Twelve Months of Bad Journalism

I started this thing a year ago as an escape from work and life and stoicism. I had a mission statement and a plan. I had a few posts a day. Things have changed. I have changed, and a full year of it has been logged for all to read.

The blog for me has been a learning experience. I've learned how much I'm willing to reveal about myself and how to say just what I want without telling too much or too little. I've started trends and reported on the daily grind of my life. It became an extension of the fact that I will talk continuously, whether you are listening or not. It has been one year.

Highlights and Trends:
First was the blog itself. A few friends already had them, but they weren't often talked about within the crew until this one hit the scene. Those of us who didn't vent to the internet started doing so and reading the mopes and triumphs of everyone else.
Following were little trends in music and in styles. The biggest of those is the epic End of Year post. That'll continue as long as I have the blog.

The major highlight has been realizing the nature of blogs.

I wanted to write a more spectacular post for the occasion, but the 9th caught me by surprise. Thanks for reading, guys.

Amen brother. I'll always read.

Add "Truckin" by the dead to that mix and you are golden
