My plan was to toil in relative obscurity here, and for the most part that has really worked out for me. I know some of my friends here read this page. And I think maybe my Mom and Sister do sometimes too. Otherwise things are pretty quiet around here visitor wise.
But then a few weeks ago someone linked to me from their page. It didn't produce a tidal wave of hits, but I have a feeling the steady trickle coming my way is of the highest quality. Too high most likely. And there's the problem. While I couldn't be more pleased with the link, I can't help wondering what caught his attention. He sure isn't picking up any programming tips. I keep reminding myself that his sidebar links aren't really an endorsement, but just a list of recently visited sites. I figured I'd be rotated out of the lineup in a hurry. But every day when I click over to read his previous nights entry I see my link is still there. This makes me feel very good, but also adds a little pressure. "You mean people I don't know are reading this?" I think it's one of the more interesting things about the whole weblog world that I actually care about this. It's somehow more important because I don't know him. Too bad he's not in NYC or I'd offer to get him a table at the restaurant.
I wasn't even going to mention this at all. But then today I noticed another person I've come to respect through reading his page has also added my link. Seriously? Wow. I'll have to start dropping some Shulgin references or something. Again, not a deluge of traffic, but I don't care about that. It's the quality I'm after. So if you're coming here through either of those fine pages, welcome, have a look around, but don't hold it against them.
How long does 15 minutes last on a 400 mhz G3?
wont be long now before us regulars cant get in. whats the digital equivalent to a bouncer and velvet ropes?
I noticed you on that second person's site at least five days ago & linked to you & it worked . All three of you have in common an unobsessive & breathable conversational style, rather good
grammar & a dependably timely knack for tossing up the cosmic & the personal simultaneously.
No one on the web, however, has your humility, tender wit & humungous potential, far as I can see
from my perch...high plains drifter. Cheers & hugs to you & MB this longest night of the year.
If there's a claim to noteriety drat must take it . I mean can you name ten well known blogs of your
genre that I read that don't link to you?
the only people that read my page are scallywags nincompoops and drifters of both the high and low plains varieties. the people pupilling jims matters matter in a material ways that denizens of the df dungeon could scantly comprehend. scantily they can comprehend, but even that only minimally.
Not to mention the unsound inane infatuated sots like me but still I chalk all that up to the fact that
Jim is from a '"good family in Whirlywood Connecticut " while Drat & Frag obviously hail from the
more Sturm und Drang precincts of the Greater New York Metropolitan Area.
not to mention the bounders, rounders and dipthongs.
Mom reads regularly and echos Frank's comments. I do have to meet him sometime. Wishing all of you a very Happy and peaceful Christmas holiday and a much better and happier New Year.
congrats on the boo dada baby!! rock on!!
Wow! For crying out loud, that's the coolest thing that's ever happened to me on the internet or maybe any where for that matter as I was just hearing my friend Many Does say Yeah I mean Where's the Mom man!
We'd love to meet you too & all of ya'll as well Feliz Navidad!
Get back to you shortly.
