Not quite writer’s block…

Actually, I suppose the phrase “writer’s block” implies that I haven’t been writing when, in fact, I’ve turned out a fair amount of copy in the last few days… Just nothing that I would think of as blog-worthy. Predominantly, it has been for class or for work, but I have found a few moments to do some writing purely for my own purposes and have found it as satisfying as ever. Some days I think I may have missed my calling and should have made a career of thinking on a topic, reading a little, writing, and then repeating the process until I have a new idea worked out. As I understand it, though, that job description is a little hard to come by and the pay scale sucks. One thing I have found is that a business degree has very little resemblance to actual academics and it’s nice to get back to thinking about issues of history and politics, even if no one but me will ever read the end results.

Happy Anniversary…

I just realized that the 1-year anniversary of this blog passed by unrecorded on March 19th. Frankly I’m amazed that I’ve had the attention span to keep up with it. That’s a tribute to you readers who keep egging me on. Thanks a million!

Note: This Post originally noted the one year anniversary of Get Off My Lawn when it was hosted on Blogger.

Blogging towards 6000…

I opened this blog on the 19th of March 2006 and sometime just after I post this, I’ll clear the 6000-hit mark. Yes, I know there are blogs out there that are getting that many hits a day, but, quite frankly, they are probably better writers or at least partially subsidized for what they are doing. My only intent was to use this little slice of internet heaven to rant, rave, vent, fume, and, occasionally, pass on some of my deeper ideas to you friends. It has turned out to be an incredibly cathartic exercise for me… particularly when I make myself sit here and do it on a regular basis.

Thanks for sticking with me for the last 6000 hits. I’m looking forwards to seeing you all when we get past the 12,000 mark!
