Blogiversary: 2 Months, 300 Posts!

Greenlee Gazette has reached some more minor milestones. Our second-month anniversary is officially August 2, but the beginning of the month feels a little easier to remember, so we'll back-date by a day. And given my inauspicious goals at the beginning, I'm proud to say we're past 300 posts!

Sure, they weren't all gems. But even what might seem to be filler has been posted for a reason. For the casual (read: accidental) reader, this blog might seem a bit disjointed. I do veer wildly from goofiness to seriousness, from Bush-bashing to Buffy-loving. I know. I'm like that. Fortunately so is my circle of friends, wildly careening from topic to topic, funny to gravely serious. Variety is the spice of life.

I would like to once again clarify my mission here, by giving you an insight into the mind of your friendly Greenlee Gazeditor. One thing you learn how to do when you're single for your first 31 years, is to self-debate. So the following is my internal dialog, as it relates to my blog. I may or may not be crazy.

Your blog is nothing but links to other sites.

Largely, sure. But so are most others. The Drudge Report consists of little else. At least I try to provide context, and elaborate on my reasons for posting. I even often post long editorials on the posts I'm linking to. So there.

You cheat by posting fun videos for no reason.

No. Every YouTube post I've put on has been something I really am interested in. Be it music, politics, or the opening to Laverne & Shirley it is a snapshot of one of the files in my brain. Not only that, my goal isn't only to educate, but to entertain. I want you to have something to do here. Have fun while you're learning. Oops, that sounds too haughty. I don't deign to think that I'm smarter than you. Only that I may have heard something or seen something that may not yet have come across your radar.

You are a far-left-wing lefty moonbat, who has "Bush Derangement Syndrome."

Guilty as charged. But far-left these days means disagreeing with Ann Coulter. Far-left means you ain't drinking the kool-aid. I'm OK with that. And if "BDS" does exist, it has endless reasons, and is therefore a legitimate condition.

You are an attention whore, and this site is nothing more than vanity.

Oh, brain, you don't know me! I hate nothing more than to be the center of attention! But I am finding the relative anonymity of the web to be a comfort. I am enjoying (greatly) the opportunity to express myself and be creative, and to share it with the world. Without y'all staring at me while I do it.

OK, brain, enough from you. Thank you contributors. Thank you supporters. Thank you if you're reading. Bring others! I once again encourage you to comment if a post strikes a chord. Am I way off base? Let me know! Tear me to ribbons, or buff me to a fine glow. I just want to interact and bring the best experience I can to you the reader. Dead serious.
