I got no idea where the time has gone, but Friday will mark the 1 Year Anniversary of this blog.
Since beginning last Halloween, there have been 336 post written on this site (including this one) which is a pretty healthy number if I do say so myself. It's been an absolute blast so far and I'd like to think that being here and doing this everyday has not only been a great help to me as a vehicle for improving my writing, but it's also been both educational and entertaining at times.
In fact, that's going to be the new description in the title box: I Blog Because I Can - Quality Canadian Edutainment!
Anyway, I thought I'd use today's Rundown to look back at the five posts I've enjoyed the most over this year. Whether it's because of what it means to me, the number of comments and discussions it got started or just because it was totally retarded and kept me laughing.
Since I'm showing you mine, it means you have to show me your's later... deal?
Top Five First Year Posts
The second post in the history of iBlog, this one not only kept me laughing for hours after I finished because I'm very much that guy who laughs at his own jokes, but also became fairly topical shortly thereafter because Memorial University was actually trying to bring Douchebag Dane in for a show. Needless to say, I let everyone and anyone know how much I despise the unfunny funny man.
I made fun of a lot of customers from my various places of employment over the course of the last year, but this one was easily the funniest. Dude came into Blockbuster out east looking for porn and when told him to go to Jumbo across the road, he scoffed as their selection wasn't up to code. Absolutely hilarious...
3. Anything About Britney or Lindsay or Megan Fox
Not because I get to run a picture of a scantily clad skank to draw in the casual surfers who Stumble Upon site, but because these ridiculous tramps always - and I mean always - provide some kind of material to write about. I mean, I know it's usually them being totally moronic or breathing our precious air. Plus, I would bet that I've written more posts about them combined than anything else. I'm too lazy to actually count, but feel free if you'd like.
These pieces have been special to me not only because I love writing about music and they help shed a little light on my inspirations to all of you who read this site, but because I've helped turn some people onto new bands and songs and music and that is awesome. Newt loves Mark Ronson and out East my girl E used to have a Spencer Playlist on her iPod consisting of all the Soundtrack songs. That's the ultimate right there as far as I'm concerned.
These three posts are my favourites because of everything surrounding them. The sudden illness and passing of my grandfather back in May made me reassess some things in my life and take stock of what is really important. Sadly, it took his passing for me to realize just how important and influential he is in my life. I also really enjoyed getting the opportunity to introduce all of you an incredible man.
There. You've seen mine... show me your's in the comments section!

Off the top of my head:
The one where you said you didn't like Hulkower.
Then ones where you got huffy about your reception in the comments of The Starting Five.
The ones where you're kind of prudish.
Anything about dance movies, especially Choreographer Thursdays.
Anything about shopping and fashion.
The one where you were all mopey about having a Facebook following stuck in the single digits.
Ones where you get all excited about seeing your name in print.
Ones about the family, the dog, or the bride-to-be.
The one about that thug on the Flyers.
The other stuff has occasionally been readable as well.
I liked the one about the baseball and Marc Ecko. I read a lot of comments about those few posts!
Also, anything top 5 related... especially movies.
Oh yeah.. the soundtracks are always great. There are only a few tracks that I didn't see in the same fame as you had. I would have to say that 90% of them were either already favorites or now in "regular rotation".
hmm!
all dishonour rolls!
and any post where you claimed to quit smoking!
(though i've come to the conclusion that you LIE!)
