Bless me readers, for I am about to bloggy sin;
Numbers Matter ~ We all say how unimportant our amount of daily hits are to our blogs, but that's a lie. I live and die on my hit count and check my stats constantly. The truth is that I don't want YOU to care about my numbers, but I totally care about about my numbers. A day with a good hit count and the cat is less likely to get kicked.

The biggest reality of these confessions, is that we are all human. We are all insecure in own silent ways that are never to be spoken of. We crave approval and attention from outside sources to keep us going.
I am a small fish in the open ocean.
I am a blogger and these are my confessions.
*Feel free to make my day an awesome one by commenting, subscribing to RSS feed, following me, tweeting this link, stumbling it or any other form of temporary ego boost you can throw my way.
