2000 times... THANKS!!!

4 months and 1 year ago, I challenged the interwebs with the burden of bearing some of my most intimate thoughts, inklings and opinions. I also (cringing at the thought) asked a few choice persons to actually read the afore mentioned and give me feedback. No one gave me the time of day, except for one guy (my harshest critic) who said I was "boring" (The truth was what I was after. Even if it did hurt my ego a little). Now, I can boast that I have transitioned from being "boring" to being "mildly entertaining". Not only have I gotten better (More liked?) but I also received a 2 word critique this time around (Improvements abound). I'm thankful for the honesty and frankness of my critic and look forward to the next evaluation.

T.A.G's blog has made the 2000 views milestone. (It's currently 2039 but I attribute about 20 of those views to myself so essentially... they don't count) This brings with it, as is customary, "The THANKS!!! Speech."

(To the Mathematicians who have asked themselves "How does he have 2000+ views with an average of 32 views per post?". My answer is: That is a very good question!
I don't get it either. Of course I have a few theories and plausible ideas as to why this is so [Viewing the Home Page adds to the Total without adding to the individual counts, there's some sort of Interactive Term used in the Additive Linear Model, Google has Math that befuddles gamers, I added WAY MORE views than I accounted for, etc.] but a concrete answer eludes me at this time. If I ever discover what sorcery this is I'll be sure to tell you in an update and if you find it before me be sure to let me know too because I tend to lose sleep over these things.)
