BLOBBY'S BLOG

10,000 MANIACS

Hey Jack Kerouac - you look like your mother I think of your mother.

No... no...not the group (though back in the day, I did like them). The maniacs to which I refer are my readership. By the time I post this, my counter will have surpassed the 10,000 hit mark.

I realize this isn't a lot for a blog that has been in existence for over three years. But to be fair, I only installed a counter in December of 2005. I have no idea how many hits I had gotten in the 2.75 years prior to that. I'd like to think tons - but I'm figuring most likely not. I tend to stay under the radar. The only place I know I'm blog-rolled at is at Rebecca's site and one or two anti-Bush sites.

I'm also not web-savvy enough to know who the exact hit was - but I can (and will) narrow it down to a city and IP address. My readership is wide. Mostly folks from the U.S. - but with some consistent visits from Canada, Mexico, Israel, the UK and for some reason the one that gives me the creeps: The Hague.

There are no prizes for being the 10,000th. No confetti. No oversized check. You'll have to do w/the satisfaction that you are one of the proud readers of this blog. The blog that I take minutes (if that) to think, type and post my random
thoughts.


....and it seems the person who was #10,000 is......drumroll, please: from Fairfax, VA.
