Counter? I don't need no stinking counter!

I decided to take the counters down off both my journals.  (They weren't right any way they had gone haywire and had started over again.)  I have been thinking about this for a little while.  I go visit other journals and look at their "head count" and think, oh man, I will NEVER be THAT popular.  They get more comments on one entry than I get in visits in a WEEK.  Then I start to think, So What?  What is the big freaking deal?  Do I write for others? Not really.  I mean I do try to put my thoughts together in a more readable way than I used to.  But that's really about it. 

I am NOT a writer, and don't plan on becoming one -- hey, you guys that what to write, you NEED people like me to READ what you write. (I know that I personally helped Mr Stephen King amass the millions of dollars he has. Just to name one author that I help support!)

So, counters be gone!  I don't need you (the counters, not you may dear friends), and I don't need 25 comments to every entry I write (or to even just 1 entry in my entire journal! *hee hee*).  No, all I need is a place to put down what is going on in my little corner of the world, and if I can make a few e-friends in the process that's ok.  If my other journal can get people to stop and think at least once that is good also.

Ok, so I did leave the counter on my web site on where to go for journal help.  I did like to feel that IT IS being USED to help others.  And if it isn't, oh well, I use it myself from time to time.
