No? I don’t blame you. Its boring around here these days.
Guess that goes for many others in the blogosphere too as of late. Seems people are disappearing left and right around this place — abandoning their blogs, turning in their keyboards and turning off the bloglamp at their site. Going through my blogroll takes all of 5 minutes these days and I must say its depressing. While I’m not close friends with everyone here I do consider everyone on my blogroll a friend in some capacity and when they give up the ghost and close the proverbial window to their world I feel banished and blackballed. (Guess that’s better than blue balled but since I don’t have a set of my very own those of you that do will have to be the judge.)
I guess the season changes for some people and they pass through the blogosphere for a while, get their cathartic juices juiced and move on leaving those of us still around left to venture out once again and make new friends. I suppose its a good thing I’ve always been social, huh? To be honest, its not all about that for me either though really. Sure, I enjoy all of you and I have made some great friendships with people here, but at the end of the day, I’m here for me. If I’m fortunate enough to make friends along the journey, fantastic. If not, I’ll still wake in the morning, albeit with fewer people to read, but I’m awake nonetheless.
I’ll be cleaning up my blogroll in the next few days – deleting links I’ve shared almost since day one of birthing this site, adding others that I’ve come across recently that have sparked my interest, and moving others around that I hope will someday return…… I guess cleaning out the blogroll resembles, in a way, cleaning out the closet – and for me, that’s always been a difficult task. The most well worn clothes and most treasured shoes journeyed through both good and bad times – just as have many of my friends on my blogroll………..
For those of you wondering, I am feeling much better. After a shot in the ass and a round of antibiotics I feel almost back to normal (whatever that is)! Thanks for checking in on me so often and sending comments and emails! You guys are the best!
AND since I missed it last week because I was sick I’m holding National De-lurking Week here this week! If you’re lurking around here and reading the ramblings I utter forth, please take a moment to say hello and delurk. I often see “regulars” in my statcounter that pass through and it would be nice to recognize you and give a nod back your way! Of course, you only need to say hello, but anything more you’d like to add would be great too — like, your age, marital status, income, location….no really…..maybe how you came across this place and why you keep coming back!
Alright, that’s it people. I’m going to bed! It’s late…er….early….and I’m breaking a resolution by even being here this time of night! Goodnight!
