Being open...... to the middle...?

Being open...... to the middle...?


I've heard that most of us out here in blog land are a bit shallow. I read a fun post about a week ago that said that we are very unlikely to read long posts regardless of the content. (Keep in mind that I have a very bad sense of recent time and refer to every day for the last week or so as yesterday). Most people seem to read posts the way they read words and sentences. They read the beginning and the end and not so much of the middle. We kinda just glaze over the stuff in the middle.

Anyways, I found it kind of interesting because I posted a very long entry for my last post. Interestingly, it was more than obvious who did and didn't read the whole thing. I got more mail in response to that message than I've gotten in the last couple months combined. But, the interesting part was that almost everyone who read it emailed me and left a long heartfelt message, but almost none of the short responses on my blog. Thanks by the way ya'll. You know who you are; I was very glad to hear from you and much appreciated the kind words and thoughts. As always, I am blown away by those of you who are full of love, kindness, sugar spice, and everything nice .

It's funny what people miss when they don't notice what's in the middle. And yes, I mean that as a metaphor for more than just my silly post; I'm not that egocentric. I caught myself getting caught up in my own life several times yesterday. That might not sound like such a horrible thing I guess except that I was missing what was going on around me and what could have been going on around me. I don't mean it as regret, just that I wasn't "living" life. Instead, I was living in my own little world clouded by my own little perception. It's amazing how often I, and everyone it seems, get stuck in my own feelings and thoughts.

There's entirely too much of this going on out in the world me thinks. The funny thing is that it's so much more happy and fulfilling to be in the moment and part of the world instead of isolated in my own mind. Why do people torture themselves so much? Life is such a beautiful and amazing thing, and much too good to ignore.

Or...I might just be full of shit

Hope you can't help but find happiness, and pain can't find you even with help!

Check out my blog and give me a look loves hokietiger

I figures, and treated it as such. I just 100% sure about it, lol. I have visited ya one or twice quickly though . I'm kinda weird about responses though. On my blog I usually leave one for everything, even if it take me a couple of days to get to it. On other people blogs I don't have time to answer them all because I like to be personal and write more than a sentence (as you can tell, lol). So, I have to be in writing mode and I have to be thinking about the topic really. Don't worry, one day I will see it, write to you, and you will wish I hadn't when you have to read it all, lol.

No worries about the joking. I'm pretty jovial. It takes a lot to get under my skin. I don't think I've really been mad at anyone but myself for several years. And, that's only because I kinda hold myself to crazy standards that I very rarely meet. Unhealthy, I know, but it keeps me going in the right direction.

Glad to have you around and I hope I keep seein ya

HokieTiger replies on 2/24/2008 2:15 pm:
I'm a big fan of the middle too pix .

Don't forget the big middle: life, otherwise you're just being born or dying

I love your blogs too and I have a feeling what inside you is even better than the cover too. I know,... it seems like a stretch being as hot as you are , but I'd wager on it . Sadly though, your computer isn't helping us out there now is it ? So how's that going?

Glad to see you around today and I'm looking forward to your blog being more active again too.

TIGER, I remember the first post I read of yours, you went on and on and on...and I fell hard for you...the intelligent, respectful, insightful man that you are...from that moment on...I have and will continue to read everyting you write...in my blog, in yours...

NO matter the length...YOU always have something important to say...always...you always teach me...open my heart, my soul and my mind...to things I have may well forgotten.

How can you be such an amazing person at such a young stage in your life? (no disrespect meant) as most men your age, (and mine) are still so shallow and unknowing?

Rambling my absolute favorite of bloggers...ramble...write as you do, and teach as you do...for you are the ROCK STAR...and on a side note....I WOULD LOVE to talk to you in person , well yes in person, but via the phone...email outside of here...so I am sending you an email...Peace Sexysista39

Peace,

Hey sexy,

I remailed you and let you know how to reach me best already.

I am a thinker and definitely a feeler too, just don't think too much about it. I've never thought I was anything special. I'll agree I see things I think most don't but that doesn't mean I am a priest and always able to live what I think. I write what is on my mind and what I think of often. It matters to me and I genuinely care about all the things I write about, even the joking .

I look forward to hearing from you maybe, just hope you don't think TOO much of me. I don't know if I can live up to it.

On a slightly lighter note; I like your writing and who you are as well. You're one of the couple reasons I blog so much and so regularly.

Wanna hear how shallow I am?

I dont like color..

When it read it ..it hurts my eyes and then I find myself re reading the same sentence over again...

To mush busy stuff going on for me is distracting...I relize this is a problem for me..hence all the colorful blogs in blog land and I do my best to try to keep reading but at times I just cannt read the middle stuff.. I sometimes have to hit on key words..

I am sure it is some kind of disabilty in my reading skillzzz.. but I will do my best to keep reading you cause I love our blog friendship.

You cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved.


HokieTiger replies on 2/23/2008 5:46 pm:
Hey there miss sexy legs Like how you adopted that for talking here, lol.

I'm not a huge fan of changing colors in the text too often except to answer the little survey questionnaires people sometimes post. The colors in lines screw with me too. Sometimes more is just more and not better.

Something in my blogs bother you? The backgrounds are the only color I could think of. I just do that to make it less plain since I don't use lots of pictures.

And, I think I'll make up a new fun word. We have a blogship .
