The most philosophic post title I’ve ever written, wasted on a blasted poll. While I try to come up with an even philosophical-er post title for future use, I would love to find out who’s reading this here ramblin’ mess of a blog. Will my results be as insightful as the pie chart above? That may not be possible. But we can try. I appreciate it! if you use an RSS reader (Google Reader, Bloglines, etc.) please click “view poll” to partake.

    I’ve been enjoying your blog for a while now, but usually through my blogreader and I have never (I don’t think?) commented. I’m not a big commenter anywhere anyway…

    I was, however, moved to comment by the hilarity of both your pie chart and your dismay at Title Wastefulness. Funny!!

    I personally like blogs that are “rambling messes” as you call it- variety keeps it interesting!

    Thanks for reading Boni. As much as I would like to take credit for the Meatloaf pie chart, that was created by a person far wiser than I. Some possible candidates for my more philosophical post title:
    “What Am I?”
    “What is the World Coming To?”
    and my frontrunner:
    “What is a Book, Really?”
