there's something a bit undignified about "blegging"! just kidding, i'm sure the comments make it more interesting. hint: if you want people to comment, write something worthy of comment, like throw in something political every once in a while. that might only happen when the focus of your site shifts from being about peace corps/samoa to your general worldview. just a thought.
Dude, I read your shit! My buddy just joined up with you all in group 70 - he is the RPCV from the Philippines. A bunch of us RPCVs from the Philippines be following your wacky, dog-filled adventures to see what you all be up to. All in all, a great site telling the honest truth about the wonderful, nothingness which is Peace Corps . . . keep up the meaningless work which makes us smile :)
So you want a comment? Comment about what? About how people never leave comments and they should? Perhaps if you threw in a question about what people thought about aparticualr entry or asked for smiilar experiences they would feel as though it would be appropriate to comment or want to throw there 2 cents in. I have the same problem, but I just don't give a fuck! Now stop blogging and get to work. What kind of volunteer has enough time to maintain a blog anyway?
How about a comment discussing my inability to type a god damned sentence without mispelling something!!!
Ursula led me to your Blog. This is first day I've read it. Very cool. I'm adding you to my Blogroll.
Comments are hard to solicit. I'm getting about 100 hits/day and only about 5 comments per week. Usually, it's my friends commenting on what a moron I am.
I'm enjoying the site immensely, especially considering I will be joining your motley crew in Samoa with Group 71 in October...until then.
I've managed to save up roughly $36355 in my bank account, but I'm not sure if I should buy a house or not. Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?
Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (sign out)

Great site. Don't be discouraged with the lack of comments. Many of my readers visit often but never leave a comment. I wonder about who these people are, but I really can't force them to comment or even tell me about themselves. Unless they have a blog, in many respects it's a one way street. So hang in there. Really loving the pictures in your photo galleries.
