Make them "heal"!
Let's start with a comment I just left at Don Watkins' blog: OK you flattered me, so now I get to tell the truth!I would be selfish in the extreme if I did not take this opportunity to say something which has been on my mind. It concerns the subject of abandoned blogs. I am a little sensitive about losing friends, doubtless because I lost so many of them to AIDS. But here in the blogosphere, I have to say that despite my kvetching about ill will, incivility, and yes, even outright bigotry, the worst thing I have had to witness is the death of blogs I have enjoyed. Sketches of Strain is one example of a blog which touched my life, then died. I got that awful, sinking feeling I know so well, and.... What has this to do with Don Watkins? Well, as I said in my comment, when I was at a critical point in blogging, he helped me decide to never quit. And not long ago, he was able to move the mighty Rachel Lucas -- to the point where she laughed for a full fifteen minutes and then pronounced him her favorite blogger. But now even Rachel Lucas has succumbed to that dread disease of blog doldrums. Day after day, I keep checking back and I read this: Just in case anyone is actually still coming by (at last check, I'm still getting about 1,300 hits a day for some bizarre reason even though this blog sucks now and we all know it)....Come on Don, I wanna see some magic! Some real, Lazarus-style laying on of hands! If you can lift up the mighty Rachel Lucas, you will be the greatest healer of the blogosphere. All the world will pay homage to you! Dvorak will have to eat his mean-spirited, petty words. You will succeed beyond your wildest dreams. You can do it, Don! All I have to offer are blood, sweat, and tears. And. pictures....
Now where do you suppose I got that idea? posted by Eric on 11.22.03 at 11:21 AM |

i love Rachel Lucas, but her blog has gone to the dogs. ha! ha! Maybe we could persuade Santorum to share some of his man-and-dog pictures with us. har! har!
By the way, I wish Rachel would put her picture of herself back on there. She's good-looking. I don't like that kid picture. I don't like pictures of children, they only serve to remind me of why I don't have any. And, by the way, I hate to say it, but I also don't like that picture of Al Sharpton. There are a lot better-looking Negro men (and women).
