existence

I was just checking on my site hits. I am particularly interested in where people are when they stumble on my blog. And in conjunction with something I saw on a myspace blog about why people blog - my thoughts formulated into this:

People blog for all sorts of reasons. Fundamentally, they are looking for some sort of attention, a "hey, I'm here" kind of cry. The fact that I have people in places like Alaska, England and Japan, who read my blog is astounding to me. There are people out there who know that I exist. They don't necessarily know me, but they have somehow acknowledged my existence.

Makes me feel a little less insignificant in this huge world of ours.

You can set up a sitemeter at sitemeter.com. There's a little link at the bottom of my page (under the Blogger icon and HP Sorted icon).
