Expectations (2) Monday, Oct 3, 2005 4:12 pm

I sorta don't like when people find out about my website because then I feel like I have to live up to their expectations with the things I write.  If they're expecting funny things, I feel like I need to think of funny things.  Or if ... [fill in the blank; I don't know what people expect].  I'm sure people are bored when I write about Christian things, but I won't stop doing that.  And I bet some people are surprised at how negative I can be.  Or maybe they're not surprised.  [The thing to remember is that everything's a joke.] 

But if I really didn't want people to see the things I write, I wouldn't publish a website, something that's available to the population of the entire somewhat modern world.  And I also wouldn't include names and keywords that are sure to increase traffic to my site. 

So if you have expectations for my site, try to lower them a little bit.  Don't expect anything groundbreaking or amazing.  A wise person once uttered, "The road to happiness is paved with low expectations."  Depressing quote, but the idea is that if you expect a lot, you'll be disappointed.  If you expect a little, you might be pleasantly surprised.  Or not.  Stupid wise person.  [Actually, it was Grishma Rana.  I'm not saying she's stupid.  I'm just adding her name in here as another searchable term.  Like all people I reference, I wonder if she reads my site?  Better yet, I wonder how long it'll take before she reads my site?]

Hey, I found it (finally!) :-)  I was bored and did a google search on my name tonight and found a link on your site!  Wow, that's definitely a nice quote from a stupid wise person.  That's still my motto-- it keeps me happy and sane.  I like your site btw.  I think I'll check back ocassionally, and don't worry I'll keep my expectations low.

Cheers,
Grishma

"I wonder how long it'll take before she reads my site?"

Answer:  2 years, 1 month.

Hello
Hi, my name is Dave Hosier, and this website is where I write my unfounded opinions on trivial matters. Feel free to look around, but please refrain from reading anything.
