There's not a lot to report for Monday. I messed around online a bit (shocker, I know), chatted some, and crashed. I just wanted to take a nap for a couple/few hours, but ended up sleeping quite awhile. I did get good news, though. It's looking like I'll be going to the ND/Western Michigan football game. A good friend is hooking me up. She rocks! It'll be my first time back to campus since 2002. It's been too long.
I've really enjoyed blogging. I've always liked to write, and I enjoy sharing my life and my experiences, too. I wish I had more interesting things to say on a more regular basis, though, but that's just how it goes, I guess. Hopefully you do get a better sense of what's going on with me by reading this. It's often hard to put into words how I'm feeling (physically) or how it's affecting me, otherwise, but if you can take the whole blog as one entity, as different chapters of the same book, that should give you some insight into my situation and how I'm dealing with it. That's the goal, anyway.
I'm a little disappointed that more people aren't reading. So many friends had suggested that I do this, and that they'd be interested in reading it, but that hasn't been followed through so much. I'm maybe more bummed out that I haven't gotten more feedback from those who do check this out. I'm very grateful for all who do read and comment, but I was really wanting this to be more interactive. I know that I've mostly written about how I'm not feeling great and how I just mess around online, and I don't expect a comment about each little point I make, but I'd still like to know what you all think. Too, I'm not being as serious, sometimes, as I apparently come across. A lot of what I write about is meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek and self-deprecating. It's OK to laugh. For example, my Old Man Puberty piece was supposed to be funny, and my specific requests for you not to laugh at me were attempts to highlight the humor. I realize that our senses of humor may not completely match up, but please at least keep in mind that even when I'm telling the God's honest truth, I may not be as grim as you might first think.
Is there anything that you want to know about me? Is there any topic you'd like me to write about? Do you have any suggestions about the layout or format of the blog? Do you have any criticisms? What could I do better? What's working? How can I make this more interesting? How do I make this more interactive?
Another way to ask me questions, anonymously if you choose, is to go here: http://www.formspring.me/visorbrent. You don't have to sign up to ask a question, and I'll answer just about anything. There's a tab on my Facebook profile where you can access this, too. Check it out and ask me something :).
The biggest reason I decided to start this blog was to be more connected you guys. You'd get to see more of my day to day life (or lack thereof), plus I'd share my thoughts on this or that. Unfortunately, I've mostly just done recaps of what's been going on and haven't touched much on other topics. I was able to put up the Old Man Puberty post, and I added a poem to another. And not every other post was only explication. Whatever the case, a connection goes both ways, so please help me with that. I'd really appreciate you just letting me know you read it. 'Liking' the link I put on Facebook would be cool for that. Checking either "cool," "interesting," "funny," or "informative" at the bottom works, too. Help me make this more worthy of interaction. What do you want to read about?
Again, thanks to all who do check this out, especially my regular readers. I know I have a few of you out there, and I appreciate it very much.
Hopefully this didn't come across as me whining too much. And I do realize that if you're reading this, most of my pleas don't apply to you. But please do let me know what you'd like to see more/less of and how I can make this better for you. I'll do my very best to integrate your suggestions and I'll surely answer your questions.
Thanks so very much and happy Tuesday!
