Been thinking

and I'm seriously considering getting rid of my visit counter on the bottom of my blog. Its just depressing to look at. Though I do admit a certain thrill when I see the number go up by one. Then again, that is quickly followed by shame as I realize that I brought the count up by continuing to check to see if I have new comments. Or to see if the counter went up. Which it does, but only because I keep checking. You see what a vicious cycle this has become?
