Blogging Blues

Everyone who reads my blog (thank you to the 5 of you again, for that.) always says two things. They initially start off with, "I love your blog, it's hilarious." To which I always respond with a sincere thank you. Then they follow it up with this, "You should blog more."

I never know what to say to that. don't take it the wrong way, I love the fact that people enjoy reading what I have to say so much that they want to read more of it, but it just gets hard sometimes. I feel like I've run out of things to say.

Maybe I peaked to early. Maybe I will never be able to top the pirate fantasy camp, or the girlfriend/cheeseburger debate. So yeah... does anyone have any ideas?

You May Not Know It, But I'm All The Rage In Europe...

So blogger.com just introduced stats. Basically it logs how many views you get, where the most traffic comes from, and which of your blog entries are the most popular. Its a pretty cool tool to have if you're popular... which coincidentally I am not. For me its just a constant reminder that my blog basically goes unnoticed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining... well maybe I am a little bit. But come on have you read about my epic race against time to save Goldie the Goldfish? (And yes I am aware of the irony of promoting my blog in a place where no one will see it.)

But what has been cool about it, is seeing where in the world people view your blog. I've checked, and I'm getting run in 4 countries. I know people in the US read, but lately there has been an increase of views from the Czech Republic. To me that's pretty cool. That someone on the other side of the world wants to read what I have to say. My goal is to have my blog read in all seven continents. So Austrailia, South America, and Africa I'm looking at you... step your game up.


PS: Shout out to the Czech Republic. If you read on a regular basis. Don't hesitate to leave a comment.
