Today I celebrate the second anniversary of starting this blog. Two years ago after seeing the Jackie Robinson biopic '42' I sat down at my desk in my dorm room at Ball State and started this up. What's changed in the two years since I've started this?
Well...not a lot really.
TWO YEARS AGO: I was a broken hearted, single college student who saw way too many movies. I worked at a dining hall, I had a car, I spent way too much money on things I didn't really need, I procrastinated every now and then, had occasional writer's block when it came to certain movies, ate too much, drank too much soda, insert other college student stereotypes here. After seeing a movie I'd come back to my dorm room, sit at my desk, fire up my laptop and start churning out a review.
TWO YEARS LATER (CURRENT): Still single but I am a college graduate, complete with all the student loan debt that that entails. I work at a high school, I have a different car, I try to control my money spending, I don't procrastinate as much as I used to, I have writer's block more often than I'd care to admit to, still eat a little too much, still drink a little bit too much soda...and I'm living with my parents. After seeing a movie lately I've let my thoughts gather in my head for awhile...and a little while longer...then eventually I lay on my bed, fire up my laptop, and start typing away at a review. Sometimes I let the viewing numbers for certain posts get to me, other times I don't.
Okay so a fair amount has changed in this two year time period. Who knows what will change a year from now? Two years? Five? Ten? Who knows. Will I still be doing this that long? I don't know. I will keep doing this as long as I'm having fun and as long as people still keep on reading my thoughts on movies or whatever else I decide to write about.
If you've been a loyal reader, thanks. So far it's been a fun ride and I hope to still ride a little bit longer. Year 3 will be interesting indeed.
