My internet stalking skills have been taken to new heights.
It has been 12 years since my last confession.
I have added a lovely feature to my blog that allows me to track visitors. I can tell from whence they came, how long they perused my truths, and what prompted such a visit. I’ve found this to be exciting, ego-boosting, and hilarious, as it is quite interesting to see how people all over the world have stumbled upon this page. Some of searches that are likely to lead you to Sojo:
1. If you're in Malaysia ask Google: what to do if my cat is in mating season
2. Go to Yahoo! And look up “black greeks soundz”—clearly this got someone to my post on my favorite bar, SOUNDZ, and probably something on the fedora-wearing, fur shrug-giving Greek loser.
3. If you’re looking for a gay men diary blog, the blacktress is your best bet.
4. Someone somewhere searched the phrase no love for hos-- I mean, who does have love for hos? Not this blacktress!
5. My new favorite came today, from someone in NYC. They were on Google searching the following: wifey which one are you urban poems.
The thing is, I use the word wifey sparingly and Sojo doesn't even appear on the first page of the Google search. This implies that someone perused the offerings available and said to him/her/hirself, "Hmm....Diary of a Mad Blacktress....that sounds like a place where I could get some urban poems." They were probably sorely disappointed to find that my only urban poem is an "Ode to Harry Potter."
Random search phrases aside, I have also noticed another interesting pattern among visitors. Someone in Sydney, Australia, has been reading my blog on a daily basis. Who could it be????? Could it be the man who inspired this post? I only know two people located in that city, and I doubt the other one has such daily blogging time available, the way a web designer would.
This is intriguing and I'm haunted with unknowing. So I write this post, in an attempt to draw my Australian reader out--smoke him/her out of her hole, as GW would say.
Show yourself, Australian. Leave a comment, show some love, send me a kebab--or a kangaroo.
Sojourner knows you're out there.

Um, that's probably me. Your posts crack my shit up, and I sent a link to a friend who might be reading as well.
I'm not a web designer though. Just a slacker.
