This whole site has no point to it if nobody is actually even looking at the product, which nobody really seems to ever do.
I have made $7.20 from the sale of two shirts towards the scholarship and have decided to push this aside for a while so that I can develop a plan of action to make it more interactive and positive. And if I cannot manage to make this helpful or rather, make this work at all, there really is no point and I need to move on to something else.
So I am taking a break to give myself a fresh perspective and head space for a week or a few weeks. By June 15th at the latest I should have something to say or do here, or really I am going to dismantle the whole thing and do something else. I have had all of 2, 3 people comment since I pulled all of these journals from all over the web to one place, when I used to have loads (well 1700 comments recorded through all of them). It’s totally and entirely discouraging. I think people read this, or maybe the visitors are really all newfangled bots. All I know is I am rejecting the whole of online land…disabling myself everywhere that most know how to find me. I am half considering throwing my cell phone in a closet for a while as well–if E’s dad wasn’t so sick right now and I had another phone I very well might do that, but I need to have it on to ensure I am there when he needs me.
So yeah, thanks for being little voyeurs into my life…and never saying a word. You guys are totally awesome.

Oh, and religious broadcaster Harold Camping also now insists that the world will be destroyed on Oct. 21, The San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Hey im not a bot
Am I? Monkeys with keypads big difference 😛
And I am ordering a t-shirt and paypal-inf for it next week after my weekend trip to Rhode Island
Which should be lovely whether or not I get any college-revisited action… 😉 it is going to be so good to get out of Jersey
Strapped for cash otherwise I would order one now…I haven’t yet because I can’t decide on just one of the designs!
I started reading yr jrnl uploads at the beginning, and have gotten to page 150 so far…I didn’t leave any comments b/c I thought that would be too voyeuristically nerdy, ironically…but I will now 🙂
n.b. I don’t think there’s no purpose to the blog, even if the only purpose is that it provides a nurturing workspace 4 u as a writer, in real time, even if much of your knowledge and spitballing of your audience’s reaction has to be experienced in the hypothetical realm…
but
ifn u need some space to reconnoiter w yourself then I say go for it
Who is this Boydan person?

Yeah, I’m all for space and time, its good for you.
As to a writing hiatus from lack of leadership the following comes to mind :
Act for the craft of the stage, not the applause.
Sing for the song, not the contract.
Dance and stomp, howl and spin to the music, not the camera.
Paint to fill the canvas with a vision that comes from deep inside,
And write for your voice, not for the replies.
Erin — http://leftforbread.blogspot.com is my new blog if you wanna find out!

Thanks, Erin, I appreciate it and all of your feedback which I will respond to in a day or so…Boydan is an old friend…who probably understands me better than anyone, I’d imagine…actually yeah, you do know me better than pretty much anyone anymore. And we strangely do share the same birthday, which also provides new insight.

Boydan I will go check out your blog 🙂
I like that quote alot–is it yours?
I think lack of avowed following or fellowship less than leadership is the problem..
nobody here but us vermin
