Readership faultering

I get all psyched to see 3+ comments when I check this site, only to find out again that Fugimax is having a conversation in my comments section. I understand completely that when you read about someone else's interests and daily life, it is very easy to be at a loss for things to say. I also acknowledge that what you read here may not even be sufficiently thought-provocative to bring forth comments. But seriously, get over that and write something. It's anonymous to most people but me anyway. Comments make this worth doing, that's all.

I think I'll try an experiment and actually talk about my day, selfishly.

Last night was a good Bob party. Along with the plentiful cache of alcohol, there was a wonderful, smallish group of people that I really enjoy hanging out with. They are the people I would know a whole lot better if my life in PA wasn't "interrupted" by "moving" to "Ohio."

It's always a little uncomfortable when I re-meet the people I went through primary school with. It goes something like this: They look at me, I look back as their brains visibly search for a name, and then they cock their head to the side, chancing at my name. Then a handshake and some quick life-review. By far the most explosive re-meeting was when I saw my old neighbor who didn't even recognise me at first, but once he had, I was barraged with "holy shit!"s and "where have you been!"s. It was really cool.

People aren't really different after 7 years, besides the slight change of shape, amount of facial hair, and the fact that the ones I hated 7 years ago are now some of the coolest people I've met. There's a couple lessons to be extracted from those statements, but I don't want to say them.

That's enough for now. I think I'll go so far as to say goodbye to whomever is reading this, to keep with the theme of selfishness of this entry.

Is KFZ some kind of fucked-up pennsylvanian slang for KFC? I bet it is.

About the whole comments thing...ya...they do make "blogging" worth it. But, if that's the only reason you do it...eh. I dunno. I do it because I like to share stuff. If you read it, great -- if you comment, fucking w00t -- if you don't do either...oh well.

As a word of advice to dan "the man with the plan" greuter -- don't feel that you only have to write about semi-intelligent shit. May I direct your attention to this.

I mean..I doubt people actually read your site like a news site and when they see something "stupid" posted get all pissed off. Frankly, I'd prefer more updates, even if they weren't so....so....insightful. ;)
