Toe Nails

I've been thinking about the people that read this.

Yep, I've been thinking about you.  I think about you a lot to be honest.  And I really like you, maybe a little bit because you like me too.  Well, I hope you like me anyway.  That's why you come to visit me right?  I mean you don't have to think I'm perfect or anything, we all know I'm a bit on the geeky and flawed side.  But I guess you think I'm tolerable, right?  Well anyway, I do really like you and think you're pretty great (unless you don't like me and just come here to laugh at me, in which case...well, since I don't know about it, no harm, no foul, eh?)

And I guess what I've been thinking about you, is that I hope reading this silly stuff every now and again makes you feel better.  I hope it makes you feel happy.  I hope it makes you remember the cool things you've done in your life.  I hope it makes you think of the people that make you feel special.  I hope it makes you think of how you're cool just the way you are (have you noticed how I'm always trying to accept who I am?  pretty much the theme of the blog folks.  You might hear about it twenty million more times if you're tolerant enough to click here again and again and again without shouting in capital letters with three exclamation points "SOMETIMES CHANGE IS GOOD!!!").  I hope it makes you think about how there are lots of nice people in the world.  I think that is some of what I'm meaning by all of this ruminating and rambling.

Mostly, I don't want for this to be a forum for a bunch of broken self-flattery.  Mostly I want this to be a place where we're all like, "Man, yeah, life is crazy and hard sometimes and strange a lot of times too, but it's good."

Anyway, just thought I'd let you know I was thinking about you and I wanted to say thanks for stopping by.

P.S. - Speaking of a strange life.  I just lost the toe-nail off of my second toe on my right foot.  I think that toe-nail is pretty much giving up on existing anymore.  "Too many miles!" it moans at me when I lace up my shoes to run, "Too darned many miles."  I've lost this toe-nail at least once per marathon training rotation and I've run more than one of those by now.  So two strange things: 1)people run marathons, and 2) I still wear flip-flops in the winter WITH a missing second toe-nail.  Oh, and one more strange thing - for some reason I really, really, really thought you'd like to hear about my missing toe-nail.  STRANGE!!!!  And that's life for you.
