Post #25,000

I thought about just ignoring when I hit post number 25,000, but then what swayed me against that was I didn't want post 25,000 to end up being about Lindsay Lohan or Kim Kardashian or something like that, and then later regret it so I just thought I would at least have it marked so I would know when I reached the number, in case I ever get to 50,000. I remember 1,000 and 5,000 clearly. The other milestones I have to go back and look for. I do remember post one. I remember reading a blog that day and I want to say it was Cory Kennedy's blog. I thought this blog thing sounded kind of interesting and it was free and I really didn't have much going on in that hour at work so wrote a little something and posted it. I then kept checking back to see if anyone read it, and no one did. At the same time though, it didn't really matter that no one had read it, I still enjoyed doing it and the next day I did another and then another and then suddenly there were people reading it. I remember the day the MV blind came out and ONTD linked to it. I thought about shutting the whole thing down right then. It was just too many people. But, there I was, the next day, doing it all over again. It has been that way for close to 7 years now. The blog is only still going because of all of you. You read it and you comment. You have made friendships and you are the best part of the site. Without all of you, it would just be me, typing random thoughts into the universe like that first day. Without all of you participating, I don't know if I would have kept it going for 25,000 posts. Thanks to everyone who has been around since the beginning and for those of you who have been here a week and decided to come back.
