I like doing these anniversary posts because it gives me a chance to reflect on what I've done over the course of a year. I think we all tend to chug right along and don't always realize how far we've come.
I've gotten more than 30k pageviews, which is pretty crazy when you think about it. It's allowed me to talk to and become friends with people all around the world. I dare say I wouldn't have most of the friends I have right now if it wasn't for starting this blog, and for that reason alone I'm pretty happy. I've also gotten to collaborate with some of them on various projects around the internet, and that's pretty awesome.
Since last year I did marathons for The Muppets, the Alien and Predator franchises, Batman, and of course I'm currently almost finished the Silent Hill marathon. I started to script my videos, therefore hopefully making them increase in quality quite a bit. I also started Castle Rock Companion, which should be going for quite a while. Especially since Hollywood keeps announcing more and more Stephen King adaptations!
Beyond CRC, I have some other video review ideas in the works. Not for series but one off episodes about various movies, shows, music, games, and books that I love. There will probably be some more written reviews as well. Not everything needs a visual element, after all. I do not currently have any marathons planned, but that doesn't mean inspiration won't strike. This current Silent Hill marathon erupted after I found myself in love with the first game and wanted to experience more. Who knows what might hook me next year?
So thanks again to all of you who come here and read/watch/comment on my entries on a regular basis. You make doing this a lot more fun than if I was just talking about these things all by myself!

ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! And congratulations! =D
My favourite line from your post is: Who knows what might hook me next year? It's a question not just for yourself, but for your readers; and I think it sums up the adventure of blogging. The reason what we do is so fun is that we never know what's going to happen next . . . and we get to have other people along for the ride! =)
Very true! Part of the excitement of posting about something is you never know who is going to join in the conversation.
DeleteTony and I will hook you on a Ninja movie marathon one of these days!
DeleteHappy anniversary. :D
