Mildly Excited about 1,000 Page Views

I guess over the course of a two years (yup, I've had this thing for two years), I have managed to get over 1,000 page views.  This is cool...I guess.  I didn't think anybody really read the stuff I posted (unless I posted a shameless plug on a forum or something).  Based on my statistics (yes, I actually look at my statistics) it seems like most of the views come from random people looking for baby names or Draw Something pictures.  They were probably slightly amused, greatly disappointed, or fairly confused to find my blog. 

This isn't "GameOfThronesInspiredNames.com"!

 

 

Whether or not you are a regular reader of my blog (there's probably 2 of you) or if you randomly happened to stumble upon it, no thanks to my misleading labels, I'd like to say thanks for clicking whatever link led you here!  I'm doing this mostly for my own enjoyment, but I appreciate the page views.


Merci!

I'm Thankful for Things and Stuff...

Every November, Thanksgiving rolls around and fills people's hearts with warmth and their arteries with cholesterol.  For most people this is a time to reflect on the things in life that they are grateful for.  Most cite blessings such as family, friends, a regular paycheck...  However, I believe it's the smallest of things that we have to be thankful for.  Many minor occurrences and objects in life are not given full appreciation around Thanksgiving time, and I think it's time we acknowledge them.  There are tons of little things to be grateful for, such as:

• Phones with wireless and 3G.  For those times you get hopelessly lost in in Vancouver.
• Phones that are not made by Apple.  For those times that Apple makes you cry.
• Free music.  Let's face it.  Someone will always find a way to download free songs.
• People who actually buy full albums from artists.  Those artists should be veryyy grateful.
• Cable television that provides akabajillion channels.
• Netflix.  For when ALL of the akabajillion channels suck.
• Christmas specials.  For when winter season gets you sick and you just need to lay on the couch and feel human again.
• Bathrooms.  Because if you do Thanksgiving right, my golly, you're probably gonna need one.
• Those 30 second ads before YouTube videos.  Stop complaining.  These are the reason YouTube is free.  Dammit.
• Reality shows like Teen Mom, Real Housewives, Jersey Shore, and Honey Boo Boo.  To remind yourself that "at least you're better than that."
• Alternative rock radio stations.  Because we're tired of Maroon 5.
• Eggnog.  Because, no wait.  NOBODY is thankful for that shit.
• Coffee.  Because you probably wouldn't get out of bed, shower, and drive to your parents house for Thanksgiving dinner without it.  Truth.
• Colored highlighters and sharpies.  Just because.
• Saturday Night Live.  Because they keep us on our toes: "Is this week's episode going to be good or bomb?  The suspense is killing me!"
• The Parent Trap and Mean Girls.  Because we sometimes need a reminder of Lindsay Lohan's good ol' days...  So does she.
• Mitt Romney.  For his ever-hilarious 'condesending grandmother' look.
• Paul Ryan.  For being Paul Ryan.
• Barack Obama.  For being one of the most relevant presidents I've seen.  Seriously, I've never seen a politician be so into Internet memes.  Internet.  Memes.
• Joe Biden.  For having the best dentist ever.  Apparently.
• Twitter.  Because we don't read newspapers anymore.
• Cracked.com.  For entertaining us during our down-time at work.
• Internet Explorer 10 commercials.  For introducing us to Alex Claire.  Good job.
• Nicki Minaj.  For making Lady Gaga seem normal.
• Ryan Gosling.  Because.  Damn...

Hey, girl!  Happy Thanksgiving!
