No Comment

There is a certain blog I read on occasion that is slightly more popular than mine; last I checked it had just over 2000 followers.  What I find interesting about this particular Internet journal is that it's set up so that no comments can be left.  Perhaps I should try this.  Not for the same reasons as this other blog, which clearly is because the writer doesn't want to be inundated with the responses from thousands of strangers, with some possibly being a tad unstable.  No, my reason would be so that I don't have to embarrass my 13 followers with the '0 comments' section at the bottom of my posts.  I mean think how they must feel when they reach the end of yet another amazing post only to find that there are no comments.

It's not that I'm needy, what with the Russians reading again.  "Thanks guys!"  It's just that well, I'm needy.  So, perhaps if I remove the option to comment, I can live with the fantasy that thousands of people are staring at their computer screens muttering to themselves because they have been thwarted once again in their attempt write "Good Job" or "Brilliant". 

 I have no idea how to actually remove the ability to comment or even know if it's possible on my low budget site.  So, I'll just add that no response is necessary for this post.  No matter how tempted you may be, I ask that you refrain and kindly leave my brilliance hanging in dead air.  I'm working on becoming a better person and exposing myself to the great abyss, with no affirmation, is exactly what is needed.  Because it isn't really about what people think or don't think, it's about me needing to release my thoughts into a black hole, so that I can make room for the seemingly endless new ones that appear daily.
