As for me
My blog is a place where I can share some of my thoughts and feelings.
As to the thoughts and feelings I don't want to share with anyone else, I write them down in a journal or in a document on my computer that I don't share with anyone else.
As to the thoughts and feelings I want to share with someone in particular, I share them in person, in an SMS or in an e-mail addressed to the person or persons in question. Occasionally also: by telephone.
The thoughts and feelings I am sharing on-line are published with the expectation that someone else will read them. To be precise, a combination of the people I have invited to read my blog; people they in turn have shared it with due to some insightful, humorous or otherwise shareworthy sentiment they've come across here; and people who have come across it by accident / serendipity / fate.
Although I post these thoughts and feelings primarily for egotistical reasons (I do so enjoy to see my words in print! for all to see! on the World Wide Web!), I am also quite curious about the responses of others to my thoughts and feelings. This is why I welcome and indeed invite commentary. Although this in itself is no doubt also egotistical. And despite the fact that, to date, my blog has received very little commentary indeed. Probably because the number of people fitting the criteria mentioned in the paragraph above is, to date, small. Possibly even miniscule. As a result of which I thank you, in case you are reading this paragraph, for doing so. And for your visit. And for your comment, in case you are about to leave one.
This shall be the last time I shall shamelessly solicit commentary in my postings. (Current resolution)

i enjoy your blog. i read it far more often than i comment on it. i miss it when it is idle. i am glad you are back.
indeed the same is true of my visiting:enjoying:posting ratio with respect to your blog. but thanks for your comment! :)
i'm commenting anonymously, not so much because i am sneaking and being secretive, but because it is easier than logging on for an account. i figure it is better to post anonymously than not to post at all, which are sadly my current two options.
anyway, love reading the blog. often comment in my own head, though not on blog. sometimes i feel that alleycat can know my comments or that i have read simply because i have done it in my head. this happens to me sometimes when Outlook reminds me of someone's birthday. I think, silently, OH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to that person, but then forget to actually wish it to them.
Anyway! have a happy day.
Dear anonymous,
Wait! Don't go! You can comment with any name you choose! See how I demonstrate by typing my name in the "Other" space instead of selecting my Blogger display name or Anonymous! But please! Feel free to comment again, whether Anonymously, using your Real Name or a Made-Up One, or even in your head (I'm working on my international telepathy reception skills...) (presuming you are not wearing one of these)!
Thanks for your visit! Come again!
