Thank you, I'm Sorry, and Could you please?
Sometime yesterday I broke the one thousand visit barrier on this blog since I installed a counter of some repute which I recommend if you care about such things.
I take this blogging seriously, in case you didn't know.
This is the sole outlet for my writing.
This is step one in a long term plan to a dream that I count on to sustain my family.
The fact that I am getting more visitors in a week than I received in a month two months ago speaks to something aside from the fact that I am posting more.
For that I thank you all.
With the aforementioned attention comes an unspoken expectation. I came once, now I am here again, so entertain/inform/enlighten/tittilate me. I feel that, and I have responded to it as best as I am able to, considering the 65-80 hours a week I work and joys of monogamy.
I would like nothing more than to devote 3-4 hours a day just to reading and writing and infusing this site with more substance, giving you additional insight into what I really feel and what I really think.
That day is not here as of yet. When it arrives, it will be with great fanfare. Until then, I will persevere.
In the meantime, I am sorry.
Thanks to my faithful counter and daily report, I get small tidbits of information about the visitors to this site. Some of the visitors I recognize, some of them I do not. I am not naive. I know some of those visitors get here by accident or may not really even be visiting here at all. But some tidbits show up day after day, but I never hear from them. I would really like to. I am profoundly curious about the public perception of the direction of this site. As I said a few months ago, I t alk to myself all the time, I am here for YOU.

Use it, when you don't want to leave a public comment.
Use it to say that I make no sense.
Use it so ask why don't I talk more about ___________
Use it to ask why I always talk about ___________
Use it to say thank you.
Use it to say F______ you.
Use it to ask me a personal question.
Use it to say "I am the person from Dover, DE who visits your blog every day and I think what you write is _________."
Use it to say "I am that person from the University of MD who visits your blog each morning and I am glad you aren't tech savvy enough to stalk me and harrass me anymore than you just did."
I assure you all my only purpose here is to encourage dialogue with those who visit this site.
It will make this site better and it will make ME a better writer...
So, I ask, could you please?

Well shoot...even though I don't always comment...when I get through a 2 hour commute everyday with a 8 hour work day and 2 kids...not to mention a active social life ;)...I somehow make my way over here quite often...sometimes leaving it open for a long time ;) I too look at my sitemeter LOL
I really enjoy your writing David...and your comments just as much...You are consistent and honest...insightful and funny as heck!
I keep coming back because of those things...so if you do change anything...Please keep those! From one writer to another...I'm here for all 32 chapters...
F________ you.
The Stiltwalker took my answer.
So, I'll just say thank you. I come around daily because I enjoy your writing. I enjoy your take on certain subjects. I don't agree with everything ... I don't read everything ... but I come by everyday just to see what you're up to.
uhm...it would be nice if you would approve my request on Yahoo...Thanks...you know I don't have that much patience LOL
Thank you. I love the way your write regardless, so limiting myself to one particular subject is hard...
I appreciate your comments on the War in ________ (I'm assuming the black community, relationships et. al., although I'm going to have to run through the archives to find out). I appreciate that as a brother, you bring a difference perspective to the table, and although we may not always agree, I enjoy the discourse.
And if I had a wish as far as subject matter - that you'd write about the war more, although you write about it quite a bit. I guess my wish really is that we (the men & women seemingly engaged in this war) would have this discourse more often.
