Still Crazy After All These Years…

Now if that isn’t a decent opening blog invite, I don’t know what is. I wanted to use the video bit from Grosse Pointe Blank where a classmate yells “Ten Years” for a few minutes but I am way too damned lazy tonight and it’s closing in on 4am and I need a shower after working in a hot warehouse.

Ten years ago a friend of mine introduced me to Xanga because a few of our mutual friends from a fanzine hung out here and I had a web tv and needed more time to waste on the Internet. TEN YEARS… TEN YEARS… Sorry, Grosse Pointe Blank is one of my favorite movies of all time. Anyway, if anyone is interested in reading some of my first posts, feel free if you’re really bored. I haven’t been here for the entire ten years because of my web tv breaking on me twice and not having access to a computer (hence having a web tv and I do miss that device. I can’t tell you how fun it was surfing the web from the couch.), I was away for a awhile. And unless something happens, I will be here for many years to come. A lot of the people I knew have gone. There may be few who have been here that I know, but for the most part, they are gone. But I have a new bunch of “friends and it’s as fun now as it was then. Maybe better. Because I’m older, sader and hopefully wiser. But August 23, 2002 was my first post.
No Top Three Tuesday for the next few weeks. Monday was a pulse explaining why. And the two Tuesdays will be due to being over worked at work. It will be back. And I may come up with more ideas to blog about.
Well, for now I need a shower and some sleep. 10:30 am arrives way too early for me and I get so distracted to miss much sleep.
Here’s to another 10 years…

10 years. that’s awesome. i’m glad to know you.
sorry you’re overworked right now.
Hey, I’ve been here 10 years, too! I don’t remember the exact date.
I’m sorry you’re sadder now. I hope this work time goes quickly for you.
Wow. It will be 8 years for me in September. Wow. Don’t know where all the time has gone. I’ve made some good friends on Xanga, some of whom I’ve actually met in person. There doesn’t seem to be the same kind of activity on here now as there was back then, but FB has taken it’s toll (I suppose). It’s been hard for me to adapt to FB, as I am a little chattier than just a quick line or two. (Hence, I don’t “pulse” on Xanga…can’t fit it all in!) I suppose I will stick with Xanga until they close shop. I enjoy it.
Sorry about your time in the freezer. Hope it goes by quickly. (By the way…I was really looking forward to your Top Three Tuesday post!)
Take care and stay warm!
Your blogs and information attracts me to come back again n again. cudo
