fyi

there is a statcounter on this blog. statcounters record your ip address, location, what you click on, download (click on a photo to view), etc. the reason i put this on my blog 2+ years after i started it was to see if anyone actually looks at it, what part of the planet they are from, etc... it was pretty entertaining to find out what people google search to have this blog come up as a search result... since the name of the blog "the gay ocean" or "dr. gay panda" has nothing to do with homosexuals, some pretty entertaining things come up. so there has been some entertainment from the stats themselves. it's interesting to see what people are interested in that i post... it also came in handy when someone felt the need to post comments that were offensive based on a friendship with someone that i had issues with... yah ok if you want to go that far, they're just going to get deleted so why waste your time?

i've noticed in the past few days, however, that a few people go directly to the negative stuff. based on location, and what they click on, i can pretty much guarantee they didn't find the blog on their own.

i want to point out that there are over 2 years of positive posts on this blog. places i've gone, people i've met, things i've found and want to share. despite what some people might think or feel, i am not always a negative person. yes i can be shitty. but aren't we all?

now i've known for a long time that people LOVE negativity. i don't care if you claim you are a positive person, claim that you don't care what other people think or feel, we all secretly know we do care and aren't always positive... it's like watching an accident. you can't look away.

but i'm asking that you explore other things, not focus on the negative. blogs are kind of like open diaries people either read or they don't...


but remember, there would be no positive without negative.
