Natalie, who seems to be my one reader these days, thinks that the reason why my comment count is so low is because I just write so fast that everything else seems like old news.

I’ve also heard that it’s because I just write so well there’s nothing to add.

I believe one or all the following to be true:

• I ain’t as clever as folks like Jaded Ju who can pull diagnoses out of a hat, as poetic as Artichoke Heart, as funny as wKenshow or Karen Zipdrive, as nice as chari the goddess of good karma, or as outrageous as Tanya of the natural breasts.
  
• I bore people
  
• I offend people with my marginal topics and views
  
• I seem cold and self-centered
  
• I scare people with the way I slice and dice roaches. (Do they expect that I will eat them for supper?)
  
• I have an enlarged clitoris
  
• I’m too weird for comment.
  
• There’s some dirty secret going about me that I haven’t heard about. (This has happened before.)

I even see this when I leave comments on other blogs. The finger keeps coming back to me. And like a lot of people, I have to ask “Is it worth it? Am I communicating? Or am I just too far out from the whole American thing which concerns itself with things like the events of 9-11, the Super Bowl, Survivor, etc.?”

I’ve got to write. Better to put it all where someone might read it than in a notebook where it will just get boxed and, when I die, thrown away.
