first year, paper


I’m not one to toot my own horn.

Oh, wait.

Yeah, I am.

Well, this is no exception then. Today is my one year blogiversary! Yay for me! It marks the 366th day of thinking myself a writer. That’s something. It also has helped me make new friends and reconnect with old ones. It’s painstakingly tracked my progress through a whirlwind year and provides the stage from which I can look back and say: what the FUCK was I thinking?!? I’ve come a long way.

So thanks for reading my drivel! I wouldn’t be half as motivated to write if it weren’t for the comments and camaraderie. Y’all are the shit, you know that, right? You did? Good.

Cheers, everybody!

happy bloggoversary!

if i could wrap something virtually in the traditional paper, i would, but i can't so i'll wrap something virtually with virtual paper.

Heather: Awww, thanks! I will virtually unwrap it now!

Daily: I've started to READ Ulysses a number of times. Get a little further in with each attempt. I have this hang up where I want to understand it, you know, GET it, so I take forever to read a page and try to get inside Joyce's head, and I eventually lose momentum. My friend Paul gave me a tip: read it for the rhythm. That's my next try. Read it just for the pretty.

I'm from Minneapolis, which is why I love Craig Finn and his many endeavors. What's your story?

Here's to a wonderful twelve months of haikus, folded cranes, old jobs, new cities and a cross-country adventure. I hope you stick around for several more years!

Michelle: Thank you, ma'am!

Jay: Here's to a few more years - I assume I got that much in me before my life becomes dull and predictable!

Pete: Oh. My. Goodness. That's classic!

Happy Bloggoversary.

Long time reader, first time poster. I enjoy all the ambiguous references you've included in your blog. Humor, wit and intellect. Fantastic. Keep it up.

Purfiktgurl: I left your friend a message that our 1 year old blogs should have play dates and sign up for baby swimming lessons together! Thanks for the kind words, too. You've always been so sweet and supportive!

Rusty: Hi. Thanks for the note! It's kinda neat to know that people are reading and maybe not saying anything! Weirdly cool!

Oh goodness you've been hit with this blogger spam crap, too!

Unknown said...

Stoopid spam. I removed it. Score one for us, I guess.

Jay said...

Hmm... I got it as well, on two of my posts no less. I looks as we're under attack by some jerk.

You Jerk!!!
