M.I.A. BLOGGERS

I will have to admit that I get kind of pissed when my favorite bloggers don't update their blogs. I suffer from unreasonable disappointment when I visit (insert name)'s Web site, and his/her last post was something like six weeks ago. I always vow to take him/ her (Rebecca Walker--lol) off of my "Favorites" list, but I never do. I love knowing where people are and what they are doing and thinking, even if they only manage to make their thoughts public every few months. I wonder if at some point during the day we are thinking some of the same things; I don't seem to be able to let go of the imagined connection that is facilitated by this thing called a "blog."

The funny thing is that I can't imagine anyone feeling the same way about me. My last blog post was in May, and I have not felt any pressure to blog since. Although I have had lots of thoughts (some rather good ones, I might add) since my last post, I have not yet cultivated the kind of hubris that has to exist in order to believe that people actually care about what I think. Perhaps I need to start writing only for me... I could forget, for a moment, the readers that may (or may not) exist, and just write.

Anyway, I guess when I think about how I feel when "my people" have been M.I.A. for a minute, I think, maybe--just maybe--somebody might be waiting for a post from me.

Peace.
