stop lurking and comment already

why is it that i have only gotten 1 comment so far on this blog? i know there are peeps that read this (hi mom and dad) so why hasn’t anyone commented on the stuff i said? like, come on everybody, post some comments already... if you read my blog regularly and never comment, that is called “lurking”, and lurking is not cool. i want some feedback, which is why i allow ANYONE to comment, even if they aren’t a member of blogger.com. all ya need to do is something called “word verification” which is easy and the point of it is to prove you are a human being and not a computer program (since computer programs are too stupid to do word verification). that is just to prevent spam (ya know, stuff like “get viagra cialis xanax cheap canadian ph@rm4c7” or “free stock tips - rapidly growing australian mining company set for exponential growth in the short term” or “hey cutie cum check out my site :) x0x0x0x” or “i am the widow of former nigerian finance minister jgsfhvbsz areradhadfh and have 60 million u.s. dollars which i need you to deposit in a swiss bank account, and you will get to keep half” or “this is the newest edition of the wesendoutlotsofspam.info newsletter that is full of useful tips on how to send out lots of spam, to unsubscribe, send a blank email to iamanidiot@sendmelotsofspam.info” or “should the united states nuke iran?!?!?!?!? answer our free online poll and you may win a free hummer h3 suv!!!!”). if you want to start a “flame war” in the comments section, though, be careful, because when you play with fire you might get burned. anyway, i want to see how many people actually read this thing, so please leave a comment if you read this post. all comments must be exactly 500 words and address the following essay topic: “why this essay i am writing is pointless and stupid”. well ok, your comment can actually be whatever number of words you want and cover any topic; i was just trying to be funny (unsuccessfully i might add). i will only delete comments that i feel like deleting, and i will decide which ones to delete by using a magic 8 ball and conducting a séance to summon the undead spirit of john lennon to give me guidance from beyond the grave. john lennon’s ethereal ghostly presence will tell me whether there are any posts that are too offensive, or not offensive enough, to merit deletion.

Shame on us? You get angry because we lurkers don't comment on your blogs. But do you get on aim, email, or the phone and stay in contact with your friends/ex-lovers/aquiantences? The answer as you know is no. I'm sorry if playing video game and watching pr0n is taking too much of your time. The spirit of John Lennon? That was so used in last night's Colbert Report. I say you are the biggest lurker of them all. You conceal yourself, and only breifly pop out to write a babbling blog. Shame on me? Shame on you.

hey everyone thanks for the comments... btw anonymous, who posted first, is my friend erik, alika is my mom, and i dunno who r and sexy goddess are, although i did briefly look at r’s blog. erik, the reason i don’t stay in contact with people is i was like, outside mowing the lawn the last week or two, or something like that. or playing video games. or something. and my parents weren’t letting me on my computer at night. anyway, i am just not that social of a person, but i really value you as a friend, and i am thankful you stay in touch with me, so i have someone to talk to. mom, i renamed my blog to “numinous ubiquity” and hid my profile, so stop trying to make me paranoid that this blog will keep me from getting a job. r, the main reason i don’t like lurkers is i wish i got more feedback on what i say in my blog, so i can tell if what i am saying makes sense or if i am full of crap. i looked at your blog and i saw that we do have very different beliefs, so i hope we can get along and if i say something really ridiculous you can point it out and correct me, since i don’t really know how to look at things from other points of view. sexy goddess, why do i keep having dreams about you when i am asleep? or maybe the dreams are real and now i am asleep...
