You the Blog Community

So I was surprised again last night. Someone mentioned my blog and how much they appreciate what I write here. This is such a weird thing when it happens. I really dig it, but it's surreal. Humbling in a very good way.

For some reason, blog is tilted heavily toward me writing AT you the reader. Which is something of the nature of a blog, but I wish there was more interaction between us.

Everyday somewhere between 600-800 of you visit this site. That number can't be write, because only a couple of you comment per day. Granted, it's never the same people.

I added the click comments thing a few months ago.
I confess it's a bit dorky, but it was my attempt to connect with the crowd of you on some level.
I'll be cool if nothing changes. Maybe this is just the way it is. I'm just wondering.

Bill Mallonee is a musician you don't sing with. His music just isn't sing-a-long music. It's not hooky or catchy like that.
But when his song plays your mind is racing. He paints pictures, he says a few words, and then your mind is off thinking about what he's saying and your own context.

Maybe that's what this blog is. A blog you can think with, but don't comment on.

hmmm.

I must say that there are times I have nothing to add to what you have written. Maybe I'll just comment with a "thanks" :)

I've got you in my bloglines and enjoy reading, but don't often comment. Keep the good stuff coming though!

I just realized on facebook the other day that you're an OBU alum too. Just don't ask me to "go with Ka-rip". =)
