I spent some time thinking–several long minutes–over what to write for the one-thousandth post of this blog.
Should it be something deeply profound and insightful? Haha, no. I’m not about to take the blog in some bold, new direction.
How about a list? I love lists. This was very tempting but collating a list about the blog, such as links to “the best my brain could come up with” posts felt too much like work and a random list didn’t seem worthy.
A haiku? They’re fun and simple. But lazy, really. Doesn’t this milestone deserve something that takes more than a few seconds to dash off? Probably not, but I can pretend it does.
After mulling these three ideas my several minutes of thinking was over and here I am.
I now present all three below. What tremendous blogging value I give to the several people accidentally stumbling across the site because I wrote “Zachary Quinto naked” into this post.
Something deeply profound and insightful
I don’t actually have anything for this but take a look at this Wikipedia article on the Observable Universe and try wrapping your mind about how big it is, how small we are and just what the heck is out past the part we can’t observe, anyway? I say space monsters.

This list demonstrates several things, leading to a bonus list (but not in a fancy box):
- I’m obsessed with my legs, admittedly the sexiest part of my body.
- I’m also obsessed with randomness. What is the difference between random stuff and random thoughts? A good question.
- I complain about the weather. How trite and predictable. Expect more starting this summer.
- I’m determined to write novels in 30 days or less.
- I am at least semi-literate, having read and reviewed several books.
- I am not above puns or terrible wordplay.
