This doesn't actually match my mood, which is good btw, I just love the picture. Whap!
I have no idea. It'll be a surprise, let you know when I figure it out.I just spent a pleasant 45 min or so wandering about and reading people's posts and now and again posting a pithy or more likely inane comment here and there. While doing so I read what other people posted and it dawned on me that some people were not actually reading what people had written. They were just leaving tags in the hopes that someone would come and read what they had written. How rude. I wonder if these are the same people that never listen to what you say or if they do shut up long enough for you to say something they come out with something like, "yeah, yeah, yeah, but yap, yap, yap." and off they go clearly having no interest in a conversation.
Yes, it is so great when someone reads what you write and even comments on it. It's totally cool because you connected with someone and it feels good. But that's only half the fun. The other half is when you go out and read about other peoples' lives, hopes, dreams, actions, disappointments and dysfunctions. It's a legal eaves dropping type of thing. It's truly interesting. And when you comment on something they wrote showing you did spend a minute 'listening' to them you actually make a difference in someone's life. You do. Seriously. You bring a smile or a nod or in some cases, a frown or a total howl of frustration which isn't all bad I guess.
Speaking of which, what is up with the DJRolla thing? I got an interesting warning about him, assuming it stems from his comments on my tag board and then I followed the train about and even Sevina or Severus (I never did figure out what to call him/her/them) who is a very nice blogger, a bit twisted, but nice, was cranky at the DJRolla person. Anybody want to fill me in?
I just realized this is a redundant post. The people who should be reading it won't because well, that is what the post is about, they don't. And the ones who do read it will be telling me I am just preaching to the choir over here. Ah well...
Hello Robin, This is an awesome post and oh-so-true! Your comment in my journal DID bring a a smile to my face and did change my morning to some extent. Minutes ago, while checking my g-mail, I found a reply from my son's teacher which started,"dear mark". Okay, my g-mail address is mark.9.24 but I signed it as scott sugden which is, hopefully, my name on any records that she might have access to. Also, my siggie at the bottom of every e-mail that leaves that account is: Mark 9:24 "...I do believe but help me not to doubt.".
