This is post number 3,935 on this here blog. By December 13th, this blog’s 20th birthday, I’m hoping to make it an even 4,000 posts because I love symmetry: 4,000 posts over 20 years averaging out to 200 posts a year. That’s a lot of fish and GIFs.
Earlier this year I was skeptical I would make 4,000 given these days anything close to 150 posts in a year is daunting. But in the last 6 months I cut that number down by more than half (January and June have been solid months) and with just 65 more posts until 4,000 I can almost taste it.
But why? What’s in it for me? Fame, glory, and riches? Yes, of course, but besides all that I like the idea of blogging towards something. Just like I enjoy hiking when an awesome Italian meal and a glorious vista of the Dolomites awaits. I already know I’m 4life, but the idea of building in a sense of purpose for what has become a regular habit makes the whole process that much more enjoyable.
I love blogging. I love that I’ve been blogging for almost twenty years straight. I also love that I may live to see post 4,000 on what was just a throw away experiment two decades ago. You never know what little things you start will make a huge impact on your life. Long live the bava!
Che viva il Bava indeed!
