Sunday

Though I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, today has been a very interesting day here at
Smoke and Mirrors.
I opened a browser this afternoon to see if anything was happening on my blog and *Kaaboom*
67
people were visiting.
Yeah, I like that but what the hell are they reading?
I clicked on my “Who’s Among Us” icon and my mind almost exploded.
The map for the US was actually glowing.
Oh, great, I thought, now I may be responsible for WW3 the way it looked.
Yes, it took my cheeno’s to Browntown.
Virtually everyone was reading THIS POST
There’s a party in my house and I wasn’t even invited?
I don’t get it.
My stats are absolutely off the wall.
Closing in on 1,000 hits for today.
I love the traffic but . . .
Just plain weird, folks, really frickin’ weird
For everyone that visited, one brave soul left a comment.
Ah, well . . .

    It took my cheenos to Browntown????
    I’ve never heard that. Did you just make that up?

    Got that phrase from my friends DownUnder.
    The Aussies are quite funny with their slang.
    Cheenos to Browntown sounded funnier that Shit my pants, ya know? ;)

    I love it when I get a big spike of traffic like that. Unfortunately it doesn’t happen all too often. Congrats! :D

    For you, Deb, it should happen more often.
    You are an awesome writer. :o(

    Weird huh?
    Ive been getting a lot of traffic for Kim Cattrall lately. Not bad, that gal is hot!
    I love that graffiti post!

    I still can’t figure it out, Red.
    I never have those kind of hits . . .

    While I check in every day, I don’t always have something clever to say. Your post to your daughter made me cry, your piece recently about your dad, helped give me the strength to say goodbye to a friend last week.

    Thanks for giving me the courage to tell him goodbye and that I loved him.

    People are finding you because they need to – thanks for giving me something to think about.


    Never feel you need to say something clever.
    A comment from the heart is way better anyday in my book.
    I do thank you for letting me know that in a small way, I’ve helped you.
    And please, keep checking in everyday. I love that. ;)

    Wow, that’s overwhelming. You’re a wanted man (I mean that in the nicest way!).

    I’ve had several traffic spikes but nothing even close to 1,000 hits.


    Same thing happened today.
    Can’t wait to see how long this goes for.
    Over 1,000 page views and 680+ unique visitors.
    Sheesh . . .

  • anonymum says:

    LMFAO @ Whyvonne!
    She could be right you know???
    :wink:
    Wicked stats!! How much will you take for them???

    I keep waiting for the blog to implode for God’s sake.
    Check the stats from today. They’re bloody ridiculous.
    Not complaining, just saying . . .
    Can you sell stats? Maybe I should try Ebay ;)

    It’s a weird feeling, isn’t it?

    Congrats on the hits! You totally deserve every visitor you’re getting. It’s about time! :)


    Weird doesn’t even begin to explain it.
    It’s all good though.
    Do me a flavor, would you?
    Puuuhleese change my link!
    Thanks, D

  • teeni says:

    Sounds like you got stumbled or something. Lots of lookers but hardly any takers. ;) They have lots to see and move on quickly, I guess.


    Ah, the trials and tribulations of a *stumble.
    I’ll take it anyway. ;)

    It is a pretty cool post though Michael, and well, you’re a pretty cool guy, so, yeah, that explains all that in a nutshell really, anything else I can help you with? ;)

    You guys make me puff my feathers way too much. ;)
    Thanks, S
