Re: "Give up?"
Blogging is a solitary experience. hmm.. it sure feels that way doesn't it? But, have you looked through your web server logs? I'm sure you'll find that many lurkers all over the world spend a few minutes hearing your thoughts.
And those are good thoughts. :-) Thoughts that enter the minds of readers and swim around a bit. Maybe they shake things up. Maybe they prompt action. Maybe they just make endocrinal juices flow to either enrich, enrage, or simply engage them. Whatever it is that they do, they do something. And maybe that's just enough to make it worthwhile, no?
For example, I haven't yet seen The Passion, but when I do I might actually talk about it with my sister. Why? Because I read her inspired thoughts in her 'blog.
Another cool thing about blogging is that it's a way to capture what's on your mind. The reason that's cool is that if something is on your mind strong enough to inspire you to write about it, then it means something to you. Even if it's stream of consciousness drivvel, the reader can still learn something about the personality of the writer. The reader could be someone else, or it could be yourself years later.
So, in some sense, your brother is a fan, AJ. I always have been. The little brother whom you played chinese checkers and giraffe with, watched Love American Style with while babysitting, and dragged with you from church to church: that guy. He thinks you're interesting. And when he's 3000 miles away, your 'blogs and MW posts are some of his few family connections. I guess he could call you. But who does that anymore? ;-)

I'm a fan of Arleen's too. She's got a much more open mind than most people who litter the interwebnet and she has a real, vital goodness that ought to be celebrated. Don't tell her I said so, though. |
