Honored, in a way
Today I got an e-mail asking me to link to a new website from a person who admires mine, despite the fact we’re miles apart politically. If you read the site (only three posts old so it’s easy) people familiar with the Eastern Shore should be able to figure out who this is. I’m not going to say myself, since he does not choose to identify himself on his site. It’s definitely interesting reading as far as an introspective website goes.
In some respects he writes for many of the same purposes that I do. I just enjoy relating my experiences and opinions and for me the best way to do so is through writing. Some people may not like everything I write, but most seem to enjoy it and the words I write make them think.
So I took the opportunity of linking to his website (as he’s linked to mine) and revised and extended some of my other links. Among those I deleted a couple, changed some descriptions and I added a link to the closing band on the Court Street stage today at the Salisbury Festival. This band is called Apathy and they’re all young kids (I believe the oldest is 18) but they’re very talented musicians. Bought their CD they had for sale and enjoyed it driving about this evening back home and to/from the Ben Layton walk. (Can you say early bedtime with all of my walking today? But I walked the 2 miles in less than 30 minutes, which was my goal.)
If I have the time tomorrow I’ll go through my pictures of the Salisbury Festival and see if anything is blogworthy. I had my camera set to a larger format on most of my shots so I don’t know how many will work for monoblogue. Most of the shots I took were of the car show (regular readers know I like those) but I took a few other various ones, including of Apathy and another band that performed earlier called Losing 76. But tomorrow is a busy day for me as I volunteered to sell the wristbands at the tail end of the Festival so all the little kids can ride the rides. Then I have the Tri-County Lincoln Day dinner tomorrow night. I’ll probably write it up but I don’t think I’ll take my camera this time as interior pictures don’t do well with it.
So there will be a post on that next week, plus another couple I have in the works as well. Of course, I’ll be following the latest local developments on the proposed property tax increase with interest and how that petition drive is going. I did not see those people out at the festival but perhaps I missed them in my travels.
As always, I’ll try to make whatever I talk about interesting. I was talking to a blogging friend today (who shall remain nameless) and when I told him what my readership was according to my SiteMeter, he said “that’s way too low.” And he may be right judging by how many comments I get. Either way, I’m pleased with the way it’s grown so far and maybe it’s time for the next step. So stay tuned.
Oh, I forgot this late last night as I was writing this. I’m STILL getting comments on Pumpin’ and Dumpin’ so I’ll add an update next week.

In the interest of being fair and balanced, I provide this service to readers. But before you click on the picture below, just remember their message:

Please note that the opinions expressed on monoblogue are not necessarily those of the Wicomico County Republican Party Central Committee, of which I'm a member. (But they probably should be.)
Oceanshaman has a site of peace, love and harmony. He is politically inclined and I will expect some views on politics, it’s a peaceful journey however, enjoy the ride. To expose the very deep feelings of this person, offers a glimpse of a good hearted person that urns to spread good will. Nice change from the main stream media feed we all need a break from now and again. Looks like a daily read for me.
Thanks for the plug. Hard times can give rise to good lessons if one is willing to listen, reflect, and change.
I’m not trying to hide my identity, but I also have no interest in publicizing it either. Like you said, most from the Shore will likely figure it out. I’m pretty up front with the first post.
My vision with this thing is that the blog isn’t ultimately about me, anyway, but about the content that flows through me onto the page. Principles, not personalities. Issues, not ego.
My first issue post, sometime this week, will likely address beginning and end of life issues (abortion and right to die). Thorny but interesting issues involving a clash between society’s interest in life and the individual’s interest in autonomy. I hope you’ll check it out and comment. All reasonable minds invited to agree or disagree.
Namaste . . .

LoL A Head Banger for conservatives to look forward to : ) I warn you conservatives, wear a depends when you read that post. I guess I am a liberal on those issues.
