You.
It is National Blog Lurker Come Out Of The Closet Day.
Out of a few thousand readers, we get about 50 comments a day.
That means there are over 2500 of you who just spy on us.
Out yourself.

    Who is “we” and “us”? Are you Borg?

    wahooooo in first.

  3. therick 12 December 2007 at 6:39 am #

    ok I admit it…I spy.

  4. DangerKid 12 December 2007 at 6:53 am #

    Yeah, I’ve been lurking for about three weeks now. But i prefer to think of myself as a shadowy ninja-like figure rather than a lurker ;) I’ve enjoyed my time here so far. Thanks for all the work you put into this blog.

  5. Matt 12 December 2007 at 7:19 am #

    I’ll come out proud! (altho I comment every once in a while…)

  6. BrianV 12 December 2007 at 7:40 am #

    I have been lurking for awhile now. I shall wear the ribbons of shame.

    Great blog! I am the Internet Campus pastor down here in South Fla. and recommend your blog to a lot of people on campus.

    Okay, I’m out, I’m a Losblogaholic…..

  8. Zack 12 December 2007 at 7:46 am #

    I comment on occasion!

    I even linked to you from my blog (what’s up with the reciprocation man?)

  9. Renee Garcia 12 December 2007 at 7:48 am #

    Hmmm I comment sometimes and lurk sometimes… depends on if I have a baby in my arms while I’m reading! LOL So the real question is… do you lurk on my blog… and if you don’t… why the heck not?! LOL Just kidding! I may steal your little hangar (hanger?) thing though!

  10. Jeremy 12 December 2007 at 8:05 am #

    I’m an RSSer. First comment. Love the blog. Keep up the good work. :)

  11. George W. Bush 12 December 2007 at 8:08 am #

    I love this blog and the way it has gone “nucular.”

  12. Rachel 12 December 2007 at 8:13 am #

    Well, I guess my comment yesterday “outed” me. Haven’t lurked for very long, or at least very consistently. Thanks for commenting on my war zone post though. haha It’s nuts over here!

    And I have to say, your last post made me laugh out loud. Startin’ them young, aren’t you? :)

  13. NJo 12 December 2007 at 8:17 am #

    Sometimes it is better to listen than speak, so I have never commented – but I’ve learned a lot from listening to you! Thanks for all of the effort.

  14. Donovan 12 December 2007 at 8:19 am #

    dang it i’ve been caught!

  15. Jonathan 12 December 2007 at 8:19 am #

    I, lurker. Formerly blessed by your worship leading at Sandals, now by your ragamuffin soul. Found your blog through Dan Lance. God bless!

  16. Kris Sorensen 12 December 2007 at 8:23 am #

    I’ve been peeking through the window of your world for about a week now. I really enjoy your blog and creativity.

  17. Emily 12 December 2007 at 8:37 am #

    I’m a lurker!!! I check your blog everyday. I used to volunteer with production at Buckhead but my job has kept me from it the past 6 months or more. Hopefully I’ll make it back soon and meet you!

  18. Chris 12 December 2007 at 8:39 am #

    Hey, Carlos. Long time reader, first time commenter . . .

    I’m one of the NPt Alpharetta attenders that was reading your blog before you told the community that you were moving to Georgia. Glad to have you here.

    I thought I saw you slip into 7:22 last night, and after it was over, I elbowed my way through the crowd to meet you. After making dozens of new enemies, I arrived to find out that it wasn’t you. Oh well. Maybe next time.

  19. Maddy 12 December 2007 at 8:39 am #

    Lurk? Me? Never!
    Cheers

  20. Caitlin 12 December 2007 at 8:40 am #

    I only found this blog last week… does that make me a lurker?

  21. Amber Cox 12 December 2007 at 8:41 am #

    Hi Los!
    Im still reading every day – just through google reader, so you might not see me lurking. tee-hee-hee

  22. Chris 12 December 2007 at 8:42 am #

    Carlos…man I am a lurker. I feel somewhat liberated outing myself. I have really enjoyed reading your blog over the past few months. Love your heart for ministry and your family.

  23. alex mclean 12 December 2007 at 8:50 am #

    I feel so Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

  24. Ben 12 December 2007 at 8:56 am #

    Hey Carlos, Started following your blog around the time just before your time on LA Ink. Its such a small world that you moved from Cali to ATL and now you work with Moxie. I new Moxie when he was Mark and in a band called Sundry. We used to go to a lot of their shows and hang out when they were in FL. Small world. Thanks for the excitement and enthusiasm you write and post with it just fun to read your blog.

  25. Vince 12 December 2007 at 8:57 am #

    We may look back and remember this to be an important day…I have the same problem over at nikao.

  26. Aaron 12 December 2007 at 8:57 am #

    Yes, I’m a lurker. Don’t turn me in!

  27. Robin 12 December 2007 at 9:15 am #

    I totally comment all the time. :-)

  28. Roy 12 December 2007 at 9:16 am #

    Could it be that rather than 2500 readers per day, it’s really just 3 or 4 lurkers that click on your site 6 or 700 times per day?

  29. john in colorado 12 December 2007 at 9:19 am #

    colorado confessional #1: it’s 4 degrees outside and i wear fleece.

  30. julie belle 12 December 2007 at 9:27 am #

    hi, i’m julie. i think you found me on virb, and i wandered here to lurk ever since. not fair, i know.

  31. The Brown Kid 12 December 2007 at 9:33 am #

    Hey Carlos,
    Yeah, I’ve been lurking up here in Bellingham, Washington for about a year (LA Ink times). I’ve had you linked the whole time. I feel so dirty.

  32. mandy 12 December 2007 at 9:36 am #

    well….
    i’m not so much “lurking” as just not commenting frequently… bc, well, most of the time your peeps have already posted those witty comments that i woulda left.

  33. Vet in Fresno 12 December 2007 at 10:01 am #

    At the end of September I was doing a YouTube search for Half Dome videos and stumbled upon you. My natural curiosity led me to your blog. The rest is history.

  34. tony sheng 12 December 2007 at 10:02 am #

    love your blog. read it via rss.

  35. erin 12 December 2007 at 10:06 am #

    do you really want 2500 responses????

  36. loswhit 12 December 2007 at 10:07 am #

    I love it. It is SOO LIBERATING!!!
    Feel your freedom and keep coming out!!!

  37. tunz 12 December 2007 at 10:19 am #

    since I comment often, do I have to go back into the closet? I’m good either way.

  38. Flav 12 December 2007 at 10:22 am #

    Los, it’s me, da Flava. You know me by now, been out for a while. Since I found you – thanks to Scott Hodge and his passion for cool glasses – i’ve been hooked. Keep rockin’! And thanks for the words you blessed me with at St. Arbucks that beautiful Catalyst morning, remember???

  39. Loran 12 December 2007 at 10:37 am #

    I’m out. West coast. Representing the great Northwest. You’re the man Los!

  40. Jenni Clayville 12 December 2007 at 10:42 am #

    I’m a reader… do I get a prize of some sort?

  41. Jinx 12 December 2007 at 10:44 am #

    I’ll comment every once in a while…maybe not as often as you would like, but occasionally nonetheless. Only when I feel I can contribute something worthwhile.

  42. Adam F 12 December 2007 at 11:05 am #

    Why would I leave a comment? Dang it! I did it…

  43. Akash 12 December 2007 at 11:19 am #

    I think I’ve commented once before. I’m one of your Buckhead Production volunteers

  44. BryanG 12 December 2007 at 11:25 am #

    Spy no more. This is definitely going up on my blog.

  45. Brooke 12 December 2007 at 11:29 am #

    I’m a lurker/occasional commenter. My friend Chris goes to NP/722 – he’s tried to meet you for me (& himself!) a couple of times, but it just never works out :(

  46. Rich Stephens 12 December 2007 at 11:29 am #

    Since I never read a blog on a daily basis before this one, why not come out and post a comment too? Here it be…always fascinating stuff, Los. Keep up the good work.

  47. Gary 12 December 2007 at 11:34 am #

    Since we’re being real, I’m outing my wife Joanne too…….

    Hmmmm, maybe I shouldn’t have done that.

  48. Rachel 12 December 2007 at 11:36 am #

    p.s. Curiously enough, I’m not finding anything that says today is teh “official” day for all this. ;)

  49. rob reed 12 December 2007 at 11:41 am #

    Helllloooooooooooooooooooooo!

    “I’m coming out… I want the world to know… got to let it show!”

  50. loswhit 12 December 2007 at 11:41 am #

    Yea. I made the day up. So now it is official.

  52. Jason Curlee 12 December 2007 at 12:38 pm #

    I’m out…no really…I’m out……

    I’m OUT

  53. Shanda 12 December 2007 at 12:50 pm #

    You don’t know me but I think we did meet once and I know a lot of people who know you… I graduated from CBU and stumbled on your blog through someone else’s one day and have been reading… okay “lurking”… ever since. I now live in TX and I’m pretty sure I have enlisted a few other Texans because of saying “hey, read this…” It’s easy to get sucked in to your thoughts. :o ) I enjoy the insights into your mind and heart… and often hilarious life. Thanks for always sharing.

  54. Morgan 12 December 2007 at 12:57 pm #

    so I stalk you…isn’t that what blogs are for? You’re the boss of one of my bff’s so for some reason that makes me feel less creepy. Plus I have nothing to do at work all day so you’re also my entertainmet.

  55. Tracy Edwards 12 December 2007 at 1:24 pm #

    OK, OK. . .I wanted to be the one to sing Diana Ross!

    I actually met you at Catalyst and was introduced to your blog by our mutual friends, Brody Harper and Shaun Groves. I have never commented on your blog, but you guys have been an inspiration to my blogging.

    I am getting better. . . .but I linked to you. That counts for something, right?

  56. Red Wine Gums 12 December 2007 at 1:29 pm #

    It turns out there’s also a Delurking Day in January, September and October. We’ve all been had methinks.

    Keep blogging Los.

    Be Blessed

  57. David 12 December 2007 at 1:53 pm #

    I’m guilty…a big blog stalker here.

  58. Dan 12 December 2007 at 2:30 pm #

    Guilty. Please Hammer, don’t hurt us…

  59. Tara 12 December 2007 at 3:09 pm #

    I don’t know you, never met you….. but I do attend BC. Honestly I am not even sure how I came across your blog, but I love it!

  60. Anna 12 December 2007 at 3:29 pm #

    I comment… you know… everyone does. Even George W. Bush, I guess.

  61. Deneen 12 December 2007 at 3:49 pm #

    I’m not always just a lurker. I make comments from time to time :)

  62. Loi 12 December 2007 at 3:57 pm #

  64. Misty 12 December 2007 at 6:20 pm #

    I am a faithful lurker.

  65. Cori 12 December 2007 at 7:12 pm #

    Raises hand … I’m a long time lurker. Found you through Youtube adoption stuff, but stayed for the daily dose of authenticity. Your blog is a daily inspiration to me. Thanks.

  66. Danae 12 December 2007 at 7:36 pm #

    I am a regular…..comment once in awhile

  67. Dan Jones 12 December 2007 at 8:01 pm #

  69. Trevor 12 December 2007 at 8:51 pm #

    Lurking.
    Waiting for something profound to say.
    Wish I had some advice for the snip snap.
    Good luck!

  70. Albee 12 December 2007 at 9:04 pm #

    Come on….you know who the king blog stalker is….tell ‘em.

  72. alexsandra 12 December 2007 at 11:39 pm #

    I’ve left a few comments, not for a while though, so I may have been lurking again.
    Last week the receptionist at my chiropractor’s office was reading your blog while I was there.

    Good Luck with the snip snip. Prayers.

  73. Mr. Police Man 13 December 2007 at 12:49 am #

    I’m still here!

  74. Aaron 13 December 2007 at 5:09 am #

    hi

  75. Cristy 13 December 2007 at 6:43 am #

    I’ve commented before, but not often. Found your blog through shlog and I read every day.

  76. kim 13 December 2007 at 7:53 am #

    I’ve been reading ragablog for a long time. Maybe I’ve commented before. I have a <30 day memory for such things.

  77. Gbrad@mag 13 December 2007 at 10:30 am #

    Yo I comment I just type real slow.

  78. Gbrad@mag 13 December 2007 at 10:36 am #

    I miss you rockin’ @ Sandals though . . . I guess I do lurk from time to time

  79. Jacob 13 December 2007 at 12:35 pm #

    I’m out now.

  80. Lindsay Best 13 December 2007 at 12:55 pm #

    love the site…thanks for it man.

  81. Karen Erickson 13 December 2007 at 1:08 pm #

    Do you really want to read 2500 comments a day! If so then you have waaaayyyy too much time on your hands. About being snipped, it’s about time, tell your wife I’m behind her on this one. We women go through the pain and suffering of more than just labor pains, you try 9 months of carrying an alien inside of you. This is the least you can do….are you still so sure you want my comments.

  82. dan 13 December 2007 at 3:44 pm #

    love the blog, it is in the top 3 I read regularly….consider me outed
