I reached one of those milestone moments in March. Back in 2020 I reached the 20,000 comment mark and made a post about that:
I was pretty proud, I must admit. Commenting is the GOAL of this blog. Not likes, not attention from big sponsors who want to exchange my spit for gold, not even knowing that I have stuck it to WordPress.com and made them suffer nigh-immortal torment. No, my goal is to have lots and lots and lots AND LOTS of fun comments with people. And so on I went, tripping merrily along my little way.
Until sometime in March when I needed to check a stat in the old “classic” view. And the number of comments popped up, the EXACT number, not the flipping rounded number that the new view uses. And whammo, bammo, I was over the 60,000 mark!!!!!!!! 25K of those are mine, but that means you all have blabbed here 35,000 times since the inception of the blog in 2013 (yes, I have backdated posts to 2000, but I have only been here since ’16). Which means you all are a big fat bunch of blabber mouths!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your comments mean the world to me, no matter how silly, serious, confrontational or even plain spambot’y. I might write the posts (or post the art images) but you all are the ones that make posts pop. Thank you, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. I know you don’t have to comment and I respect the choice of those of you who don’t, but I want those of you who do comment to know that you feed my soul every time you drop those words on my blog. I once heard a lady I respected very much say that Beauty Feeds the Soul. I don’t disagree, but would personalize it to Words Feed Bookstooge’s Soul.
SO FEED THE BEAST!!!!!!!!
