the person behind it all...

its funny you know. i mean blogger is. here we are hundreds (thousands?) of us, all recording our souls on a little web page. with no knowledge of who will read what we write, who will like what they read, or who will post a comment if any at all. its interesting how a complete stranger can read the words you write without even knowing how you look, without even knowing the person in front of the screen.

do you ever imagine the person who's blog you are reading? ever try to picture them in your mind while you read their works of art. while you read their inner thoughts about life, love, the world, God and so forth? ever try to put a face to all the words? i think its pretty interesting that you can follow someone's blog and know so much about them without really knowing anything at all. you can read people's thoughts from the other side of the world, granted you know the language they are writing in. you can connect with people without ever really knowing them. you can bond with a complete stranger that might live one door away from you or one continent.

sometimes while reading someone's blog i start thinking along these lines...trying to put a face to the person from whom all these words are oozing out of.

I guess i can understand where you are coming from even though i read only your blog. Although you have to watch how much you get involved with these blogs and if you get involved with these people. You NEVER know. They could be Charles Manson for all you know, writing from prison. Even though we all know that we can't help but read and wonder about that person. We can't help that thing call Curiosity. Even though it killed that cat hahaha

mmm yes. I think you used to have a picture on here, so I think I know what you look like. But it's pretty trippy how this whole internet thing makes geography irrelevant.

We're you surprised when you saw me and Matt and Trevor on my blog?
