10,000 Disappointed People

Not talking about Royals fans.  There are less than 10,000 of those.

This isn't really a significant number to me, other than I find it fascinating.

10,000 times this blog has been clicked on, and since I'm not a self promoter and have no interest in the whole world finding out that I write, it's all been through mostly word of mouth or google.  Only a few friends have been given the link.

Smartly they never read a thing.

I have no idea who reads this.  I can guess, but have no idea.  

10,000 poor souls though.  I feel bad for them in a way.  They start googling things and this stupid blog pops up.

Imagine if one or two people learned something useful though?

43 people have googled Meghan Schnur and clicked on my blog.   Guess she is popular.  I wonder if she ever googled herself and went "Who the fuck is writing this?"  Truthfully I don't even know what I wrote about her...and I don't know her at all.

She is not as popular as this blog is in Ukraine though.  66 Ukranian people must have let their dogs get control of their computers and wander to this page. 

Russians have been to my page over 550 times.  Please don't tell Senator McCarthy.

The Dutch must have taken my nonsensical ideas and applied it to their style of soccer play.  I think the Netherlands has the fourth highest amount of hits.

The Germans have supported me of course.  Must be some of my dead relatives.  I guess they got bored.

I've had a couple of moments where I have been caught by people.

So there is this blog that talks about Meg Cunningham and how great she is.  "Oh really" 

You are that kid that writes about my roommate.  -The first words spoken by Court to me.  "excuse me...ME TURNING RED...what?" ...well this conversation will be awkward.  I'd really like to go now...

I was looking for Stephanie Labbe stats and they were on some blog.  "huh, that's strange"

You jerk, you wrote that my hair stuck up like a telephone pole.  (Actually I should have just said she looked like Marge Simpson) "yes I did"

Yeah, the players asked who might be helping us this year and we mentioned your name and they said "he knows a lot about us" so we went up to marketing to ask about you.

I love Nanners who started talking to me about stuff I wrote on my blog even though I hadn't told her I wrote one.  I remember thinking to myself, well I wrote about that, but never talked to you about that.  Nanner's is partly inspiring my bike ride this weekend.  Except she did my ride about 90 straight days, so I have nothing on her.

I found out an Arizona State football player read this.  Once I heard that I picked them to win the Pac-12.

10,000 people.  I have no idea who I have made laugh, laugh at me, embarrass, creep out or inspire.  I like it like that.  I don't like talking about this.  I just do it.  I'm just opening up my mind.  It's like following my twitter, except I unfortunately can't be held to 140 characters here.

So to the 10,000 times people have clicked on this, hopefully I haven't wasted your time.
