According to the "Your Domain Is About To Expire" email I got today, apparently it's been three years since I started this site. Long after I'm famous, some historian will challenge this post and note that the first post was actually in October 2010. Pay him no mind. My first Wordpress post was in October. I actually had two or three different websites with the same URL up until I finally settled on a blog. And boy, did those things suck.
One was a magazine styled website where I actually tried my hand at writing code. Considering the last time I'd written any form of computer code was in high school...you can guess how it looked. The other had drawings that I did by hand, like a comic book of my thoughts. I have a hard time drawing stick people, so it was short lived. Even when I finally settled on a blog, I couldn't figure out what format to use. If anybody has been around since the beginning...God bless you!
I have to admit that I don't really like the current layout (theme), but I don't have the energy or time to devote to really designing it the way I want. This year, however, I promise myself that I'll do a better job of proofreading these things before I put them out. Judging by some of these posts it's hard to believe that I actually majored in English at some point in my life. My other promise is to try and get back to the funny stories. I read through some old stuff and actually laughed quite a bit. When I got to the more recent stuff I was like, "Damn, what happened?"
It's been a rough year so far. The hits just keep on coming, but one thing people have always told me is that they appreciate my ability to find humor in pain. If you can make people laugh at themselves life gets a little easier. Wish me luck on that one.
