I’m sitting at the computer, and I’m feeling exhausted. I’m trying to drum up the energy to write another anniversary post. I can’t believe I’ve been writing this blog for seven years. Sure, it seems like it’s on life support sometimes, but somehow it has chugged along.
Awesomely Shitty can’t die no matter how hard Hollywood or I try. At this point, this blog is a mythological creature like a vampire or a Terminator or John McCain. It’s unbelievable that it has lasted for this long.
My favorite part of this blog is all the cool people I’ve met over the years. Maybe we haven’t actually met and had a beer together in real life, but meeting online is still a form of meeting. There are great regulars who never fail to drop by and leave a comment even though I’m too lazy to comment on their websites. I love all of you.
And there are the jackasses, too. The ones that think I’m an idiot because I didn’t like their favorite anime, or I’m too immature to understand art-house cinema, or I’m a virgin because I didn’t like Red Dead Redemption. But I write the blog for them, too. I get a kick out of how furious people get over words (opinions) on a computer screen.
I’m glad that people read this blog and get a reaction of some kind. That’s the whole point. Why would anyone read a blog that loved everything or only gave synopses of movies without an opinion?
Sometimes my posts are funny, and I’m glad I made you laugh and brightened your day for a few moments.
I write this blog for everyone, but mostly I write it for myself. I’d like to think I will keep writing it until I die. And who know, maybe I will? But probably not.
In all honesty, I don’t know how many more posts this blog has in it before it joins the thousands of others that will sit on the WordPress servers, defunct, until the end of time.
Here’s to seven years of Awesomely Shitty, and who knows how many more!
Happy anniversary! 🙂 It’s funny how weird people can get when you don’t agree with their opinions on a movie…
Thanks for dropping by. Yes, people are the weirdest.
Congrats on Seven years ! Been enjoying posts!
Thank you. I’m glad you keep coming back to read them.
Congrats!! 🙂
Thanks!!
I reserve the right to be thoroughly infuriated with you at some point in the future. Congratulations on 7 years!!!
Lol! Everyone gets mad at me for attacking their favorite movie sooner or later.
Congrats on 7 years! It really is an achievement doing a blog that long. I only found awesomely shitty in the past few weeks and have been enjoying the older posts as well. Funny stuff man 😀
Thanks. I’m glad you are enjoying the blog.
Congratulations! I’m so impressed. I never managed to keep blog alive for longer two or three years. I hope You keep it up, it’s fun to visit.
I’m glad you like visiting. Blogging this long is a drag sometimes, but I’ll keep doing it while I can.
I’ll raise a glass to that. Congrats Brik. Always find your blog to be a breath of shitty air.
Thank you, Jaina. It’s always great to hear from you.
Your tastes are still awful, doc 😛
Thanks. I knew I hadn’t changed much in the last seven years.
and only 8 people give a shit. that says all 😀
You gave a shit enough to reply, so it’s actually nine. 😉
That’s more then one per yer
lol
We have had our differences, but I have always liked you without any sense of irony (surprising as that may be to some).
Speaking of irony at its most cliché and popularly misconstrued, your old “fuck you hipsters” post practically changed my life even more than Evangelion and the audiovisual tomes of Nolan did. More on that here: https://awesomelyshitty.wordpress.com/2010/07/17/fake-indie-movies-aka-fuck-you-hipsters/#comment-21113 .
Never change, Doc. I sincerely hope real life is treating you and your family quite well.
Life’s pretty good, Hal. Thanks for dropping by and commenting. I never had any problem with you on EGF. I hope life is also treating you well.
