It's Weirder Than it Sounds

I love reading blogs and I read A LOT of them, but I don't comment that much. There are lots of reasons for this, but it's not because i don't read them. It's just that sometimes I don't have anything worth saying that hasn't already been said. That's not a reflection on the blog content, but more a reflection on me I think, but anywho . . . Sometimes on a blog, you read sad stuff. I have actually wanted to send a little something to a blogger (just a pick-me-up or what have you) to cheer them, or maybe to congratulate them on something, but I never do it.

The reasons for that are even weirder than you can imagine. But whatever. .

I just wonder if people get attached to bloggers who don't even know them, because i sort of do. I don't lie awake wondering where they live or anything, but I wouldn't like anything bad to happen to them, and if it does, I feel bad. Weird, huh?

My son has a friend over every Tuesday. His friend's name is Tim, so we like to call those days, TimmyTuesdays. It's lame, but that's how I roll. Anywho, we picked up said Timmy last week and were driving home discussing the best weapon to have in a zombie infestation and whatnot (frankly I feel that the crowbar and machete should not be counted out so easily - you can't run out of ammo) and we drove past this guy.

And I swear I am NOT making fun of him because this guy rocked. I was really afraid you couldn't see it in the photo. We had to turn around to drive past again to take it. His beard is so long, it is actually fluttering and bouncing over his shoulders as he runs. It's like seeing one of those garden gnomes running down the street.

Pretty cool - Ima try and blow it up for you.

So that's what Santa's doin' in June right?

  1. Jogging Santa rocks, but I swear if we have to start ho ho hoing an old guy with six pack abs, I'm packing up my fat self and moving to another planet. Or to Samoa.
    I get attached to my favorite bloggers. I don't think it's weird, but most people think *I* am weird, so take that into consideration when assessing my opinion.

  2. My feelings exactly on commenting and attachment to the blogs I read. They have become a part of my day and so yes, I do get attached to them.

  3. Santa needs to work off all those Christmas cookies somehow.

    I am the same way about getting easily attatched to certain blogs too.

  4. It is not weird to care about people! It would be weird if you did not.

  5. Santa!

    I don't think it's weird at all. Blogging is a very intimate thing in some ways. We often share things online that we would never tell people in our daily lives. I think caring about people we read is normal and very human.

  6. I agree with your thoughts on posting comments. Often, if I have just started reading a blog, I'll lurk for a while before commenting. It's not as though the blogger will ever know it, but I feel like it's a little less abrupt. LOL And yes, I realize how weird that sounds. :)

  7. Not weird at all - I'm a lurker too. I have blogs that I used to read, people that don't write anymore, and there are a few that I became "e-friends" with, and I miss them now so much that they don't blog. I do wonder what happened to them, and hope they're OK and happy. Maybe not daily, but relatively often.

    Not strange! Good hearted. :)

  8. I completely agree with the blogger attachment. Love the zombie convo and the beard. Good stuff. :)

I can't figure out how to respond to comments because blogger is funkay. Thanks for leaving one anyway!
