It’s nice to learn new things and hear different viewpoints but still find some common ground. So I am drawn to blogs where I have something in common with the author, but they are not a complete replica of me…not too difficult since there aren’t many quirky redheads who work for sweet potato companies.

Yeah, and humor is pretty much a must for me.

I am watching Hamlet right now (the movie, the play).

Watch your dadgum language, mKhulu. It’s easy when you write. I can’t remember any cuss words in isiZulu…oh, wait. Yes I can. I joke of course. Say what you willl…you are the master.

Ennis P- Readability is nice. To be preferred even unto brevity? Eh, Andrew.

And Andrew, quit tryig to dominate just because yesterday was Dominion Day.

Joshua Duncan –I’m glad you got the message. It is all about you.

It’s odd that when we take aim at ourselves, we strike many other marks. You should know this as a preacher and a writer.

I’m going to be the voice in the wilderness and say that, while I think you’re spot on with the viewpoint comment, I’m not sure brevity is as important as a judicious use of words. I’d rather read a well written, 1500 word post than a poorly written 250 word post. The blogs I visit routinely are a reflection of that. Some of the guys I visit every day have never had a post under 500 words. But if they’re important words, I’ll read ‘em.

But, then, this comment is now longer than the post, so I guess I’ve long scared off anyone who loves brevity.

So are you saying my long, whiny posts about the uncertainty in my life are not the most attractive blog-fodder? Or is it just that I’ll update two or three times over a couple of days and then not do it again for a month?

Things to ponder . . .

This comment is brief-
This comment is homorus- humoresque at least.
