as many people do, but I am hooked. Like many I go around making notes on my digital recorder about things I can blog about. WOW! just thought of a new idea, so I gotta go and blog some more—LOL!. This is a terrific post... thanks and Happy New Year.

Cecily, your comments to the comments are as funny as your blog! But I'm wondering if you should have maybe tagged; Ho's, addicted, sex, blog-a-holic, hooked, bloghog and intervention. Cecily, Cecily, Cecily you make me laugh. What a great personality you have!

Cecily:  Sooner or later blogging for points was bound to stoop to this low level.  I'm just surprised that they did not expose the child labor blogging sweat shops yet.  (Hah!)

Another great post from you there Cecily.
