It was twenty years ago today!

No, it wasn't.  It was five years ago today.

Five years ago today I wrote my first blog entry on MySpace, an emo diatribe against people who didn't give Brokeback Mountain (what I thought was) the proper respect in the theater.

We've come a long way since then, baby.  (And not all of it's been good.)

Book reviews, running reports, Facebook complaints, a Cheap Beer of the Month Club, movies, music, Things I Love, Things I Will Not - Under Any Circumstances - Tolerate, Aaron Carter updates, Today in Beatles History, old MySpace blogs, the occasional overpopulation post...all of the things I haven't been writing about but should have been.  That will be here.

And it will be good.

  1. I'm really excited for your new blog! I miss reading your frequent Jake-stalking posts, and while Jake's life is, ahem, ever so riveting, mostly I just enjoy your witticisms. So yes, I'm excited. :)

  9. I NEVER tease when it comes to Aaron Carter!!

    Sam, it was a valiant effort...I'll always know you were the first comment in theory, even if not in practice. :)

    sumi, I will never lose hope that he will one day return to form...but in the meantime, there should be more beer and dumb life stories, amirite?! :)

    For sure. I can't wait for you to start posting here. I'll try not to be so lazy and comment more, but that's not a guarantee.

    What the hell is with Aaron Carter, there's a girl at my school who actually has his songs on

  13. AH SORRY!! I'm trying a new comment thing with Blogger. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet!

    And now I've posted my first entry here and it's super-long, borderline depressing, and I've probably scared everyone off. Rest assured, there is *actual* hilarity (Aaron Carter-related and otherwise) coming, I promise!! :D
