Happy Bloggiversary to Me.
kos seems to think I joined on April 5, 2005 and while my memory is different (I contend it was April Fools Day) I can’t prove it.
That’s a total of 2557 days or 61,368 hours or 3,682,080 minutes or 220,924,800 seconds of my life I’ll never get back.
Including 629 days of unexpected absence, because I didn’t just sit on my ass feeling sorry for myself.
My character is static and fictional (diary #4, but who’s counting?). I haven’t changed a bit or grown any more than Jerry, George, Elaine, or Kramer, my level of obnoxiousness has remained constant. I’ve never pushed a noun against a verb except to blow up something. I do hateful things for which people love me, and I do loveable things for which they hate me. I’m admired for my detestability.
Nor am I likely to learn hugging in the future. I’m over 120 years old and they’re still trying to ban evolution in Tennessee where the trees of knowledge are almost extinct and ignorance bushes thick. I don’t miss Hillsboro, a mélange of Moorish and Methodist, it must have been designed by a congressman.
Since I’ve only ever been in love with the sound of my own voice I’ll spare you the trouble of actual research and direct you to some milestones-
When you’re as old as I am you pile up some numbers-
- 4/5/05 (2,557 days)
- 46,147 comments (18 a day)
- 426 diaries (1 every 6 days)
- 8/20/07 (1,690 days)
- 8,033 comments (4.75 a day)
- 1,974 essays (1+ a day)
- 6/12/10 (663 days)
- 10,611 comments (16 a day)
- 1,797 diaries (2.7 a day)
Overall (2,557 days)
- 64,791 comments (25 a day)
- 4,197 diaries (1.64 a day)
I had never blogged before I came to Daily Kos, but I’ve always been a writer (and a critic, NOT a reporter Jim) even when it was just poetry for machines. While I remain timeless I have taken my craft in different directions and I’m much more involved with the sites I manage and edit- The Stars Hollow Gazette and DocuDharma than I am concerned about minutia at the moment. Still, I’ve not forgotten where I got my start and should I happen on topics of mutual interest I don’t hesitate to share.
I hope all of you enjoy your time online as much as I do mine.

and many, many more. I couldn’t do this without all the work you out into it. Much appreciated and many thanks.
hope your nouns and verbs mix into the sort blogosplosive fulmination that you’ve been working towards all of these years.
