feedback is not just an 8-minute song by the grateful dead

I just want to write something I believe in and believe should be out there in cyberspace someplace. But I’ve realized that publishing in a vacuum is fun for only so long. What I’m saying is that I want to hear from you, gentle reader. There are at least two of you stopping by every hour. I know I have dozens of people tapping my RSS and XML feeds. What draws you here? What keeps you coming back? What resonates with you? Do you have something to add to what I’m saying? I may take your comments to heart, or I may completely ignore you, but at least I’ll have more information than before.

pop go the bullet points

I've looked back at my first four entries in this journal and realize that I can be quite wordy.  Which makes sense because that's how I speak as well.  I tend to paint pictures with my words, leaving no corner of the canvas untouched.  Over the course of many years, I've discovered that my speaking style produces two possible reactions in people 1) intrigued interest, or  2) a desire to tear the eyeballs out of one's own head.  There seems to be no in-between.
