Celebrating Four Years! To Infinity and Beyond!

Today my blog celebrates it’s fourth birthday!

:disco:

Four years, and I’m in it for the long haul. It began with the intention of writing about my law school experience, and when that fell through the next blogging phase became a struggle with an identity crisis, as I struggled to decide what my blog should be about and how I could profit from all the work I had put into it, and from there it evolved into a treatise chronicling my abject failure on dating sites and with women in general. I cried, I wailed, I screamed, and I emoted, drowning my sorrows every night in hot cocoa and blueberry muffins.

And then one day, I made my very last payment on my college loan and was finally and completely out of debt. Shortly afterward, my blog had suddenly become a moneymaker. Not a “I can quit my job and live the rest of my days on a 50 acre ranch somewhere in the mountains of New Zealand” kind of moneymaker, but definitely an “I can buy lots of funsie toys and travel a whole HECK of a lot more often to anywhere I please” kind of moneymaker.

With that revelation in mind and the subsequent discovery of geocaching, the identity crisis I had long experienced with this blog finally came to an end. Why not make it about travel? Indeed, and not just travel, but a journey, a journey around the world that can now be experienced in reality rather than in my mind. A journey where I continually search for love. For truth. For justice. For geocaches. For… pizza. :D

After 4 years, my blog, and even more importantly, my audience, has helped me fulfill one of my biggest dreams, and this may only be the beginning. Our fate is now tied together. I welcome you all to join me as I embark on a never-ending journey, where together we can discover a whole new world.

Congrats on four years! I may have to dip into your archives soon. I’m only a recent reader (because for the geocaching stuff) ;-) I look forward to hearing about your travels!

Extra props if you’re still here after reading some of my crazy rants. Definitely not for the faint of heart. :cuckoo: :spinna: :gaga:

No definitely not for the faint of heart. So congrats, LA. Timing seems just right. Love ya!

I’ll still need to do a lot of research. Apparently Ohio is riddled with bed bugs because of the bans on effective pesticides (including DDT.) :blink:

Happy blogoversary :)

I have no idea how you manage to make real money out of a personal blog – but fair play to you for doing so!

Love the Village People smileys :)

Only took me 4 years. :D Hopefully it won’t take me another 4 years to achieve a full time income so I can finally quit my job. Even then it would be a leap of faith, giving up two possible incomes for one. :wideeyed:

Happy Birthday, Linc. Sorry I’m a few days late. Yes, I still lurk around here from time to time. You never come and visit me. I think you should come around my place from time to time and leave me a message so I know you’ve been by.

When is one of your road trips going to extend to the place where God lives? Colorado?

Added your blog to my feed, so I should be able to keep tabs better now. :D

I might be going to Colorado in July next year (I’m going tornado chasing! But don’t tell Mommy…)

Then maybe again Fall of 2011. We’ll see! It’s definitely happening in the near future though. I can’t wait! :banana:
