Technically, this is late, but oh well, at least I got here. I’m supposed to write myself a letter telling myself everything I love about myself, but I kinda handled that on Day 1. I guess maybe they were expecting me to unveil some deep truth within myself and maybe I’d have a different viewpoint, but no. And with the trouble I had finding a question to fill the last hole, I don’t wanna go that route again. So maybe I’ll just blog.
This thing has been taxing, fun, nostalgic, and a host of other experiences and emotions. I want to personally thank each and every person who read any of these posts, and anyone who regularly reads my blog as well as any subscribers that I have. I’ve gotten more siteviews over the last month than I have ever had on here, and that is pretty exciting, because I like the idea of getting my thoughts out into the world. I tried to make it a point to not include any personal blog posts while I was completing the 30 Days of Truth meme because I wanted to stay focused in that mindset the entire time. That being said, I missed some key moments.
A belated Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays to everyone.
A big thank you to current and former military personnel for everything (ethically honest) that they do so that others don’t have to, and everyone should honor the victims and courageous people who were part 0f the attacks on Pearl Harbor. We all know Michael Bay, Ben Affleck, and Josh Hartnett did a crappy job of that.
December 8th was the 30 year anniversary of the shooting death of John Lennon and the 6 year anniversary of the shooting death of Dimebag Darrell of Pantera. No explanation is needed as to why John Lennon was significant to me, or anyone really. He was a proponent of love and peace, and although some of his methods were unconventional, his heart was simple and pure. As for Dimebag Darrell, I became a fan of Pantera fairly quickly after becoming a fan of Metallica. I had the pleasure of meeting Darrell at a local concert and he was completely humble, and one of the nicest musicians I have ever met. The same is true of his brother Vinnie, who I have met on several occasions around town. Worldwide Darrell probably won’t ever be as significantly remembered as Lennon, but to those who knew him best, and for people like me who only met him briefly, he is every bit as worthy of our respect.
