I gotta say, I am starting to enjoy reading your journal. As you know, I am somewhat of a connoisseur of weblogs, so while it may be a small complement to you that I enjoy your regular postings, it is still a discriminating one for whatever that is worth. One thing I am really beginning to notice though, thanks to livejournal's "friends" feature, is...now how can I say this without sounding overly contemptable (I really can't, because I am really a dispicable hypocrite who likes to pick and pick)...weblogs seem to give license to droves of aspiring writers to display how poorly suited they are to that profession. Thoughtless, uninteresting, lame, lame, writing that smells at a factor of 5 hobos. Now why should I care? Heck you just don't read weblogs you don't like and that's that. I guess I am attracted to the particular motivation, it seems so embarrassingly exhibitionistic

Anyway, what I am REALLY REALLY getting at (this is where you key in to mark what a pretenscious, cynical, asshole I am) is that there was a time jon, in the early days of your journal, where you were on the precipice overlooking a great ocean of crap, more than willing to fall in and swim with the rest of the shit fish, and your old pal james here got you to reconsider, in a matter of speaking...

-love,
james

why thank you james. your compliment means much to me given your past opinions of my posts here. i think i have become a little more comfortable with the format. and i wholeheartedly agree that most of these journals are fucking boring writing by people who sound like they are writing. and you might have been a little bit right in your earlier critque of mine as teetering toward that. i am glad it did not turn out that way. but i could alway fuck it up later.
