I (we) respect you more than you know. We all miss you, but are very supportive of your dream(s)!

And you are right, you will always have us for the rest of your life!

You have reminded me that I have always wanted to travel to China / Taiwan!

Keep your spirits up! We are all bragging about our friend Mark, who is doing great things!

-Your friend Dan!

It isn’t easy, and now that I’ve met a lot of people who have done it long term, they usually seem to have no money or be more or less alone. But, it can be hard to go back once you start.

Site counter says on their stats about me right now that:
(Visits) Average Per Day 436
But I’ve been checking it and my average has been like, barely over 50…
They just sent me an email not long ago:
Total …………………….. 465
Average per Day …………….. 60
I’m only showing like, 200 sessions a day with Urchin stats..

There is some mistake. I was wondering why you were talking about my visits going up. I was like huh? 50 ain’t much..

I emailed you the list of ping service thingies I list with (some english sites, some japanese) so you can put them all in your own blog too.. But as far as people linking to me, just you.

I think what did it was my swiss-cheeze like arguments in my comments on other people’s blogs — I have a heck of a time making a complete argument . Readers of my comment would think, “who is this idiot?!” and click on my name and eventually get to my blog and hopefully find my thoughts more organized in a more complete “essay” style write-up. (I’m going to try and stop commenting on the political stuff and just write my thoughts on my own site because my simple comments always seem to get twisted around and around and before long I’m being quoted to say I’m a devil worshiper or something like that.. which clearly I didn’t say )
