T'was
precisely one rotten year ago that I started this voyage of punk illustrating
the people I've met and our shared stories. All in all, this marks the end of Year One.
However, it hasn't been a faultless year. Only two months after I began, I
stopped for a period of half a year. What an idiot. Many shitty factors contributed to this, but non
relevant. So, in reality, I only have six months worth of posts. Maybe I
shouldn't be celebrating, then... What’s more relevant, the time or the effort?
Neither. It’s the people I've met since this mind trip began. If no one was reading
this crap, I’d probably still be crafting these travesties of remarkable people, but it’s so much better to have your fine company. Big thanks and a toast
to you all.
Cheers!
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry about pausing, everyone does it at some point and as you said time isn't relevant.
As long as you enjoy what you're doing and take a breather when you don't, it doesn't matter.
Hope there's many more posts to come :)
Happy birthday to this fantastic blog!
