Oh how the mighty have fallen.....

....curse you NZ Bear!! I went from 33 to 83 in a matter of two weeks? Ouch.

I have always been taught that you either humble yourself or you will be humbled. I have been humbled.

To be honest, I never understood how I rocketed to the top so quickly. Last month, for a time, the TTLB Ecosystem was showing that 100+ new unique links to the Jawa were being added each day. I knew there was an error. Still, I enjoyed the lie while it lasted.

I now know what it is like to be Milli and/or Vanilli. Trust me, it sucks. Oh the fame is great. And there's the chicks, don't forget the chicks. Ok, so there's no chicks. But how about all the begs for link plugs? When your three slots away from Mortal Human status you get a ton of requests. It's almost like spam.

So, the Jawa Report returns to earth. Yes, we're still in the top 100 out of tens of thousands of active blogs, but it just doesn't feel the same.

And my dream of mounting Wonkette? Not gonna happen in this lifetime. At least, not as long as adolescent males find a redhead's allusions to anal sex titilating.

Question: Now that Rusty has been brought down to earth and is forced into keeping it real---should we go back to the My Pet Jawa name??? What about Jawa Pundit??? Any suggestions???
