One-Year Anniversary

     This blog is about to have it's first birthday! So we should find some episodes of "MacGyver" on Netflix and eat a Snickers to celebrate. Or something...

      Anyway, it's been a year full of changes. Graduated high school, moved off to college, survived the first semester, traveled to a couple different states(Now been to 12 of 50), learned to juggle, and figured out how to play mandolin.

     This was the first post: http://anotherloveroftheblade.blogspot.com/2012/02/this-is-my-favorite-book-in-all-world.html
     I have included some odd lists, and there's been plenty of random quotes and literary references sprinkled in often. Probably more American Idol recaps than anyone really cared about, but...oh well.
Not as many thoughts on Bible passages as I'd expected, but maybe that can be fixed coming up, thinking of going through one of the books verse-by-verse.

     And if you were wondering how the blog got its' name... http://anotherloveroftheblade.blogspot.com/2012/02/so.html
    
     Michael Jordan turned 50 last Sunday, so there was lots of reflections written about the man and his legacy. He had one goal: To be the best. At everything. And he mostly succeeded. The greatest basketball player of all time, and a fascinating man to study.

     Today is the 33rd anniversary of The Miracle on Ice, which a lot of people consider one of the greatest sports moments of all time, right up there with The Immaculate Reception. Definitely one of the most influential moments in sports history, it's one of those stories you always love hearing about over and over again. (Never have seen the movie...wonder if it's any good.) I've never really understood what, exactly, it is that makes hockey such an interesting sport, but it is. Always kind of enjoyed it, I think the Mighty Ducks movies had something to do with it, and Wayne Gretzky. Sort of like soccer on ice...always wished I knew how to skate really well, looks like fun to play.

     Only about ten weeks until this semester is over...yay. (So why does each day crawl by?)

     Well, this makes the 111th post, that's about one every three days, or basically about the same rate as I was doing for newspapers. A few people read it, and hopefully they've liked it, brightened people's day. And it does give me a good excuse to keep on writing.
