Yep, that's right, this blog is officially one year old!
I never even would have realized it, except that I've been upgrading the software for it (with some difficulty, see this post for a bit more on the subject) and noticed the date of the styles.css file.
Yeah, that's boring, I know.
A few musings about the past year below the jump.
So... a year of highly-intermittent ramblings to an imaginary (and increasingly attractive) audience.
And no sign the rubber-room bridge is enroute! Yay!
Looking back through the first two posts on the site, I can see I was actually pretty spot-on with my topics prediction, although I got the order pretty wrong.
However, I was wrong in saying that I'd have more substantive posts and less "witty reparte with myself". Clearly I can't get enough of witty reparte with myself (I may go blind soon!)
In the past year, many things have changed and many others have stayed almost exactly the same.
I'm still a techie geek and a gamer. I still have the same job. I still play poker. I'm still a wannabe, unpublished writer (and still because I don't do anything about it). I still live in the same area.
What HAS changed?
I play BETTER poker (arguably), and online now, to boot!
I own a house (dear god, he's an adult!)
My politics, if anything, have gone even farther to the left while I simultaneously get increasingly disgusted with the whole process.
I have met an amazing, gorgeous, intelligent and challenging (it's a good thing, trust me) woman, and have somehow convinced her to date me for more than half a year. Though of course, after reading that paragraph, she might change her mind...
I've opened my mind and my heart up to all kinds of new things, and people, and learned things I never thought I could.
Hell, I LIKE chinese food! That alone is a blockbuster of a revelation. Next thing you know, I'll be growing tree-like vegetables and eating them!
No, no. That's mad. Quite-quite mad.
So yeah.
A year. Wow.
Doesn't seem that long (except, possibly, to those poor few souls who actually read this dreck).
Dunno how it will be possible, but I hope the next year is even better!
