Three years already?

Hey guess what? This little old blog turns three years old today. Three years that I've been getting up every morning to face this screen. My first post was so lame and I didn't tell anybody about it for a few days. But then I told friends and family and voila, an audience. Then I started seeking out others and found lots of retarded people like me writing about their life. And then, well, the rest is history. Like falling into a group of new friends at University, it became a fast obsession. It was the beginning of my summer vacation and this little hobby became a summer project, a project that has now gone on three years. Just for fun, I'm going to list a few of my favorite posts.

The ball
Note from spouse
Dog 'n spouse story
Love is....

I'm sure there's more that I like, these just came off the top of my head. I'm a bit alarmed at the number of half naked photos of myself. (for example here, here and here) Perhaps I've worked that out of my narcissistic self. Only time will tell (wink).

Happy Blogaversary! I liked the blog about spouse putting foot cream on his face. I enjoyed the piano playing. Memories, light the corners of my mind. Ed

Sunshine said...

My favourite are the ones about how you met Serge and how you snuck him across the border. :)

happy blogaversary!

Dude - NONE of us are minding the half naked photos! I say feed your demon narcissistic self!!

"...Perhaps I've worked that out of my narcissistic self...."

We certainly hope not! Why else do all of us stop by here on a daily basis - if not in such hopes? *grin*

Greg said...

Happy Blog-o-versary!! You sum up the experience so well, it sort of makes up for the fact that my three year date came and went a few weeks ago and I completely missed it!!

Was it *foot* cream? I thought it was an anti-dullness formula...

Enjoy your day off, no matter what the weather!

My adventures said...

Congrats? Happy Bloggiversary? What DOES one say? My "real" friends don't read mine and I'm hoping they'll discover it after I'm gone! Ha!

My adventures said...

After the ball story, I'm surprised you're still married, it speaks volumes about the strength of your relationship! Ha! And the "love is" story is priceless! Thanks for the morning laughs! Any more suggestions on your funny stories or do I have to go back and read the whole blog?

Lyvvie said...

*raises a glass* Cheers! Many more in the future! You're one of my favourite retards.*blush*

RJ March said...

Defintitely a retarded fan. Keep on keepin' on.

Snoskred said...

There's always room for more half naked photos of yourself, right? :)

Love your blog, always have, always will. ;)

Happy 3rd birthday! Your blog has become a part of my daily breakfast. Coffee and Tornwordo. Bagel and Crows. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Happy anniversary! I have been wondering what happened to all your HNT posts. That's what originally got me hooked. ;-) I love your "recap" and selection of best posts from the last three years.

Birdie said...

You've replaced my morning comics. Late to the scene, I had not seen any of those posts. Dude: those HNT shots are uhmazing. And nothing quite says love like ball shots and farts.

In between all these grins and gags, you sneak in something to make us think. Happy blogiversary, Torn. Thanks for the memories.

TED said...

I think you should be rewarded for not including "blogiversary" or any variant thereof in your post. Can I send you a toaster or something?

Also: congratulations.

Happy Blog Birthday!

My favorite post is when you and Serge went to the Tidal Bore in Moncton. That makes me laugh the laugh of a crazy retarded person every time I think about it!

Love ya!
-Rox

Marc said...

Congrats on your three year mark! I can soooo relate to the "Love is...." post - I guess it truly does mean love when you feel comfortable enough with someone to truly share 'everything'!

thanks!

Butch said...

I add my congratulations along with the rest of the commentors. Well done!

I think we've all be in that position when we send something off into cyberspace only to find out a microsecond later that it was attached and sent to the wrong person. My trouble is usually when someone sends me an email that has been "forwarded" to death, I respond to it forgetting that it will go to the person who started this mess. They sometimes, write back asking, "who the hell I am?"

"Egg-salad sandwiches." ;-)

GayProf said...

Happy blogiversary! I am glad that you are around.

Patricia said...

I'm glad you're still here. And I'm glad to be counted among the other retarded people :)

don said...

I loves The Ball. That certainly sounds like something that I would do.

Happy anniversary! Thanks for the references to the old posts as well. I found nothing at all wrong with your first post. I don't always comment but I'm usually here to read your posts every day. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

"A song for Steve Sherman" is what totally won me over your blog, Torn.

Java said...

Happy three years! I came to this party fairly recently and haven't seen any of the HNT posts before. My, my! That's more than half nekkid, btw.

You tell a good story. You live an interesting life.

Did Serge wake up to the sing-song "time to wake up" or did you have to get louder?

Anonymous said...

I forgot about the Anti-dullness cream. Serge got that for his face even though he was advised that maybe he needed it all over. The foot cream turned his face red. It was a great video. Ed

Polt said...

I see nothing, I repeat, nothing to be alarmed about in the HNT photos. I'm more alarmed that we're not getting any HNT photos now. :)

Congrats. My anniversary is coming up next month. Three years as well!

HUGS...

A Lewis said...

Do you want a birthday spanking? Happy happy days ahead.

mainja said...

blogging is weird and wonderful isn't it? i had a friend who once refered to a group of bloggers who all read each other as 'you know, our blogging circle of friends' confident in the idea that we were friends, even if we hadn't met in person. it's pretty fun.

happy anniversary.

I love the one where you're just wearing your camera. Very Diane Arbus.

justabamaguy said...

Wow, half naked photos...man, I bet your stats just shot up through the roof now. And us readers didn't have to scour the whole blog of information to find them. Hope you are Serge are both doing well...I'm in California visiting...as you can see from the blog!!

dykewife said...

David said...

Mark in DE said...

Congrats on your blogoversary!

Thanks for the links to your favorite posts. I began reading after they were written so they were all new to me. Loved them, and commented on the original posts.

I think you should, ummm... (clears throat) continue with the HNT photos. I really liked them!

Mark :-)

Scooter said...

Happy blogiversary! You crack me up! :)

S said...

I'm older than you (online-wise) and you look younger than me (in the real world).

If I didn't like you, this is where I'd hate you.

Happy blogoversary!
