Blogophobia

Strange as it may seem, I have many misgivings about this Blog stuff. Looking over all the blogs on the 'net, thousands of them, I see that they range from the most professional, commercialized, purpose-drives efforts to salacious, amateurish drivel....And everything in between. I have no intention of publishing a nekkid picture of my wife, or pix of my family vacation or granny on the tractor. I do hope, however, to make a few comments and observations that might be thought provoking or entertaining. I hope to be interesting. I am afraid of being less than discrete. After all, if you are going to blast friends, family, employer etc. you need to stay somewhat anonymous. Politics is another matter and one of these days I will get my body-politic soap box out. There is so much political blather out there that no one gives a hairy rats ass anyway. But, after 4 weeks there are exactly zero comments. Either the software she is a broken, or no one has read the stuff. At least one comment in deep sympathy for my bad grammer would be OK.

Well, when people you know read what you write, the best way to get them to say something is to use cool words like "dumshit" and "hairy rats ass" (sic). ;-)

You're quite entertaining. I shall add you to my bloglines. Give it time, John. People have to find your blog before they can become fans. I'm not sure who reads my blog other than a couple of people from St.A and maybe some people form poetry sites where I've posted in the past. But I like to know that my writing is out there, and that maybe, just maybe, someone will read it, and it will make some sort of difference, either through a smile, a chuckle, or a tear, or maybe even a deep thought. ;-)
