An entire year of worthless nonsense!

oneyear

One year ago I opened the Natural State Hawg so that I might be able to bore and confuse people around the world.

Folks, it’s been a heck of a good time. I’ve met some fantastic bloggers and genuinely nice people through this little blog of mine – probably my favorite things about this project, actually.

Frankly, I am almost amazed that I’ve lasted a year. Who can prattle on about virtually nothing for almost 12 months straight? Apparently, I can do just that. Why? Because this world produces no shortage of things that amuse me, intrigue me or just plain piss me off.

Also, I make my living as a writer. I’m a public relations guy by trade (I still prefer the term “media cat”) and once made my living as a newspaper reporter. Evidently, there’s a lot of truth to the old adage suggesting that writers run around writing stuff at random because they can’t help themselves.

I figure I’ve got at least another year in me on this blog. I would like to thank my regular visitors – you cats are the best.

    Sterndal -- Ah, I always like inspiring (or, at least, good company).

    Take care.

    Theresa -- Thanks, Theresa. I'll certainly keep blogging away. I can't help it...

    Mystery -- I loved those books as a kid and had a ton of them.

    Wayangtimes -- I'll make sure to update my links, too.

    Steve -- I may do that. However, I looked back at my old posts and saw I spent a lot of time simply bitching, complaining or bragging about how great I am.

    Who wants a retrospective of that?
