Number One Thousand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here it is guys.

The big one.

It’s Number 1,000!

That’s right.

I’ve written a thousand blogs.

One Thousand.

That’s pretty amazing if you ask me.

Who knew that today

would be the day that I enter

the annals of blog history.

Are there annals of blog history?

Is that a thing?

No?

I’m being told that’s not a thing.

But still, like, a thousand is still

pretty neat.

I wish I had gotten myself, like,

a balloon to drop or a little

confetti launcher or something.

Seems sort of anti-climactic

now that I’m here.

I was looking forward to 1,000 a lot

so I’m feeling a little let down.

Not even a sad trombone solo

to mark the occasion.

Well, that’s the writers life I suppose.

It is a mostly solitary pursuit punctuated (writer’s pun)

with moments of genuine appreciation from

people who are brave and bold enough to tell

me that, “Hey, I liked your poem”, or that they

liked my short story.  Or that they didn’t like it.

So I guess there isn’t much fanfare, pomp and

circumstance. There’s no red jacketed band in

the gazebo ready to strike up a tune as I walk by,

and that’s okay.  I can be happy knowing that I have

endless stories to tell

and relentlessly shove into

your word holes.

Thanks to my loyal

readers and followers.

I sincerely appreciate your

support and encouragement.

So here’s to 1,000 posts

and here’s to 1,000 more.

(Dear God no).
