A cyber stalker? I should be so lucky! I guess it’s always a risk that you run when you have some personal info online, but I think this comes back to my main point, which is that it feels like anyone and everyone is watching you when really no one is!

Sean - don’t ever give up on blogging. Even if you’re only reaching 30 faithful readers and a handful of randoms, that’s 30 people a day who love what you’re doing enough to come back. Even if they don’t comment (and damn them if they don’t!) they’re all part of a community based around the things you have to say. It’s easy to get disheartened, but if you ask me, even reaching a handful of people with your words makes a bigger impact that most people ever will.

Yeah, that’s what I meant… If you do it to go somewhere, you’re pretty much setting yourself up for disappointment I think. But I understand where you’re coming from, I guess I just gave up on my dreams at a young age :P.

Haha Brad… I’m realizing that everything in life always comes back to hockey. I’ll get back to you on that but again I’m already playing hockey twice a week right now which is more than enough.

Thanks for the comment Henrik. You’re absolutely right in that you have to do it for yourself, but when you get limited feedback (present company excluded) and see very little growth over a couple of years, you start to realize that it’s just not going anywhere.

If you are looking for a new way to spend your time, join a ball hockey team! Next season starts in June and if you are interested I’ll hold you a spot.

Kind of ironic that the top ad on the page reads “Make Money With Blog. I make more than a doctor and don’t even stick my finger on it.”

Well this post is a downer! I understand your way of thinking though. Sometimes it seems so easy to become rich and famous that not being it gets frustrating.

I think the most important thing is that you serve yourself. When you do something like this, you can’t do it with an audience in mind. That will only lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. I think you if you’re not doing it for yourself, there is no reason to do it.

I am going to miss your presence if you quit though. You’re my cybertronic newsstand and good buddy.
