Yeah, About This Blog Thing
Dearest Reader,
How have you been? You look lovely this evening. I love the way the light from the monitor glistens in your eyes. I’ve really missed you. Stand up. Let me take a good look at you. Wow! You look amazing. Do you want some coffee? Hang on. Here you go. Careful, it’s really hot — and so are you. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Sit down, make yourself comfortable. I want to talk to you.
I’m sorry I haven’t written to you in a while and stopped returning your calls, emails, and comments. I could just say that I’ve been busy, but that’s a lame excuse — and untrue because I always have time for the ones I care about. The truth is, I thought we could use some time apart. I know it was cold of me to disappear like that.
Every since my blog… sorry, our blog started I’ve been lukewarm towards the idea. I’ve thought about ending it many times. In our time apart, I’ve had a lot of time to think. I decided that if I’m going to continue doing this, things need to change.
I don’t want to bore you with pointless posts about what I’ve been doing. Posts like how I saw Gogol Bordello in Montpelier and it was one of the greatest shows I’ve ever seen, that I’m going to Le Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in Montréal, or that the other Scott Wild I wrote about contacted me (my foot is firmly planted in my mouth as usual) and asked when are we going to start our design agency. No, I don’t want do that. I want to do something that’s more interesting — for both of us.
I don’t want to write about such things because when we talk and I tell you what I’ve been doing, you usually already know because you read about it here. That, and I don’t want the people I don’t talk to knowing what I’m up to.
I have a few ideas, but I’m open to suggestions and would love to hear what you think. If you have a moment, please tell me what you like and/or dislike about this blog — email, call, fax, telegram, scribble on a napkin and leave it under my doormat, or whatever.
Sincerely,
S.R. Wild
P.S. I’ve heard that you’ve been reading other blogs. I’m OK with that. To be honest, so have I. We all have needs that must be attended to.

Dear Mr. Wild,
I can’t tell you how relieved I am to finally get this out in the open. It’s been weighing heavily on my mind as of late. Though I cannot speak for all your faithful readers, I for one have felt your growing reticence toward this relationship. Though absence makes the heart grow fonder, this, like all bonds, must be nurtured. Without the care and attention of both parties, the distance is just too great to overcome. That said, I don’t want to end this and I’m so glad to hear that you’re willing to work it out. Perhaps if we focused more on our common interests – art, random objects found on the street, junk store scores, DIY projects, human anomalies and oddities of the world – we could find our way back to where we used to be. Your… sorry, our blog means so much to me. I’d hate to see it end.
Yours,
LEH Little
