Leather

I read somewhere (or at least I think I did) that the average blog lasts about two months or so. After that time, the blogger realizes his stuff sucks and he just lets the cyberweeds take over his home.

Some of us are more stubborn.

I started this site three years ago on July 10, 2005 (I could've written 18 crappy blogs in that time instead of just one!). I sometimes feel like I write the same post over and over again: one of my kids does/says/eats something cute/strange/funny/disgusting. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Lately, though, I've been having a lot of fun with this site. I'm enjoying posting photos of weird things around my state, sharing my secrets of frugal living, and stuff like that. While I'm not purposely moving this site in a different direction, it certainly looks that way. But I'm not going to stop writing about my kids. They're still going to do/say/eat something cute/strange/funny/disgusting that I will want to share. I'm just going to write about it in a way that feels less hackneyed. At least to me.

Yeah, I should be celebrating my site on its third anniversary. Instead, I'm trashing it. I'm the guy who brings up ex-girlfriends in wedding toasts.

I really would like to thank all you guys for taking the time out of your busy days to read my stuff, comment, follow me on Twitter, send me racy pictures of yourselves, and email me. I really find it hard to believe that people want to read my words. Thanks, guys.

P.S. I'd like to share one of my favorite songs today. I think this is a beautiful song and this version almost has a Disneyesque quality, even though it was performed by a total megalomaniac.
