life begins anew

i figured after the last morbid subject line (followed by an entry that was far from morbid) i could do with a more “perky” subject line…

…so here we are.

writing the first new entry of the new year AND new decade (yet still the same ol’ week – go figure). i realized about 12:15 last night (while sipping goblet two of three of veuve) that this technically marks the second decade the whore has been around…not bad. it’ll be eight years i’ve been going at this as of february and we now hover close to 500 hits a day (the counter at the bottom is a little off in its accuracy – but it’s free, so what do you want?). before some of you start going “500 hits a day? why aren’t you getting paid for this?!?” keep in mind that of those 500 hits approximately 362 of them are people who are looking for ACTUAL whores (mostly in the houston, texas, area who’s baseball team is the houston astros so my url attracts them in droves) or porn and another 128 of them are people trying to spam my comments section (hence the “4,000,000 russian spammers can’t be wrong” header i had for a while there – i seriously once logged on to find i had 165 comments awaiting approval and ALL of them were spam) and so that leaves about ten of you that are ACTUAL readers…

…that’s why i don’t get paid.

but it’s a new day, a new year, and a new decade (this is being written 10:18am 1/1/2kX) and since LAST year i proclaimed it my “lucky year” only for me to lose my dell job (i genuinely think that WAS lucky) and tish (that wasn’t lucky) i’ll keep my mouth shut on proclamations, declarations, predictions, and other “tions” for the year – let’s just say this time next year let’s all be in a better place than we are this time this year, regardless of how good or bad that place may be…deal?
