when you were jamming out to your favorite song in your car, totally singing and car dancing, and then realized that four other drivers were staring at you? Yeah, I feel like that. I had just gotten a blog and was playing around with it and determined to keep it quiet for awhile, and then one day I decided to play with the hyperlink and said things that probably shouldn't have been done by a novice (because this novice was under the assumption that his blog would never get traffic and remain virtually unheard of). And then there was a disconcerting moment when I popped into one of my fav bolgs to read and was horrified to see that the title of an entry was much too familiar to something I had written earlier. Even though he was super cool about it, I still felt this need to delete the blog, crawl into a small hole in the earth and wait for the world to turn a few times.
And then there was a particularly awful line I had in my blog about him, which I retracted immediately because it needed more formualtion to convey what I wanted it to (and yes, I love a good whale penis as much as the next guy).
I'm sure I'll look back on this incident and laugh and laugh. But really the last thing I wanted to do was have my blog associated with a negative connotation. Well, regardless of what more I may write I still feel like that hole in the ground is a pretty good option.
(How did this get to them? I only sent the URL to one person and I didn't know him, and he lives in DC. And honestly thought he'd only visit the site once, and then I would go back into non-existence.) Lesson learned.

I will again state publicly that you did nothing wrong. And I didn't mean for it come off like I was giving you a hard time. I can honestly speak for both Tim and myself that we were nothing but complimented by what you wrote. Don't censor yourself. Have fun with it. Please do not let my post in any way hold you back from writing and saying whatever you want or feel like saying -- it wasn't intended to do such. Take care, buddy.

p.s. I found your entry because anyone that clicked on that hyperlink on your site became referenced by my server that registers who visits. And it took me right to you. Just that easy.
and that's how i found you as well: thru the hyperlink which directed traffic to my site.
one more thing, don't censor yourself and have fun with writing. i'm looking forward to hearing more...
