365 Days Later

365 Day Post Challenge

A year ago, a dear online friend of mine posted an entry to her blog about becoming a slackass blogger and how she was going to vow to be better. She said she was going to post to her blog every single day for 365 days and with that post, several of her close online friends agreed to painstakingly follow suit so she would not have to do it alone. So on April 26, 2007, Smizzo and Friglet started their 365 journey. I was finally talked into it on April 30, 2007 and Monica agreed that day too. And there it was… we had to come up with something to say every single day for 365 days in a row.

Smizzo and Friglet lasted maybe a week and a half. Seriously, that is not a joke… if I did not totally love them, they would suck as best blogging buddies. Monica and I on the other hand stuck it out. We had made a commitment, and we were sticking to it, come hell or high water! Monica, I would like to take a second here and say that I would TOTALLY partner up with you for Amazing Race or something. Smizzo, Friglet? Not so much… but I love them and am totally looking forward to the next Vegas trip with them - or wherever we go.

So here is it, May 1, 2008 - yesterday was my very last day of blogging every single day… and what do I do? Do I take a well-deserved break? NO, I post again. I do not plan on slacking with my posting, because it has now become habit, but it sure will be nice on those nights that it gets late, and I have nothing spectacular to talk about, to be able to say F*CK IT and just go to bed, instead of throwing up some lame ass post about nothing. So there you have it. I set a goal (even though it was a dumb one), and followed it through to the end - it is a little bit satisfying!

That’s hilarious, I forgot Smizzo started it!  And was the first to quit. LOL!  I’m amazed that you and Monica hung in there - I couldn’t - and I think you two definitely should try out for Amazing Race!!!

You and Monica did a fantastic job! I liked getting that little update from you every day.

Keep doing it wink

You and Monica both deserve some kind of prize.
I know I couldn’t do it. Too much work!

PS.  I always hit “fantastic” and it NEVER shows up! :(

Congratulations to you and Monica for your stick-to-it-iveness! Is it possible that I’ll be able to keep up with the new posts in my feed reader now? Probably not, but no worries, because I love hearing what’s new in your lives! (Now, if only I could post more than twice a month myself.)

You know you want to be my Amazing Race bitch, don’t deny it.

I’ve actually never watched that show.  But I bet I could talk you in to it anyway! LMAO!

I love you. smile

Congratulations!!!
I never thought your posts were lame.....it’s like a journal, you just write it down no matter what it is.
PS I tried to hit fantastic too and it never works!

Thank goodness it’s over!

Slackers rule!


comment by Dena  on  05/01  at  07:22 PM

that’s great you guys stuck it out. I started my vow to post every day for a year like in february. Let’s see if I can keep it up. grin

LMFAO!  I am rolling at this post. 

Misty, you have to know that I had every intention of following through when I typed that.  BWAHAHAHA..who am I kidding?

Well, if you find that you miss posting every day, you are welcome to join Friglet and I - we are starting a NEW 365 the first week of June.  I am just sayin’....

My sides hurt! I swear, I love Dena! And I am so proud of you and Mon.  I miss you guys!

P.S.  About the Amazing race thing, don’t count me out as a partner just yet.  I could totally carry you when you got tired, because you’re all like a little person and stuff.  You could ride on my back if we had to tread water..  heart


comment by Smizzo  on  05/01  at  10:39 PM

thumbs up CONGRATS! grin

Ok….. Now you’ll have time to help get my site up and running! LOL!  So I too can be sucked down the drain and into the blog-pool.  It’s kind of warm down her… Ok.  Who peed in the water?  Oh how I can’t wait to stay up late racking my slightly aged brain for something witty, funny, or inspiring to say to draw in the attention of the readers.  Thank Misty, thanks! You sucked me in like a hooker on High Street and now due to my oppressive compulsive behavior I find this urge to look at this stuff at all hours of the day.  Kind of like when I found my step dads playboys in the garage, and would….  Ok I won’t go down that memory lane… Any who Ms. Misty Bravo! I say Bravo!

Cheers
Peepers

Congratulations!  It’s not easy to do anything for 365 days straight.  I commend you. smile


comment by Brad  on  05/02  at  10:31 AM

I still can’t believe I did that.
I think the 4 of us should try out for Amazing Race, OMG how much fun would that be??


comment by MissPrissy  on  05/05  at  11:15 AM

Way.  To.  Go.

That’s tough.  I’m still really proud of my streak.  But at the same time, man it’s nice not having the pressure to post.


comment by Delane  on  05/05  at  05:49 PM

Woo Hoo! Awesome!

Now you can rest peacefully knowing that even though you didn’t blog it won’t matter! ....Well at least not to you. We will still miss your random posts letting us know you have nothing to say because not posting isn’t clear enough.  HA!


comment by Sweet Yet Sassy  on  05/06  at  02:11 PM

That’s a really interesting project.  Too bad I joined the caravan after the ride was over, but that’s what archives are for.  I’ve thought about blogging a photo a day for an entire year, but seeing as I already DO blog one a day or more it might not be the ‘experiment’ that one makes it out to be.  But I’ve been thinking of doing a photographic project where I snap one particular item for an entire year and then editing it together into a film.  We shall see…
