The post to end January, possibly the blog

So, the end of the first month of the year. It's been a busy one, and I'm sure February will be pretty ridiculous as well. It will be over before you know it, as we are all looking forward to March. Of course, you would not know anything about my life by the contents of this blog, which I've posted to once or twice this past month, if that. I've not been able to finish the entries I've bothered to start. For that matter, I'm not writing in my personal journal very much, either. I have exactly one entry in my 2007 folder, and it was written on New Year's Day when once again I told myself I'd keep some sort of a diary. 30 days later, I'm not really surprised. I've lost the interest and the energy to put words together. I think part of that is the creation of this blog. I used to write. Really. I really did.

David Cross answers negative blog review

I've noticed more people involved in stories are jumping into the comments sections where they've been quoted or negatively reviewed. Recently Mark Cuban responded to a Lost Remote posting where his comments on YouTube had been posted. Today, I came across David Cross responding to a negative review of one of his events in San Francisco . And finally, Ken Jennings shows up in a TVSquad comment section where a couple of folks had said his opinion didn't matter. And then, he shows up. Is this cool, or creepy? I'd have to say kind of cool. In all three cases, the "celebrities" enter into the fray to defend themselves. In David Cross's case, he begins into the debate of whether or not his jokes about Mormons made him a bigot. It's interesting, and very much distracting me from work.
