I See You

I see you, reader from New Berlin, Wisconsin, who comes here every day without fail.

Who are you? What are you up to right now? What is New Berlin like? In my head, it's like Lake Wobegon -- the place where we waited all day in the rain for you.

Are all the men of New Berlin good-looking? Are all of the women strong? Are all of the children above-average? You probably have no idea what I'm talking about unless you listen to Garrison Keillor. But you have to understand that this is how I picture New Berlin in my mind, for some reason.

And why don't you ever come visit my new home? I've got things over there for you, things that you might like. I've got a recipe for shrimp curry, a YouTube video of an old Polish man saying funny phrases, this cool poem that I heard and a rant about canola oil. You should really check it out some day.

It must be strange and somewhat depressing to come and visit the same page every day, only to see that nothing has changed there since August 30th, every single time. So I'm posting this for you, New Berlin, Wisconsin.

Or does the fact that the page never changes anymore provide you with some unfamiliar comfort that I've now ruined?

Whatever it is, I just hope that you're having a good day, New Berlin. Your faithfulness to this shady, little corner of the internet is astounding and heartening. Be seeing you...

Hello, from New Berlin Wisconsin.

I DO peek at your new home, I just haven't updated my bookmarks due to laziness; however, I will be doing that after this comment.

I came across your blog from Fark. I saw a picture of you, thought you were cute and enjoyed your ramblings, since they differ from my own.

I admit, I don't update nearly as often as you do, nor do my updates have as much length.

By the way, New Berlin is the next suburb of Milwaukee to my west. I'm actually in West Allis, but I'm guessing the cable node comes out of New Berlin.

Thanks for calling me out :)

the chad!

I'm so glad to know you! I'm sorry I haven't written sooner -- wedding-related shenanigans have kept me off the radar for the past few days or so. Thanks for "outing" yourself; that was hilarious and awesome and I'm so psyched that you did. It's really cool to finally meet (well "meet" in the looser sense of the word) someone who reads these ramblings. And a fellow Farker at that!

Keep reading and keep in touch, New Berlin (aka the chad)! :)
