Today marks the end of my first year of blogging. Looking over the posts of my first year brought back many memories...

In February 05, I started by making a decision to follow more intellectual pursuits. Truth be told, I had already made this decision and that resulted in joining the local Writer's Guild. I choose to focus on poetry, and wrote quite a few poems over the year. Many posts centered around poerty ideas, though a few random thoughts made it to the page (they would the start of many philosophical posts to go without reply). I saw the movie Hotel Rwanda and I it's one of the best films I saw all year.

March I moved to dating topics, giving up Jack, playing guitar, and dreaming of the women of Fear Factor. April proved to be an interesting month, and not only because Dr. Who was back on the air. In April I made a post about a woman I had met, and what it might mean. I haven't revealed who this woman was, though some have claimed it was about them. Well, now let's see who's paying attention. In april I was known by Code Poet, and I was working on song writing. I tune idea for this object of desire popped in my head and I was all set to write her song when she told me of her drive home. She was listening to the radio, and one of the sweet love songs came on the radio, and she thought, "I wonder if Code Poet could write me a song like that." I never drank the kool-aid, never wrote the song. If she is reading this, she can let herself be known.

May, June and July were busy, not much posting. The only thing of note is in July is where the photo bug bit. So in August it's no wonder I joined in HNT. The led to a leaving of MySpace, which I count as a good thing. Karaoke and Poker marked the summer, and even had two more no comment philosophical posts.

September I was in full HNT-swing. It consumed the week, what would I do, how would I do it, waiting to post it, then looking at everyone else's posts. It didn't help that there was also Emmitt Smith's retirement, Firefly, Katrina, more Poker, and even a dork Tuesday.

October was Halloween carving and photos. I decided to dust off my amazon associate account and do a book review - it might help sales if I gave it a favorable review. HNT marched on, and a few concerts snuck in. It's also the first month EDL was mentioned, interesting if you consider we met in early June.

November saw the end of HNT, I just needed a break. Where did I focus this regained energy? At a Sony Boycott of course, and many did my google page rank jump that month. Other news of note: the McRib was back, I sell out to put ads on the blog, and I pushed a few DVD sets.

December I got a much better camera which led to more photo posts in January. Mixed in the photos were mostly random news reports, more than a few EFF links. This month set precedent by making a tech post, and I fear more will follow. Politics have been creeping in more, I may have to keep that in check. It's not an election year after all.
