Ok... So I added a couple of features to my blog recently to aid in tracking my following. Yes, yes... I know. It's a stretch to say that I have a following - a little narcissistic and hopeful. Anywho... I have added the features to promote interaction between you ("The Readers") and me ("The writer") and as of yet I have seen little to no interaction.
Some of you have started to post a pin up on my little Frappr Map that I put on the sidebar. It's cool and I know that most of you don't have the time to read the posts that I leave and only want to look at pretty pictures. Therefore I have seen some people toying with that feature but not nearly enough. I mean, I've had like 1 billion Brits on my tours and I think about three are representing... weak sauce! Where are my Italians, where are my Africans, where are my Kyrgyztanis? Most importantly... where are my fellow Americans? Comeon people.... stop watching "Dancing with the Stars" and get off your ass and give me some love! It's a stretch to call Joey Lawrence a star and who wants to see his bald ass dance anyways. Now if it was "Boxing with the Stars" and it was a cage match between the ugly younger brother from "Growing Pains" and Cheri from "Punky Brewster" I'd be sitting next to you betting on the spread, but Slater & Mario Van Peebles... c'mon. So give me some love and pop a pin on my map.
Also... I know that people have been here. I slyly posted a counter to let me know how many people are in and out. And since I added that handy feature on Dec. 31st I have had 306 hits... that's like 20 everyday! But how many comments? Two... and both from Fitz. And I think that's because I am the only one leaving him comments on his blog so he has to reciprocate. C'mon people. Show the love... if you're gonna read it leave me a little shout out! I don't know if it's my friends reading this blog or a bunch of Taiwanese school children who did a google search for: "Mexi-hippie", "Crazy", "Beard", "Coconut", "Travel" and end up with this page. So if you come... leave me something... I'll like you more, I promise.
I'm done yelling... You can go back to "Dancing with the Stars" now.

Trekkin Dave-
I concur on your "philosophy" of commentary. I think is has become far to easy for people to use computer literacy as an excuse. Probably because our brains lack the important saturday morning commercial scare tactics they are feeding the children today. I am sure it is something like a computer hanging around in a tree saying in a hip hop rythm "If you dont be learnin to use me, you might just fall out of the tree"
I concur with your idea and will proceed from my end.
Perhaps you can pos my link http://trekwithfitz.blogspot.com on your front page like I have yours. You appear to be getting hits from some of my pirates and I am sure your peeps would love to see a guy who thinks he is a pirates photos and jib jab.

Hola Dave! Dig your blog, muy interesante. Sounds like my life, only I don't drive. You should give the public bus a try. Surely you'd have some adventures to report of smelly seatmates and taxi drivers trying to rip you off. Suerte y nos vemos amigo!
pura vida,
Dawna
