A Break From the Norm

Those of you who perhaps have the amazing stamina to read me somewhat regularly will know that I do NOT make a habit of plugging people on the web, or getting involved in ANY type of “i-net drama” here on my site. This site is for me, and me alone, and I am not in it for a popularity contest, nor do I really care if people are linking me, or if they are talking shit about me. Just the same as I don’t link a person just because they have ME linked, or UNLINK them if they unlink me. And honestly? I think the people that do those sorts of things are missing the point. My links page is more my own personal bookmark page that makes it easier for ME to remember to visit the sites there. Because I AM getting old you know. 😉
But anyway, that being said, I feel a need to do a little plug-fest here today, say some thank yous, and show some support.
Ahhhh!! Watch out weblog world!! Craig has a weblog! I helped design it and set it up for him, but from there, it’s all HIS fault! Hehehehehe. (Craig is one of my oldest and dearest friends, from wayyyyy before my internet days – he is the one in the pictures with me on my about me page)
I also need to say a particularly heartfelt thanks to my sister friend Kari. Without her support and phone calls and ear, I would not even be as coherent as I have managed to be lately. Even with all the stuff going on in her OWN life, she has maintained that shining light that illuminates my heart from clear across the country. I love you, girl.
Dallas is a sweet, lovely lady, and a good friend, and a fellow contributor for Et Tu Ghettu?. I guess some part of the “i-net drama” world has hit her lately, and I just wanted to say…Dallas, girl, YOU are worthy, and you do NOT need to worry about someone on the internet who doesn’t even KNOW you saying something about you…when you turn off that computer, they are gone. *poof* *(*(*hugz*)*)* girlie.
I wanted to make an extra plug as well for the Shave Hoopty project. Some of you may or may not know, but Mike has been growing out his hair, and will have it shaved off for a cancer charity at BlogCon 2002. A beautiful cause from a truly beautiful man. Go show your support!
Also on Mike‘s site is the impatiently awaited “Rack Browser,” featuring some of the finest racks on the internet (including yours truly’s). LMAO! (CAUTION : DO NOT view the rack browser at work! *giggle*)
And not to plug MYSELF, LoL, but I added a few new poems, and I would LOVE to get some people adding to the story! Please??
And last but absolutely NOT least, I just want to say thank you too all of the wonderful people I have met lately, who make this whole internet thing worth while – Tashia, Rose, Romel, Rikki, Jai, Lynn, Alex, Kimberly, and I am SURE I am missing some of you, but rest assured you are not forgotten in my heart. =) *(*(*hugz*)*)*

A hundred times a day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depends on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the full measure I have received and am still receiving. ~ Albert Einstein
