If there's one thing I don't need more of, it's anxiety. God knows the hours of drinking coffee in the sun can get stressful. And... A video from the boat might be the best idea ever. Thanks!

Seriously, huge thanks for putting Muselife on here. I'll be working my ass off in 2010 to keep your anxiety to a minimum via cranking out more regular content. We need to do a video from your boat. Seriously. I'm game if you are. Andrew, god I'm so behind the game on thank-you's right now. Seriously, huge thanks for putting Muselife on here.

The missing paragraph has been added in the last few minutes.

I decided to give it a little time to set in because I'm pretty sure you took me from A1 to C1 in four paragraphs and I wasn't thinking clearly.Since I posted this, I've had more than one conversation about the sorts of posts/bloggers you and I love to hate. That damned advice about guest posts being the best way to get traffic amplifies the situation. The same person gets to post the same drivel on their own blog and soil a bunch of others. Thanks!Seriously, thanks for this comment. With the popularity of some of the blogs in question, it's nice to know I'm not judging too harshly.

In fact, I have erased and rewritten this exact sentence about sixteen times now because all my other attempts came across sounding super creepy and lustful towards you. That's what your writing does to me, if that clears anything up.While every other post you've put up has made me cry out in joy over (finally!) signs of personality and opinions in the "traveling and Lifestyle Design" blog world (I hate using the phrase Lifestyle Design), just the first two sentences alone in this post had me celebrating in the streets, hooting and hollering and firing guns in the air. I absolutely hate inexperienced bloggers writing about stuff they know nothing about because they read it on someone else's blog. I then get double-pissed when I read comments from other lame bloggers who stroke the authors' dong while, really, their only goal was placing a link in their comment back to their own boring, re-hashed junk blog, and really they don't care at all about the content. Ask the West Coast guy from your "favorite blogs" list up above - I've ranted to him about this, on average, twice a day for the last two months.I'll be honest, most of the blogs I subscribe to, I read for practical advice they give (and none are amateur "self-improvement" blogs, I swear). Yours is the only one that I read specifically because your opinions and perspective are interesting. I really normally hate blogs that take interesting views on common topics because, honestly, they're usually really boring, but you are (so far) the exception in my RSS reader.I'm done for now. I really don't post like this on every guy's blog, I swear. Long story short, I just wanted to let you know, "Cool post, bro!" I have been a lurking reader of your blog for a little bit now.
