43 Posts. Where'd the time go?

Boy, 2010 really is my year for milestones.

Not only do I get to turn 40 this year.... (in 39 days actually), but I also have another birthday of sorts to celebrate and this one is today. It's my very first blog-iversary.

That's right, 365 days ago TODAY, I started this blog.

I've written 42 posts (43 if you count this one).

Yep, that's it; not even a post a week.

I'm like the poster child of blog fail.

Now, reflecting over my lack of accomplishments is something I tend to excel in. <-- yes, me and irony have a very tenuous relationship.

But this should still be considered an accomplishment. It's a project that has lasted longer than I anticipated, so... Win!

I decided to turn to the internet for a.) inspiration; b.) ideas on how I can celebrate my mediocrity and; c.) hey! maybe an anniversary present for myself!

I started with a broad search to try and find the real meaning behind blogging, you know since I've totally sucked at discovering it on my own.

These were Google's suggestions:

Wow. So much for inspiration, huh Google? Aside from that token positive suggestion that "blogging is serious business", the general consensus appears to be that blogging is just another colossal time suck for behind-the-times, OLD, losers with nothing better than a 5th grade mentality.

I don't know about you, but this didn't make me feel all that good about myself.

Ok, time to shake off the negative. I thought this was a good time for some quiet introspection. After all, this blog is mine! It's about me. Who knows... maybe after a year of blogging (assuming what I'm doing can even be CALLED blogging) I might actually be making an impression on some people! Surley that's possible right?

  Um... yeah.

I know. The similarities are striking aren't they? Like blogging, I'm also dead and old. Though I don't know how anyone can be both of those things. And who thinks I'm such a jerk that I need to be called a douche bag in 1.. 2... 3.... 4 ! different ways?! And who the fuck is this little 20 year old named Lori? She needs to step off! And why does everyone want to remind me of how old I am? Huh??

The bright side? Someone thinks I'm a fox (I owe you, wink, wink...). Unless of course, that should be taken in the venacular, where instead of "rawr" I'm seen more as "a cunning and conniving scavenger".

Great. Now I really feel awesome.

So that's it.

Happy fucking blog-iversary to me; "the always full of douche old bag, who may or may not be a fox, and also has an out of fashion hobby that she sucks at".

Screw this. Now that my day is ruined, I'm going to eat cake.

If I were drinking pop I would have spit it all over my computer.

Those "Karen is a douchebag" googles are FUNNEH! and all because of Dane Cook.

Don't worry, not everyone thinks you're a douchebag. LOL

Happy Anniversary!
