I don't really think a whole lot about what I'm going to say before I write it down in my blog myself, so a lot of the time... I start to wonder whether people will think I'm an idiot for the way that my words tend to come out, but then again, I have to think that I'm not trying to write or sell a novel here... and my brain often goes on the "cd shuffle" so my thoughts are often all over the place rather than well-organized :) Keep it up though!! We love hearing your thoughts. Hey buddy,

I think you've got a great style - and great things to say. I am perpetually amazed at how mean - and rude - people have the capacity to be (as illustrated so beautifully by Anonymous). I just have to cling to the hope that, eventually, all things work together for good. Rick Hey Tony -

You write from the heart...plain and simple...what a nice gift you have. I have always enjoyed reading your blog simply because you can tell a good story. Forget those people who always have to find something negative...it takes all kinds to make this world spin. Keep up the good work and always realize you have a large 'inner circle' of cyber friends for support!! You’ve done it again!!! You write from the heart…plain and simple…what a nice gift you have.

Who did this jerk think they were? I agree everyone should and does, have their own opinions on things. They should. That's what makes blogging fun. But, at least put your name on it. Be real. I'll admit that the "Sam and Jack" entry was a bit over my head. That doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy it. I didn't comment. I didn't feel the need to. But if I had had something negetive to say about it, I would have done so, and put my name on it. I think you are a very interesting person, Tony. I think other interesting people are attracted to you and your style of writing. Be well and enjoy these fantastic summer days!

Tony, you're going to have to develop a thick skin about assholes like that. So long as you (ahem..) expose yourself in public with a forum like this, you'll always attract the cowardly fools with the cheap shots. Ignore them. I have told you that you have immense talent for the written word, and that should be enough for you. After all, am I not perfect and all knowing? well anyway... your blog entries are always interesting, fun, and thought provoking. What more can a reader ask for? I will tell you that I have read a number of other blogs, who i will not name, but I never go back to them for a second read because they are just ordinary. so there. wow! an online troll! wow!! whodathunk?!?!

If you like it...have more of it but don't sell yourself short. You've obviously have shit loads more talent than you let on about. So you got your first flamer [and I'm not talking about me] a douche bag that can type comments. Now isn't that novel? And the Anonymous tag is such a pitiful way of showing you've got no guts to have a real dialog. Well hon you're not alone with that. But I will say that I agree that most everyone out here is extremely caring, incredibly intelligent and most of all...here when you need them. Ciao for now kid, k p.s. Thesaurus? I do one better...I keep MS Word open so I can check my spelling before I post my comments so my blogger buddies don't think I'm a gorilla with a keyboard :) You are the most important part of your life’s equation.

There are actually others who are on your side. Others who are cheering you on. Others who want only the best for you. These are the ones who support you in a quiet way. The ones who don't necessarily shine brightly, but steady. They are the ones who are still. Not noticed. Dependable. Only wishing for the slightest acknowledgement from the one that they admire. Give them that, while you can.

However, I've found a lot of lurkers who often project traits unto blogs they read based on their own desires/issues. Of course, when you suddenly post something that shatters that image, they tend to lash out. Don't sweat it T. The rest of your readers are still here and support you 100%. You keep on blogging for you man! Anyone w/a spine would have included their name & email.

I believe that most people who take the time to read blogs are pretty sincere. But then, as in all aspects of life, there are exceptions. Anonymous cowards can have a positive effect on all of us by showing us how NOT to act. They are very good and proficient teachers. Use them for what they are. Then let them go. Back into their own private hell. Nice post Tony. I believe that most people who take the time to read blogs are pretty sincere. But then, as in all aspects of life, there are exceptions.

I'm discovering how great social interaction can be, so, from a former happy loner, you can try it in spurts if you want. Go slow. :-) Glad to hear that things at work are calm for now. Did you go see the movie this weekend? Glad to see you’re feeling the love. I’m discovering how great social interaction can be, so, from a former happy loner, you can try it in spurts if you want.
