why not blog about instagram?

Sooooo,

since blogging is so passé, 

I wanna get into it again!!!

(What's not cool is almost always cool in my book.)

But, 

there is just one thing stopping me,

and that is 

#Instacrack.

Try as I have over the last year or so,

Instagram 

has 

stolen

this blog's thunder #bigtime.

But in the last month I have had 

3 touching moments

when complete strangers

have been beyond kind about the blog 

and

how much it has affected them.

So, 

here we go again,

yet another try to resurrect it...

This time maybe it will stick,

so naturally I will start with blogging about the 

#blogkiller 

itself:

Here are my top 20

but they always get the likes they deserve.
