Well not really.  But I was looking today at all the countries from which I’ve gotten hits on my website, and I was totally blown away by all the random places where people have visited my site from.  Canada, Australia and the UK make sense; I’ve got a decent amount of friends in those places.  Same goes for Argentina, Spain, Sweden, Ireland, Italy, Israel and a host of other places.  But the shit that impressed me was all the totally unexpected places.  South Korea?  Yup.  Kuwait?  Affirmative.  Turkey and the United Arab Emirates?  Check and check.  I even got one hit from Oman bitches!  Shit, I might even do my next book there.  Broke-Ass Stuart’s Guide to Living as an Oil Magnate in Oman.  Has a nice ring to it doesn’t it?

But unfortunately, not a single hit from Japan….*sigh*.  All I wanted was to be able to say that I was big in Japan.  If I was, I’d sing that Tom Waits song every fucking day.
