This internet thing is an unforgiving, unfulfilling, and sometimes, down-right lonely place.Years ago when I began blogging, if anyone questioned if people read my site I’d have told them, “I don’t give a rats ass”. The sad thing is that I really did care, but failed to see just how saturated the internet was on the subject matter that interested me. I had ideas on topics that I imagined would be a fresh perspective, and spark interesting conversation amongst my peers, alas there were none to be found. Although a bit discouraged at times, I never quite gave up and kinda just stuck it out.
Over the years I honed the little bit of skill i’m clinging to, and have grown in readership as well as an ever growing circle of peers. These are people whom I admire and respect a great deal, as well as value their varying points of view. In return, and without compensation, these folks have offered me guidance, inspiration, an honest opinion, and in most cases, back me up when I’m having an insane rant. Today being a friday, I’d usually be scrambling to put together my #ff (follow friday) on twitter, but today I felt the need to point these people out, as they are as deserving of you attention as I am.

Thanks to all my friends and followers for the support.

E, the internet is a lot of things. At times, you’re right, it can be unforgiving, fulfilling, and lonely, but every once in awhile people come across a site like yours, and meet people that make it inspiring. You’ll always be the latter in my books. Keep it up.
