10 Years of Blogging

Me from 10 years ago

Wow.  Yesterday was my blog's 10th birthday and I was so busy with my radio show that I forgot about it!

It's hard to believe that a simple blurb that I posted on 7/15/10 has led to almost 700 more posts.  And I absolutely appreciate all of you for reading them.  Even if you only read one.

And 1.25m views later, I guess that I'm still doing my thing, albeit not nearly as often as it once was.  I started my radio show about 7 months after my blog and spent a lot of time building it.  It really became my focus around 2013 after the passing of The Mrs.  I put all of my spare time into it to help ease the pain of losing her.  Plus I'd just lost my mom five months prior.  2012 was rough.

But thanks to loyal readers supporting me, a radio show audience, and the love of family and friends, I made it through and I've made the most of my life since.  I have a job that I love.  I have a woman that I love.  And I have a family that loves me.  You can't ask for much more!

I'm not sure how long I'll continue to blog.  Maybe this is something that I will do until the day I expire.  Who knows?  I could be 88 years old and on here complaining about something President Malia Obama did (I'm assuming that we will have at least a few female presidents in the next 40 years).

In the meantime, I'll continue to do my thing here and over at T2Q.  I have fun bringing crazy stories and information to the masses and I hope that you all have enjoyed it as well.  Thanks for hanging in their with me through 10 years of funny, happy, crazy, informative, and sometimes sad blog posts.  I hope that I can fulfill 10 more if possible!

Me today. What a difference 10 years makes, huh?

TQ Turns 7!

Where has the time gone?  I know that I do not blog nearly as much as I once did.  Life has changed so much since my first few years of blogging.  However, I try to post something on here every blue moon to let my readers know that they have not been forgotten.

In my 7 years of blogging, I've celebrate many things as well as shared many tragedies.  I guess that I never really got my readers up to speed to what's been going on with my life.  Just know that everything is great and I'm just as happy as I was when I started this blog on July 15th back in 2010.

There will definitely be more posts to come in the future and I thank everyone who has hung around this long to read Thank, Q!

Blogaversary: Year 5!

Has it been five years already?  Time flies when you're having fun, I guess.  I know that I haven't been blogging as often as I once did.  I've had other things to distract me from blogging, but I still enjoy it.  It's still somewhat therapeutic to get on here and type away about the many things that occur in the world that irk me.  I also enjoy sharing funny stories from time-to-time, although it's been a while since I've done so.

But, I want to thank all of you who have taken the time to read at least one blog post.  I don't know how many consistent readers I have these days.  I used to have regular commenters, but that's a thing of the past.  Most people would rather comment on a Facebook post than a blog these days.  At least that way you will look smart in front of people you know.  And I totally get that.

However, it doesn't deter me from posting.  I've gotten over 935,000 hits in five years.  I know people still read even if they don't comment and I'm very thankful for that.  I will continue to share my perspectives on current events and relationships.  I will allow a sneak peek into my life regarding my search for the right woman, milestones/achievements, and stories of my family.  I will continue to use my blog as a platform to promote others who are doing much worthier things than me.

Hopefully, I can get another five years out of this thing.  So, sit back, relax and thank Q for common sense.  Because some things still just need to be said.  And I'm that dude to say it.
