Consumers

Once day I thought writing a blog about consumption. Not that the idea was original.

No.

There in the United States, at least I've heard about it, there are magazines that specialize in testing products for popular consumption and then put expert opinion or simple consumer praising, criticizing, or simply giving opinions about what they consumed.

My idea was to post my impressions on the site about what I would consume, but, as always, the idea went no further.

I created the blog on UOL, posted two small, minimal text and lost a darn time fiddling with templates and other trifles, and he remained in the air from April to September 2008. He remained with only two posts and received only five external visits.

A failure.

One more failure.

But, to not say that there's nothing left of it, I post here, as a kind of obituary, the two small text files that existed for this brief period. They are:

 

Consumers, a blog for consumers

You like to consume?

This is your blog.

And:

Consuming since the uterus

We are born consumers and can not deny this fact. There are many people twisting the nose for consumerism, but still consuming things that are to be consumed in this world. There is simply no way for non-consumption. Even a hermit uses the gifts of nature.

We consume from the womb. We do not stop consuming even after death.

What are the things we consume?

What criteria do we use to consume what we consume?

Perhaps these questions are quite personal, but the exchange of experience is nonetheless an interesting thing.

So, go ahead.

But we ended up not going ahead.

Farewell then, Consumers, the blog that was to be for all consumers, but that turned out to be nothing at all.
