In ten years there have been many ups and downs, many milestones. A
lot of things can change in ten years including me and even my
writing style. I have a lot of memories with this blog, some I am
proud of and some I am not. But, it is still part of past which
makes me who I am. Anyway, let's get through some of them.
-Post about my dog passing away: Being an animal lover, my dog dying
hit me very hard. I wrote about years ago. I felt it was a touching
moment and blog post. I still feel her loss today, and I haven't
fully recovered from her death. I just can't bring myself to get
another dog.
-My early readers: Nothing pleased me more than to see people
reading my blog. While I wasn't that great, I was happy to know
people liked my early stuff.
-The Writer From TNG commenting on a
review: I wrote a review to Yesterday's Enterprise and the person
that (Eric
A. Stillwell ) left a comment on my review. That was one of
those early crowning moments. Today, I would have written a better
review. That was a great moment.
-The Yellow Ranger leaving a comment. I wrote a post about an ad and
she left a comment. I was glad I said nice things about her and
wasn't mean.
-Referenced in Know Your Meme: I was linked to a post about William
Shatner's ego meme. The post was about Wil Wheaton and his encounter
with Shatner. That story always stayed with me. I also got a shout
out on Buzzfeed and Cracked.com. I love these shout outs.
-My piece on my writer mentor/teacher: After his death, I wrote a
piece honoring him. I put a lot of heart into it. I got some major
feedback from him family. His son and other family members contacted
me and told me they loved my post. I even received an interview from
the Indiana University Newspaper. I think I said some remarkable
things in that phone interview. I can't seem to find anything on it
though. I think they named some building after him.
-Jesse Camp diss: I love the fact that Jesse himself took the time
to come to my little shitty blog and attack me for attacking him. I
hated him when he was on MTV and I hate him even more for stumbling
onto my blog. Why? The best part is he posed as his “second
cousin” when he shat out his comment. Thanks for the
entertainment, Jesse.
-Cheerleader Scandal: That sort of thing is an everyday thing today,
but back in the early days of blogging, it was a total shock. The
fact it happened in my hometown and in my university was also
interesting. I wrote a post that received a lot of hits in the
thousands upon thousands. While I was a little bit too mean and
judgmental, I still can't understand why women would pose for nude
photos and not expect them to get out. Someone will always leak
them. If you're hot and I am dating you, I don't need nude photos to
remind me. Don't worry, I will remember your naked body.
Anyway, so what happened to the nude cheerleader? Well, she got
married recently and seems to be very happy. She's often overlooked
today due to the hundreds of women and men with leaked photos and
videos. Fappening is an overdose of that. The Cheerleader Scandal
now seems a bit old fashion.
-My blog causing a lawsuit: Let's just say there was a crimimal case
and a lawsuit grew out of that case against some companies. I did
some digging and found out that my post was recorded in the KY
Supreme court years ago. Certain former bosses of mine were called
to witness in the case and they were not too happy with my blog being
used in the courtroom. Keep in mind that this had nothing to do with
the criminal case. Anyway, the lawsuit was thrown out because the
state has rules against what they were trying to sue for. It is a
law that protects companies from saying anything at all about former
employees.
-Murder case thingy: I won't get into it because there could be more
fall out from it. But it does connect to the company lawsuit.
However, I never thought I'd be into so much legal mumbo jumbo.
-Famous Radio DJ contacted me: I really attacked a famous radio DJ
from LA a lot of years back. It was very personal and mean.
However, it was the way I felt about him and his job on a popular
syndicated radio show. He replaced a guy I really loved listening to
for about ten years. The show had changed with this new DJ and they
producers really wanted to push everything that reminded the us of
the old host out. On the blog, I probably hit below the belt
attacking his wife's past work, plus I kicked him when he was down.
He left the show under some pressure. Well, years later, he actually
contacted me. I did some digging and found out he was legit. I got
to talking to him via e-mail and came to think of him as good guy. I
deleted the post.
