So, remember that write up of bit.trip beat I did the other day? Have you seen the comments? The creator went and posted something<\/a> on there. Makes me wish the post was a little better written. (I have several sentences I would edit, in retrospect, but it seems bad form to go back and do it)<\/p>\n

Man, what is this? Why do I have people like that coming to this blog? Do I have an actual website or something?<\/p>\n

Let’s look at the facts.<\/p>\n

I post every day now. When I started doing that back in… what… November 14th of last year? I didn’t expect I would really keep with it as much as I do. But dammit, I haven’t missed a day yet. It’s interesting to be so dedicated to putting some stupid shit up here every day, but I very much like that it’s become a habit. It’s something I have to do. It keeps me writing, even if it is just whatever random shit that oozes from my head. I have something to show for it, at least. I like that. So yeah, like an actual website, I post every day.<\/p>\n

I have readers. And you’re all awesome.
\nBut seriously, I have some readers. This is to be expected. I mean, I have friends who could care what I think about things. But the thing that makes it legit? Some of them I don’t even know who they are personally. I even have commenters<\/em> now who I cannot place and can’t figure out. And they aren’t spambots! That’s something an actual website has, right?<\/p>\n

Finally, I have things like I mentioned earlier. I have some recognition from people who make things. Granted, it’s mostly from indie things (completely awesome indie things, though) so it’s not too shocking that someone like Jalapeno Bootyhole from one of these smaller outfits might have the time to leave me a comment. But it’s still totally ultra cool. It certainly seems like something an actual website would have.<\/p>\n

Is my hard work paying off or something? Am I legit? I mean, if nothing else, I know I have a lot of Google cred. My website has existed for a long damn time. But man, I can’t really get it around in my head that what I’m writing might actually be read by a human somewhere. It’s still kind of crazy.
\nI think it’s best if I keep it that way, though. I don’t want to keep myself from writing very personal blog posts, even though I also want to keep writing my little very personal reviews and stuff. Basically, what I want to do is write. Something. So I shouldn’t hold myself back or make myself write this or that… I should just write. And I will.<\/p>\n

And if you keep reading it? Well, that’s totally awesome. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
