Last night I couldn't sleep.
I can't help it but sometimes my brain just goes into overdrive, which is better than when it's stuck in park but that's not really the point of this post.
So yeah, last night I was thinking about my blog and, more importantly, what its point was. When I first started blogging in May 2005 I think I just wanted to see what it was all about, I had heard the term "blog" but never really knew the true meaning of it. You see, I have been expanding my horizons lately and I think I understand the whole phenomenon, the blog 'verse is where people can connect. Tiny little communities of strangers who would have otherwise never crossed paths with each other are suddenly linked together. Some people think that the world is becoming less friendly but I think the blog 'verse is helping to join people from all corners of the world.
People sometimes ask me "What is Angry Gnome? What do you hope to achieve?" and the truth is that I don't know, starting off I wanted AG to be a place where I could keep in touch with friends and to A) entertain my readers and B) to air my petty grievances about the world. I think I have been pretty successful on both accounts and I have also found the added benefit that writing is cathartic for me.
So I guess I just want to say that I thank you all for dropping by and reading my rants and rambles. Sniff. (A tear falls to my cheek, oh ok, not really but the sentiment was there and that's what counts.)

you are welcome.
but really, i sometimes think that blog is nothing more than having your own cheerleaders.
i sometimes go to others blogs and read all these comments like... you go girl! you rock! so, it's like a big support group... but the thing is... there is no obligation. which is good and bad because sometimes, people just drop off the blog world never to be seen again...
no matter what, i think it is a good thing to write things to entertain yourself and others.
