Five-Year Bloggiversary

February 22, 2008 :: :: Journal

Yes, that's right ladies and jackholes. As of today, it's been five years since I started to subject the entire internet to the misfiring neurons, unfinished screenplays, and mewing cartoon cats fighting for attention inside my constantly dehydrated head. I figured there was a demand, since about 20 people a day back then would ask me what I was laughing at, and would look both disturbed and disappointed when I would close my eyes and mutter, "Nothing."

Since then, the site has gone through a name change, multiple upgrades, and countless identity crises. I've thought about giving it up many, many times. Each time, I just can't do it. Because of you, people! I have a very short attention span for all of the various projects and experiments I do, but that's because so few of them involve other people. I picture us all in a shoddy tent somewhere up in the mountains, pretending to herd sheep or fly-fish while we're actually falling deeper and deeper in love, me wearing a cowboy hat and little else, screaming, "I wish I knew how to quit you!"

Just take it easy on the Ambien, kids, or you'll take this blog along with you.

I don't like retrospects that much (the flashback episodes were always the worst in 80s sitcoms) so I'm not going to look back right now. And I wish I had some grand plans for the future of this blog, but I don't, other than my current experiment with keeping it commentless for awhile. I guess I'm just living in the present.

Right now, I'm blogging because it is fun. And that's about all there is to it.
