It shows great discipline. Plus you have a idea of where you are going. <br><br>Your start sounds like mine. I took an ID to comment on medblogs, which I did for 4 months before I stuck my toe into the water. No idea where I am going. <br><br>Here's to a good year for the next one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-48896086274906025772008-01-25T23:48:00.000-08:002008-01-25T23:48:00.000-08:00>Somebody was shocked once when I told them tha...>Somebody was shocked once when I told them that each and every comment here, is more rewarding than sex.<br>Of course.

Maybe that's partly it.<br>Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you've heard the expression, God gave man two brains but only enough blood to run one at a time?<br>I have that problem a lot.<br><br>But I'll let you into a little secret; The most erotic thing I can think of is an intelligent discussion with a beautiful woman.<br><br>Yes, I had thought about that. It probably might be wise to start looking at the posts that are worth saving.<br><br>Shades- I BEHAVE like a monkey, that has been said before.<br><br>I also DO great people with 'HEY! MONKEY!' a lot.<br><br>Helen- It just sounds old. When I was really little, thirties was where your parents were.<br><br>Mutley- Ambition should be made of sterner stuff...<br>Lack of ambition is something I am often accused of.<br><br>But i think is realistic. Like evolution, it just boils down to time.<br><br>Grendel- Thanks, it's been a drag sometimes, but I've stuck at it :)<br><br>Paul- I guess that's how I want to see it, yes.<br>It can be the world's first direct democratic debating forum.<br><br>I think we do all have a certain responsibility here.<br><br>I think sitemeter provides useful information, but as you say, it is irrelevant. It's nice to know there are silent readers, but the noisy ones are more fun. It is interesting that there are a small clique of 'unknown's who appear often in the referrals, but probably aren't bloggers. How they became readers, I have no idea.<br><br>Of late I've been the world's worst visitor, which is partly down to exhaustion, but I am aiming to start organising my time better.<br><br>Ms S- It is tiresome sometimes, or at least, blogging itself isn't.<br><br>My best mate has mixed feelings about it, he thinks the stress it can potentially create is a negative (certain situations over the last year have completely baffled him) and that I could put the energy into my career instead.<br><br>Ruthie- Well, I guess we are all real people :)<br>It is real, and I suppose sometimes, we forget that. After all, although I associate jmb with a little Yorkshire Terrier and Grendel with a prowling monster, I don't think either of them look like that in RL. And RL? I post in what is certainly a very real room, with a very real keyboard. Very real people read and leave very real comments.<br><br>I think the good thing is that people who probably wouldn't exchange views in RL, do so here.<br>Just look at the diversity just in this comments section.<br><br>Alexys- If you google my real name, it is actually possible to see how I got into it.<br><br>One of my odder interests, is elections. I enjoy predicting them, and usually put on a few bets.<br><br>Opinion polls aren't particularly helpful really, they just give you generlised swing patterns. Actual results are based on real voters in real constituencies. You have to work out what's happening in each.<br><br>Predicting a General election is a mammoth operation, the margin of error is huge. You have to guess (for the UK), 646 constituencies correctly. (Or be wrong in the right way, by guessing as many wrongly one way as you do the other)<br><br>I was actually searching for backround information for the 2007 Scottish elections and came upon blogs by accident.<br><br>Lad Litter- Everyone needs a purpose, I think.<br>I guess I've always been a rebel without a cause.<br>Crushed has become my cause :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-12291444467846455642008-01-27T05:04:00.000-08:002008-01-27T05:04:00.000-08:00Happy Birthday.Happy Birthday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334391160365031546.post-16315969584346721282008-01-27T10:58:00.000-08:002008-01-27T10:58:00.000-08:00Start writing a book, Crushed.It would be fantasti...Start writing a book, Crushed.<br><br>It would be fantastic - and what if you got published ?
