Looking for a pattern

Over the course of my free-time websurfing, I came across a link to a site that helps you track, among other things, your morale level on a daily basis. Being that mine has been a bit less-than-ideal for a longer than is probably healthy, I immediately jumped through the link to see what it was all about. It's called Morale-O-Meter and it's pretty simple, really. I like simple. Heck, since it has a place for notes it could almost be like a blog with the bonus of charts and graphs. I like charts and graphs. But you probably deduced that already. Anyway, I've going to see how long I can keep it updated daily. But since I've been doing a decidedly lackluster job keeping the blog up-to-date, the expectation is starting pretty low. Perhaps I'll stick to it long enough that I might be able to see some patterns day to day, week to week, and find a way to get out of this emotional muck, or e-muck, that I've been stuck in.

Speaking of pattens, I'm both fascinated and dumbfounded at how people come to find this blog on the interwebs. Really, it just makes me realize that maybe I should be more careful about how I title certain posts. Or not, since it's apparently bringing people to my blog. Then again I'm sure they're leaving just as quickly, and disappointedly, once discovering that they really haven't found what they were looking for. Honest to blog, no one is ever looking for this.

So here's just a few of the top Google search queries in December:

#1 - "don't cum in me" — probably linked to this post. "In"..."On"...close enough, yet so very different. This blog is for external use only. And yes, I realize that the very act of including this phrase in a post is just going to exacerbate the issue. Hey, I'm just happy I could spell "exacerbate" correctly without spellcheck!

#3 - "bedtimehigh" — a very hot site, that is if you like hot guys

#5 - "why can't we be friends" — ah, good times.

#9 - "that is one doodle that can't be undid homeskillet"Juno!

#13 - "deal with a straight guy who acts gay" — not sure how this ended up linking here. Maybe this post? Or this one? Though it's probably got the most in common with this one though even though it's only obvious to me.

#14 - "hair whorl gay" — maybe you should wear a hat

And as for what other sites people clicked through to get here, well, that's a little more tame (after stripping out all the google links)...

#1 no referring link - thank you all you direct accessers.

#2, 3, 9 - bedtimehigh.blogspot.com - yay! Thanks for the linkage, Mr. Darcy, you hot sexy thing you!

#14 - ask.com — this blog got linked in an image search for Bethany Hamilton, guessing it t'was to a pic on this post

#16 - bettyunderground.blogspot.com — I'm so lucky to score a link at Betty's site!

#20 - www.mideastpiece.com — A wonderful site that has since been retired, though you can continue to read all the previous entires. 10 points if you can find yours truly mentioned in one of the posts there. Wishing you the best, Matt and John, and hope to see you posting somewhere in the blogosphere soon.

And with that I wrap up my 2nd post of 2008. I know, I'm off to a miserable start, and not just bloggily. With any luck I'll be in a better head space soon and feel more motivated to write.

  1. Blogging is super duper good for eMotional muckiness! Very catharic. I can say this from experience because I have not done it in almost 2 days and am drowning in eMuck right now.
