A comment on comments

Okay, let's tell it like it is. We blog, not for the enrichment of mankind or for personal purification or anything of the sort. We blog to get comments from other bloggers. It's an A.S.S. thing. Okay, maybe Cathy doesn't have A.S.S. and she is doing it for the right reason, but I'm positive everyone else is doing if for the comments. So here is my problem. Some of you new bloggers have put a restriction on who can comment with the google account user thing. I would have commented on alot of things like...nice cakes, sorry about the eye doctor, Josie is cute, Tana is cool, vacation in California looked fun, wished it rained here as much in Flagstaff, etc., but I refuse to type in my user account name each time. There, I've written it. Also, a couple of other things. Channy start posting. Just make stuff up. No one cares, we just want to comment anyway. Jantzen, new post please. Way too long without a post. Heidi, you are really funny. I never really knew that. I thought you were funny, but now I know that. Why are Candy's blogs
"deeper than mine". Sorry, but Chea is better than all of the other photogs listed on everyone elses blogs. Sorry, I know it cruel, but it's true. Look I'm not trying to be elected president here, I'm just trying to get comments. Two blogs I look for everday....Wendy's and Lacy's. I don't know why I just do. Lindsay, I've cut you some slack on blogging regularity, but more post's please. And Megs, our newest blogger, don't be afraid to tell us all your feelings and thoughts about the upcoming nuptials. I went back to Devry's wedding blogs, they were great.
So this is how I start....I type in www.dev and Explorer comes up with Devry's blog address, then I read her's. Then I start the link thing. Sometimes I get to all of them, sometimes I don't. The links are somewhat convoluted in that I have to go to another blog to get to the others. Now I must confess I don't go to blogs of people on your links I don't know or care to know. Is this starting to sound like Andy Rooney? He's got A.S.S. Anyway, after reading them all, or all I can stand at one time, I end up at LD's. Why? Because his is always the newest. Pretty much something new each day. Also, I like the witty bantering back and forth between LD and CS. If two MAC laptops could talk about what was erased before being posted. That's it. Amen....fade to a picture a clock ticking the minutes of 60 minutes.

The problem with writing a blog entry of this caliber is that you've raised our expectations of you. I'll be checking on daily basis, probably more to see what else you've been keeping from us.

What! Wait! Hold on a second…no comment or mention of the biggest A.S.S. of them all!

One other category you failed to mention: Those that read, yet do not blog nor do they comment.

P.S. Here, here, and amen to Wendy's comment!

Jeff, of course the best part of a blog are the comments. But when no one comments, you can still set your A.S.S. to rest by getting a stat counter. It's like reverse blogstalking. People come and don't leave comments, you can at least have the knowledge of who was there and how many times they checked your blog and for how long. And where they came from. Really, it's my favorite blog tool.

Or, I could get a haircut from Lexie and post a new photo on my blog of my new "doo".

This is good I didn't know that you couldn't comment, I just thought you were being typical Arnett and just reading then leaving. But then again, maybe you are
