If you missed the January issue of Good Times Magazine, check out our Rubber Side Down article Short Ride, Take it Easy. We have a regular column that appears monthly.
You can pick up an issue at the beginning of the month in a variety of places around town including Barnes & Noble, Hastings, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jason’s Deli, The Hemingway, Swensen’s, IHOP, Murray’s Deli, Strawberry Fields, Chili’s, Abuelo’s, The Garlic Press, Dos Amigos, and Blockbuster-just to name a few.
You hear about someone that “He’s a legend in his own mind” and you think in your mind “He doesn’t have a clue”. So admittedly, we suspect we really don’t have a clue, but in our minds we have reason to celebrate.
This very post you are reading is our 100th post! Yippee!!!! For a couple of kids who, most of the time, don’t know their head from a hole in the ground and certainly didn’t have any concept of how big the blogosphere really is when we started this blogging adventure, we figure we’re doing pretty good–for us anyway.
We started this thing in May06 with the idea of blogging about motorcycling and some of that we have done. But we have also evolved to include all kinds of other stuff. Notice we changed our tag line to read “an eclectic mix of motorcycling, media, mania or whatever suits our fancy”, which is really just code for “we have no idea where we are going with this deal, so let’s make up something that sounds intriguing”.
None the less, while other bloggers might be posting 3-4 times a day, we figure 100 posts in 9 months is good for us and sufficient reason to celebrate. And who better to celebrate with than our faithful an loyal readers who gave us a reason to keep on blogging in the first place.
I guess really what we have learned from this deal is that blogging is like most other things in life. If you just put yourself out there instead of trying to make it perfect first, you get alot further and discover some unexpected gifts along the way. In short, just start and let the creative process take you wherever you are supposed to go. It’s more fun that way.
Aside from celebrating our 100th post here at PigletPaper, we also have other news to share. Ronn has learned that his style is the nifty tips, tricks and cool stuff that he finds, so he is now authoring another blog called BeatnikBiker. Lisa, on the other hand, has learned her niche is the philosophical, life analogy kind of posts, so she is authoring another blog site called LifeWonderments. As the creative process has led us to branch out, PigletPaper will continue to evolve. We don’t know how or when, we just know we like it and we are keeping it.
And finally, we decided that we are really glad life is a process and not an event. If it weren’t, we wouldn’t get the opportunity to open so many presents that life delivers to our doorstep, sometimes in ugly wrapping paper, but always one day at a time.
