As Sumner sees it: A Mile Stone Reached

A Mile Stone Reached

Just today
One thousand views
that many people
to enlighten and abuse

with my senseless rants
and pathetic ryhmes
that tell you about
my trying times

I act as if
you want to read
the heart on my sleeve
that will occassionally bleed

I want to share
all that I think
and tell of my sanity
as I live on the brink

It's really cathartic
this blog of mine
it's makes me feel
like I'm doing fine

Just living life
and trying to grow
despite the skeletons
I reluctantly show

My intent is good
no harm I mean
so please forgive
If I appear obscene

I want to be
this guy I'm not
so I work on flaws
and give it a shot

the stuff you read
and see on here
are some of my dreams
and a touch of my fears

I have this notion
that I can change
my circumstances
to rearrange

So I post on here
and you sometimes look
as if my life
is an open book

My tongue gets tied
and this blog frees it
So please read on
AS Sumner Sees it.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to check me out. It really means alot and gives me hope in believing what I think is worth sharing. Thanks for giving me One Thousand Views.

THANKS TO ALL WHO TOOK THE TIME

Today, February 10, 2012, was the day my Blog, "As Sumner Sees It", hit 1000 views. I had no idea it would ever reach that point, let alone so soon. I see it as a blessing and an opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to check me out. With out you I would be but a lone voice in the wilderness.

Now it is April 18, 2013. Today, I have 3333 views as I type. The readers have spanned the globe from Russia to Singapore. I have many posts and to show how so many get their share of readers I believe my most popular post has but 50 to 60 views. So, it appears I appeal to many in many different ways. Perhaps. I can only assume and boost my ego with speculation. Why not? Actually it is probably more in the middle. Some read and quit before they finish wondering why they bothered. Others read and think me some mental wave rider worth their time. Still, more are most likely neither inspired nor offended. They just want to see what I threw out this time. It doesn't matter to me. I am grateful for it all. This kind of expression. This sharing of my thoughts and where it takes me is my passion. If only it resulted in a livelihood I would be totally in my bliss. But I will settle for what I have and my thanks goes to you who read my efforts because it is but a therapy session without you. Please comment if it moves you. Your input tells me I'm doing something out there.

Be safe. Be open. Be excited. Life is something to cherish and it is our way of respecting those who no longer walk the earth by living it to it's fullest.

One Big Favor I Ask Of The Reader

I share these posts for all to read and ponder. The one thing I crave from all of this is your feedback. I am but a scream in the wilderness if I post and know nothing of the opinions others have on my thoughts. I know it sounds so narcissistic but it is true that I enjoy comments, be it good, bad, constructive, destructive, or apathetic. I will take each and respect every one with the understanding that your time is valuable and you took some of it to spend with me. Thanks for that above all.
