THOUGHTS OF YOU....

You night have already picked this up from elsewhere.

One of my favourite blogs - Pretending Life Is Like A Song - is, for the time being at least, no more. Adam, probably better known as Crash Calloway, has decided to call it a day while he spends some time sorting out issues in his real life as opposed to his cyber life.

When TVV was but a germ of an idea in my head, there were three other bloggers out there who gave me inspiration and the courage to pop my head above the parapet. They were Comrade Colin (now responsible for And Before The First Kiss), Fil (Pogo-A-Go-Go) and Adam. I owe these guys a lot.....

Davie from The Ghost Of Electricity has put it in a way that I can't better, so I'm plagiarising from him:-

"PLILAS was one of the first UK mp3 blogs I ever came across.

By dropping in there regularly from here I guess I showed up on Adam's web stats, and he worked back along the trail to find me and to leave the first comment I ever got. He kindly linked to me, and then others started calling in too. This is how it works, and this is how bit by bit we've ended up with this lovely extended network, with lovely new people joining all the time.

I'm conscious that there's serious 'disappearing up one's own arse' potential in blogging about other bloggers - I can certainly remember thinking when I first had a punt at this that all the cool bloggers were bezzies and that they wouldn't let someone like me play (I was wrong) - so I'll be brief: when it comes down to it, what we are doing here is the oldest thing human beings have ever done; we are reaching out to each other, saying hello and making friends.

It beats all the alternatives I've heard about.

Take care Adam."

I'll second that emotion.

And in case, you ever wondered where the name of Adam's blog came from:-

mp3 : The Wannadies - Might Be Stars

And thanks to all of you for allowing me to be a bit self-indulgent this morning.....
