Sketchy At Best's blog: "Captain's Log"

Do you know what that picture is above my blubbering nonsense? Sure, its a picture you need to click on and vote, but to me, its even more than that. Before that pic, I was a Fubar Ninja. Sure, I met some people, but would mostly vote on Mumms, rate some pics, and talk to the same few people that I met. Mind you, that was not a horrible existance. But because of PebblesinAZ, that pic has broadened my horizons. Her contest forced me to go out, and start asking for people to look at my picture, and rate it. I hate the fact that I'm begging, but I like the fact that each night, I send out between 100 and 200 links or messages, and the results are pretty much meaningless. Sure, I get some votes, but to be honest, I get about a 15% return. and about a 2% return of messsages from people telling me I'm a point whore. Thats ironic, because I get no points from this. But every night, I meet 3 or 4 people who actually like to chat in the shout boxes. That makes it all worth it. I have learned that helping other people is fun. I've seen some great pictures of places I'll never go. I've seen some hilarious pictures. Fat Sonny's midget file is absolutely hilarious! I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to finish in the top 3, I'm gonna keep trying though. So drop a vote if you would, tell a friend, but no matter where I finish, the door it opened has made it all worthwhile. Thanks for reading this, Jay
