Send me a Valentine!

I realize that I didn’t make a screaming reappearance after my January hiatus; I’ve never been one for grand entries. But, being that I’m back, I thought I’d be so forward as to ask all of you out there to take a minute to say “hi” to me. I know this is sort of a “trend” in the Blogosphere, but I am really curious. You see, the picture posted here is of the unique visits that this Weblog received last week. And the numbers here (1400 to 1800 unique visitors per day) have been pretty consitant (give or take a few hundred) for the last year now. Even if half of that is from referrer spam, it still means that there are 700 to 900 visitors who either come here via Google, their Blogrolls, or by some other means. Anyway, please answer the questions below so that I can know who you are!

Name: Age: Profession: Location: What’s your “talent”?: How did you find this Blog?: Valentine’s Day… Innocent fun or corporate money-maker?: Does this Blog lack anything of importance?:

Happy Valentine’s Day!

this blog lacks: um, nothing. In my estimation, the purpose of a blog is to write what you want to write when you want to write it, to include what you want to include when you want to include it. Thanks for sharing so much with us, Tim.

Whatís your ìtalentî?: Conversating.

Valentineís DayÖ Innocent fun or corporate money-maker?: Yes. But you can bypass the corporate thing by being a little creative. Some poeple say we should express our love all the time and not relegate it to one day out of the year. and i absolutely agree. but as with lent, christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, whatever, it’s not a bad practice to take a specific time out of the year to give special and deliberate focus to the thing at hand. and that’s how i feel about vday.
Does this Blog lack anything of importance?: Pictures of me. Otherwise, Tim, you’re on the ball.
