I’m sorry, but you’ll have to tune in on Tuesday for my Oscar Party details.
Sheesh – you’re so demanding! I was up watching the show till the wee hours. Do you people want a quality post or not? Okay then. You’ll just have to wait. It will be worth it. There will be pictures. I’m just saying.

Blogging can be hard work.
It’s often difficult to come up with something witty or meaningful day after day. You can get easily discouraged. Sometimes you wonder “is it really worth it?” or “what the heck am I trying to accomplish here?” sometimes even “should I go on?”
But then you get a comment. A comment from one of your Readers like this one I received the other day;
“i very adore all your writing style, very useful. don’t quit and also keep penning due to the fact it simply just good worth to read it, looking forward to looked over a whole lot more of your current web content, goodbye!”
And suddenly . . . it’s all worth it again.
Thank you Asian Spammer. You’ve given me, and probably the thousands of other Bloggers you sent this same message to, a reason to go on.
Thank you.

When someone who obviously has such a magnificent grasp on the English language and correct grammar enjoys your writing style, you know you’re a class act.
Looking forward to your Oscar party review.

hahahahaha…. even though it doesn’t read very fluidly, its good intent is evident. you, my friend, should “keep penning due to the fact it simply just good worth to read it.” ABSOLUTELY. I totally agree.

Ahahahaha! That’s brilliant.
I only hope he shows up on my blog during my deepest darkest hours.

You know what I like about that? The firm farewell: “goodbye!” How many times have I commented and hit Publish, only to scream five seconds later, “I NEVER SAID GOODBYE!”

Yes – I agree. We should all start doing that more often, no? I think it would be a nice, polite touch. Or not.

HEY! At least you can READ your Asian spammer’s comment!! Mine? In Asian characters! I have no idea…
And last week when I made some comment about how Tempe needed to man-up and get parking meters that accepted credit card machines…I got spammed by a credit card-accepting parking meter company! And they didn’t have anything nice to say about my writing…just that your parking meter could pay itself back in less than 6 months. I’d say you got the WAY better end of the deal. And DEFINITELY keep writing…like on that Oscar post. I’m drooling in anticipation.
