The First Year (interlude #7)



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!

  1. Congrats!
    I 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 :)

  7. Last year at this time (due to my inability to handle things ) I checked into the "Looney Bin" for a week ... the day after I came home my beloved dog ("Uno") was killed...
    lately ..mostly Depression issues... You should see the stacks of books and papers that surround me at present ...many things to scan and post....
    and your thoughts on my "New Blog"....

  23. Did you know that I STILL have not made it into your blogs archives yet? Time is a bitch. But I like riding the wave with the few Blogger friends that I have right now. Lets see what time brings. Only time will tell.
