Harder than I thought

that's what she said.

seriously, i just spent about an hour trying to figure out how to put a counter at the bottom of this page. i wanted to see if there is anyone out there actually reading my random thoughts, you know, find out if i have a fan base of some sort. no pressure to come back here, i can live with a failed blog if need be. but really, i did not think this would not take nearly as long as it did. i can design freeking web surveys with all sorts of bells and whistles in html for crying outloud. but could not handle finding a "gadget". oh well.
