I'm curious to know who reads my blog. I'm curious to know why people read my blog and I'm curious to know why you have so much spare time on your hands. Unemployment, perhaps? Self-loathing disengagement at work? An addiction to blogs? A blogiction? A blogoholic (someone who is addicted to blogohol)? So drop me a line and let me know who you are, faithful blogohol lovers.
I want to know who reads my blog because much like Alice and her Wonderland, things on the Internets are not always as they seem. I use Google Analytics to give me some stats on the blog (number of site visits, what global regions visit the site, etc), but I think the people at Google lie. Just like Henry Rollins.
I have a healthy mistrust for anything that is found on the Internet. Sean and I lost all faith in the accuracy or validity of information on the Internet when we were renovating our house in Kitchener. I think we reached the pinnacle of our false-belief in the Internet when Sean was all suited up in a plastic jumpsuit (which was way too small and the crotch had totally ripped open), a respirator, safety goggles and gloves in order to remove some lead paint from our trim. It wasn't until after Sean had been whipped into a full-on heat-fueled rage that we realized that our childhood homes were full of lead paint, our parents ate lead vitamins and that our favourite childhood toys were made of lead (how I loved my anvil), and we turned out fine. After that realization, we abandoned our fears of lead poisoning.
Here are a few more examples of things on the Internet that aren't as they seem at first glance.
So, while I take a long, slow drag off the hookah, heed the caterpillar's advice and take a moment to tell me who you are. Feel free to email me, message me on facebook (you may have heard of it) or just comment on this blog post. I promise I will not sell your information for profit. Maybe for the purposes of identity theft, but not for profit.
