So now I need to know…
Whoa… I did not do this post. Somehow, Stat Monkey talked the crack squirrels that infest my cranium into making me put that up there… in what I can only describe as a shameless attempt to improve the stats on yesterday’s post by trying to manipulate you using guilt.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not above using guilt to improve my stats… but I draw the line at pathetic whining and begging… and besides, we all know I have, if anything, an overinflated ego… bordering on megalomania… I mean, hey, I love me… so if you don’t want to look at pictures of me I am not going to sulk and feel sorry for myself… sniff…
Pouring My Art Out 
haha I need to steal that picture for a blog I want to do soon…. Can I if I link to you?
I don’t know which picture it is, but I’m sure you can.
I think you just inundated us with too many pics of Maui all in a row, multiple times a day! Mix it up a little, I think.
I am doing that.
Well, I’m not quite sure what to say… except that if I posted pictures of myself on MY blog, my stats would be out of this world. Although it’s safe to say that the majority of my views would be people looking for a peek at some titties….
I am not doing that… except for that one picture where I invented the wardrobe malfunction…
I have seen more pictures of Maui and you, you and Maui, Maui and you, in the last several days. Well, let’s not go there. I really enjoyed the photos, I did. There is something called the “tipping point”. You may have reached it, dear. Just saying. No criticism intended. Did I tell you my favorite photo is the one with your sister-in-law screaming at her husband? I copied that. Is that okay? I loved that one. Lucy
Well, don’t publish it on the cover of a magazine, but I guess it’s okay… and I know what you mean… even I am getting a little sick of the Maui thing. I will try mixing it up a little.
Poor Arthur. I will be more faithful, but sometimes I’ll just push Like.
I really just do those posts to suck in some new people… not make the regulars feel bad… I just think it’s funny…
I think it’s just the summer, people get busy doing hiking, swimming, gardening, or whatever things non-blogging people do. Of course, you’re in San Diego, so you may not know it’s summer.
People would rather live their lives than read my blog???
Stat monkey is adorable. He should pose with the banana.
He really lives in my children’s book… but I like using the sign for new messages.
Yesterday I dropped about 30% and today about 40%. Seems to be going around too. Not a lot of visited site comments coming in email either. So apparently not a lot of reading blogosphere wide. I knew I should have just gone ahead and done a porn site. Researching that would have been a lot more fun too.
Of course, I only do about 1 post a week. It’s a usually well over 1000 words and with graphics, but once you’ve read it you’re done. The last one at 3200 words got a record number of views for me, but very few likes or comments. Must have been something I said. Funny thing though, if they didn’t like it, they didn’t take me to task over it either. I guess I should be thankful for that. I’m still pretty damn proud of my effort with it, especially the video at the end. That was a last minute inspiration and the cherry on top. Maybe they don’t like cherries? Yeah, that’s it. Now I feel all better.
Weekends are always slow too.
go ahead and sulk…it’s freeing.
I will bear that in mind.
I always tell my students, “Don’t whine.” In your case. I think it would be therapeutic.
I suppose I am not really above whining…
Why-ne not?
HA!
HAHA!
whee!
vacation must agree with you. Have fun.
And I agree with vacation.
hahahahahaah…you are so funny!
awww… thanks.
What is it with you and the squirrels? I suspect depraved fetishism.

It is more of a parasitical infestation
It’s the crack head squirrels standing there with machetes stopping anyone from getting in
those bastards
I wrote a post this morning about how there seems to be less readers around. Perhaps we are all suffering from the same problem. Chin up. 🙂
I’ve also thought things seem a little slower as of late.
This seems to be the theory of fellow bloggers so far. They blame it on summer, even though it’s really still spring. 🙂
Once the students leave the dorms and the parents have to look after school-age kids, the slow summer season has begun…
I suppose…I guess I’m just old school when it comes to the months. 🙂
Things are just so willie nillie
Seems so…
unless I spelled it wrong
I can’t accept reality getting in the way of my stats.
Summer is getting longer because of global warming…
It’s all Al Gore’s fault!
It started that way, but I now blame the deniers.
Maybe I was hasty
You are always on top of the fluctuations…
Better than being on top of the flatulations… 🙂
I have that covered… sigh…
This seems to really bother you, Austin. I think it’s at least the third blog today where I see you complaing about this. 🙂
I’m not complaining. Just commenting…AB was mentioning that he had very few views on his post, so I was sharing my thoughts on the subject.
It is much better than just thinking people hate me!
Amen! No one hates you. 🙂
Well I hope at least a few people do… terrorists… politicians… gun nuts… morons… religious zealots… or I am not trying hard enough.
Well, we all do the same amount of work even if nobody reads it.
I had more posts than usual on my feed. So maybe it was an active day and it was easier to get lost in the mix?
oh… I wasn’t really expecting an actual excuse… but I do appreciate it…
I could look at pictures of you all day. I don’t know what that says about me or you, but I am shamefully sober at the moment, so this is deep cause for concern.
I ain’t worried…
I also could look at pictures of me all day… what does that say???
That says you need a mirror.
My reflection doesn’t show up in mirrors…
Try taking off the sunglasses.
Hey… that worked… man, I look old…
You know exactly what that says… ha!
dang it
I think it’s the strong planes of his face Trent. From an engineering perspective they would make good bridge pilings or sewer pipes. Anything concrete- an image that is reinforced by the grey hair
uh… thanks…???
Interesting. I’d never considered the engineering aspects of his face before. There is a certain angularity to his features, but a surprising pudginess too, that spreads between the structural members. I sense certain design defects and flaws, but that is part of the rough, downhome charm of the guy, I suppose.
My nose is crooked and I am missing one tooth…
Such minor perturbations are easily excused, my man.
I am a master of perturbations… I am a masterperturbator
You just had to make that dirty, didn’t you?
Of course I did.
I would have expected nothing less.
Nor should you have
And if you want to see a truly impressive structural member…
Ha ha ha! Well said, but, I suspect, fail!
Suspect all you want.
The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. What are you having for dessert tonight?
I had dessert for dinner.
I have dessert for dinner for lunch.
At breakfast time?
Crap, I shoulda thought of that.
yes you should have
I’m concerned or alarmed at this too…
ha
Just think how I feel!
I think about how you feel all the time… sort of soft… a little slippery… moist… oh yeah…
I’m not sure I know where this is going… but keep at it.
I think I’m done now… was it good for you?
Excuse me as I puff on a rather sizeable cigar.
oh yeah
I said cigar!
sigh
