hmm

[referring to prior entry] –

I wonder if that’s how truly insightful people feel when they read my journal. Probably. I make an effort to be insightful most of the time (I really do!), but there are just some of those days where I find myself just talking about what I did that day.

Why do I do it? Why do I say shit when there’s nothing to say? Mostly because I feel undeserving of the two-fifty/some odd uniques I get every day. I know I know, it’s nothing like Ernie’s 1200 or Rene’s 12,000… But the fact that I actually do have readers makes me feel conscious that this is a representation of me — and I feel the need to keep it well updated.

Sometimes I wonder if I should be like some people and only update when I truly feel like I want to express myself. — But then, I’d lose the hits.

Why do I even get any anyway? Is it because of the effort I make to make things interesting? Or is it because I have my cam image floating around the internet? AM I truly interesting? Or just randomly lucky to have the right people linking to me?

Probably the latter.

I realize I post a lot about posting. It’s just one of those subjects that pops into my mind a lot as I post. I always wonder to myself “why?”…. and then when I get over that, I think of the “what?”s. ^^*

wow…you must really like to please your fans. that’s cool and all, but i’d kick back if i were you. no need to write about the deep stuff in your life if the inspiration isn’t present at the time. i’ve had plenty to write about, but i usually never get around to it cuz im busy doing other stuff…and it doesn’t bother me when i don’t get to post my journal stuff cuz im usually telling the people i wanna tell by chatting. then again, my website is nowhere near as popular as yours…but i dunno =\

yea, i agree with john nuch, lol. you shouldn’t write just to keep your fans or hits around. if they really were fans, they’d stick around all the time. do you really care about the hits? heh, just wondering.. i mean i do too, sometimes. lol. i’m not critcizing. i guess you must really like the fans, if you’re doing it for them. hehe you’re like a rock star or something for saying you do it for the fans. =P

Haha, I think it is partially what it is. Why else would I post things up on the Internet for people to see? I WANT people to appreciate me, I WANT people to like to read my stuff — The thing is, that can be a double edged sword sometimes because I don’t think of interesting things as often as I would like to write — but then if I update often, then I won’t have the quality that I want in my writing — The latter keeps the hits coming in — but is that what I want? What kinds of people are reading? That’s the ish that I ask myself.

i mean, what’s a fan or a reader anyway? Someone who cares about what you write or just some prick looking for a reason to jump on your case? Posting about posting is the same thing as posting about being bored.

relax your mind, let your conscience be free, then write.

Take care,
I’ll take it anyway I can…

I know exactly how you feel, I have this problem also. However, writing every single day sometimes results in nothing but uninspiring drivel, this also can detract hits.

Which is better, irregular coolness or regular nonsense.
I tend to go for the latter :/
