But I was smacked upside the head with a reminder today when I saw a strangely familiar name sitting atop the Blogs of Note sidebar...<br /><br />I guess there's no way I'm going to be absentminded about your blog anymore! Certainly not when it's the talk of the town, you rascal. I think it's safe to say that your blog has been a roaring success, eh?<br /><br />Hey, this is kind of like an award for a Ward, right? Sorry, I couldn't help myself there. Hope you have fun with your newfound celebrity!RetroFuturisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12487779235963285231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1106539783205763722005-01-23T20:09:00.000-08:002005-01-23T20:09:00.000-08:00That is totally crazy that soooo many people would...That is totally crazy that soooo many people would check out one site. This is my first time ever using blog. I had to register for it for a class that I am taking. Your post was the first one that I read and at first I thought that blogging was gonna be a drag, but now I have found that it might just be ok. Well, congradulations!!it's just mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681253778119246719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1106474823405118662005-01-23T02:07:00.000-08:002005-01-23T02:07:00.000-08:00If anyone thinks that I am showboating here, then ...If anyone thinks that I am showboating here, then you have it wrong. Dead wrong. If anything, I am a very modest and humble man. I always give credit where credit is due and I try my best to not get a big-head about anything. Just check out my other posts, if you don't believe me. I am a very grateful man, and I will thank endlessly anyone who I feel has greatly influenced me or has given me support in any possible way. <br /><br />Being a blogger yourself, Preacher (a title that you have given yourself, apparently), you then understand the situation that I'm going through here. To even start a blog is already a pretty self-centered action to a certain degree, and thus when a fluke like what happened to me crashes into your blogging world, you can't help but take note. I am just letting my peeps know what was going on. That's all. <br /><br />And on a side note, this is for everyone who are commenting on The Ward-O-Matic: If you post a comment on this blog for no apparent reason other than to post a link to your website or blog, then I will delete said comment. If there is no merit connecting to what has been said on The Ward-O-Matic, then I reserve the right to delete it promptly. Also, any offensive or rude language is unacceptable either. (And I will use judgment on this matter, as well.) I am allowed to do this because, after all, it is my blog. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the comments and the accolades, people. I really appreciate it!Ward Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013085293679968596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1106441337312906832005-01-22T16:48:00.000-08:002005-01-22T16:48:00.000-08:00Amazing story.

Its amazing how ideas get seeded and spread so fast on "the internets". Maybe your Polar Express posts actually made it to Zemeckis himself over his morning coffee. Think about that, huh?

I pride myself on having superb spelling skills and am often called upon to proof each entry. however, I am extremely busy raising two small children these days and not always able to scan each entry. before you call me out on the lack of proper capitalization in this comment, you should know that I am holding a baby in one arm while typing with the other. desperate circumstances earn me the right to break some rules from time to time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1106352480411633382005-01-21T16:08:00.000-08:002005-01-21T16:08:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.James Cradithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683591611127043469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1106343404027870592005-01-21T13:36:00.000-08:002005-01-21T13:36:00.000-08:00Well, to tell you the truth I would be happy if bl...Well, to tell you the truth I would be happy if blogger would just list my weblog on their update page. I'm not sure why it doesn't, but it doesn't, even though I set it to show up on the page! Maybe they just don't like my blog or something... And, no, I'm not talking about my bloghorn blog(s)...
