Howdy Jorge. I don’t know about meeting ppl from the interworld… I haven’t met any as of yet. I’m a bit too scared to- in case they turn out to be psycho-stalker types. (Ah Theresa is a nut-case at times!) I don’t think my blog-persona really matches my person-persona. Half the time I write how I talk, sometimes how I think, and sometimes just to experiment with words. I think people who know me know which is which and can mostly see the me in there- but meeting me after the blog would be weird. Not for the faint of heart- lol. Don’t let the man get you down. T

Wow, good for you for deleting that. Can’t say that I have ever got one of those people commenting. So far all the people that have offered comments have been great people. I am at 8 negative comments and counting. At first I kept them, now they get tossed in the virtual garbage bin. Of the 8, not one has left a link to a site or a blog. As for meeting people in the blogosphere, I’m hard to get to know, but easy to shoot the shit with. Plus, I virtually knew you and Shellie BTB (Before the Blog), so it was like catching up to someone you hadn’t seen for a while. No big whoop. Cheers, ~ian

Jamie – Audio blogs? Weird. I kind of like the typing-ness of this medium. The ability to edit is quite important. I am not really the best typist by any stretch of the imagination (why, at this very moment, it’s taken me fifteen minutes to type up to this point -> .), so it’s great to be able to edit what I’ve made my billion mistakes on. re: jerk I suppose that by talking about this event -> someone posting a comment that led to a negative blog (for me, anyway), I have given it power. Ah well. I notice from time to time that I get trackbacks from a drug company. Anyone else find this on their blogs?

Hey Jorgie, Forgive this comment which will be rife with typos…I am typing one handed because of the melting popsicle I am trying to lick up. Which of course begs the question: how many keyboards will I have to replace this year before I stop eating at the computer? Running total so far: 4. That’s not so bad. After the first two, I’ve only been buying the cheapie ones. Funny you should mention the whole voices/blogs aspect: some people are starting to take up the new trend of audio posts on their blogs, which is strange to me since I tend to think that a blog inherently implies written words. Anyhow, one such post I recently heard was from a girl who is nice enough, but someone who writes plainly and doesn’t have much going on in her life that she considers writing about. But I was blown away by her post because she has the sexiest voice alive (of course, she has this lovely, lilting British accent…). That definitely changes things. Also, it’s a shame that you have to come across some undesirables while blogging. With the traffic I get, I have had problems with spammers and perverts alike…and have also discovered that I am linked by several porn sites, which I can do nothing about. J

I guess I am old-fashioned, too, because I don’t even find one racist comment tolerable. I am maybe too selective when I pick people to be my friends, but certainly the way they view other people is #1 in my list of criteria.
