Blogification.
There is exactly one of you who read this regularly who, I'm sure, knows my full identity. The rest of you are about three clicks away from finding out.
I just wanted to let you know that you are a privileged few who see my ramblings. I have told no one I've met about this page. No I'm not trying to pump up my ego and tell you that I'm a special person, but you few are privy to stuff that even my wife, who I've known for over a decade, has yet to see. And that makes you special. (Forgive this for sounding like a Mr. Rogers episode.)
I often think about what motivates a lazy bastard, who never kept a journal in his life, to keep coming back to this blog. It's the connection. This blog thing connects us in some strange cosmic fashion. It amazes me that we are all separated by great distances, social situations, age groups, and overall lifestyles but seem to connect in some way. What really blows my mind is that many of you, who's blogs I visit regularly, are people that I would usually never get to know or would never have the opportunity to meet. One of the things that I find personally appealing to all the blogs I've read is that it reaffirms my belief that 99% of the people on this planet are good people.
What's the point to this post you ask? Well earlier this year I made a resolution of sorts that I would make an individual post about all the people who I link to on the right and explain why I find them intriguing. Here I am in March and I've only managed to get to a couple of you. It's not that some are more important than others, it's just that I'm a lazy bastard and this blog is kind of a free flow of diarrhea from my cranium. So today I've decided to hit on each link to the right and give a little blurb in case I never get to doing an individual post for each which I might still do but no promises because I'm obviously bad with that.
Here we go.
Shoottheduck: Great blog
I already hit on le duck here.
VagaBob: My semi-daily shot of Zen
And Bob here.
Ms. Me: Caregiver of family and strangers alike
Jane. You fascinate me with your kindness and giving nature. You always surprise me with your outlook on things. You recent lottery post says it all.
Procrastination Station: Fun
Ben's site is always a fun read. You can tell he has a sharp wit and the fact that his site is mostly contributory makes it always interesting.
Dating: It's a Numbers Game
Congrats to you for your recent engagement. Your ability to lay it all on the line and truly free flow ideas in a no holds barred fashion is amazing. you're truly eloquent when it comes to describing your feelings, fears, and dreams. (note to self change to 1 in a million)
Nice Guys Finish Last: I have faith brother
Dude, I find it fascinating to (sort of) relive my early days as a bachelor through you. It reminds me how lucky I am to have a loving wife and how long it took me to perfect my dating skills.
ZeroDoll's life: FISH's doll
FISHFOOD: Zero's hero
You can't mention one without the other here. They're like peas and carrots. The most interesting thing I find about you two is your love for each other and the fact that you're blogs intertwine. It's fun to read about the same situation from two similar, yet different, perspectives.
PJ: This girl can write.
What can I say PJ? Yours is one of the few blogs I've read from beginning to end. You've got skills with the written word. I would definitely stalk you in a different life. Even though it would never work because I like cats and PT Cruisers.
Grandpa's Snazzy Legs. He's back.
Rev. Buckweet. You're the living epitome of the duality people face every day. I can identify with the conflict you face with your family and understand and identify with many of your viewpoints. I've taken many of the things you've put down to heart and included a semi- quote from you're website into my daily routine.
Cloudy Lucidity
To be honest, I don't know that much about you. I do know this...I stumbled onto your blog and something trapped me there and even so much as caused me to link you here.
In A Big Way
My most recent addition is Katherine. Girl! You're a RIOT. Your blog is just plain fun to visit.
There you have it. Quick and dirty. Thank you all for stopping by.

I don't think I'm supposed to respond to someone praising me, right? I mean, somewhere someone wrote that was wrong. But I am the gal who wrote about the time I spent an hour and a bottle of olive oil dislodging a strip of fabric and wax from my down-there. In other words right and wrong went out the window a long time ago.
Yeah, I have a point.
Thank you, Glenn. For your kind words. For continuing to read me even when I sometimes hit a lull. And for making me laugh at the image of being kidnapped by an entertaining stalker and riding shotgun in a PT Cruiser with a pile of cats in the way-back.
You're sweet, Glenn.
Thank you!
