What If Noone Reads Your Blog?

Marketing giant Seth Godin mused today about the ramifications of blogging without an audience. I wonder, though, as a non-business blogger (at least on this blog) if it's okay to not have an audience... it makes it feel more personal to me, because I'm writing for myself, not for the people reading my posts and random musings. Thoughts?

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yep, that's right, I'm another year older. In fact, I've just entered my 30s. Some say that the thirties are the new twenties. Some say that turning thirty is even worse than people make it out to be. I don't know which one is true, so I'm going to go with the optimistic side: welcome to the prime of my life. Stay tuned: it should be a great ride!

Working Downtown...

Lately, I've been made keenly aware of my surroundings as I observe the hustle and bustle of downtown Seattle. One recent incident hits particularly close to home for me, as it occurred a few blocks from where I work and from my bus stop. A completely random and sensless attack, but it makes me think that I need to be aware of my surroundings.

In the past week, I've also had homeless people bark at people as they pass on the street in an attempt to get money, and have witnessed another homeless person proclaiming that people "hated his race" because they chose to not put money in his coffee cup.

What's going on on the streets of Seattle, folks? Have we lost our compassion as well as our sense of humanity? Why has it come down to barking, lighting people on fire, and yelling for our homeless?
