It's Our Anniversary

Yo. A few weeks ago I realized that we had past the blog's 1-year anniversary without a commemoration. That's not wassup. I was gonna do like a little year in review, maybe some awards...but that's not gonna happen. But I will repost some links to some of my favorite blogs. Get to clickin for a trip down memory lane:

NBA All-Star; Feb. 23, 2005: Do yall remember the rappin cowboy and the gangsta midget? I'll never forget em.

Tussin, Dex and Rine; March 09, 2005: This remains my favorite post. My Pops is probably the most unforgettable character I've come across. This one is him at his greatest.

I'm Not a Short-Order Cook; May 27, 2005: I spend waaayy to much time watching the Food channel. When I'm not watching FoodTV, I'm thinking about food/cooking. I also spend waaaayyyy too much time doin knowledge of the food/cooking/eating habits of family and friends. This post was a manifestation of that. Also, during this time, I was temping at various downtown DC offices and I did zero work, even if I was assigned to. Back then, during the summer, I used to say I blogged for a living. Every day I's step in the office and hit em with novel-blogs. I think this post was like 5,000 words.

Phrases that Payses: This one gets updated periodically. It's like the blog's dictionary.

The Good Life; June 09, 2005: Required for any Twist visitor or friend of mine. The term Good Life might me and the crew's lasting contribution to mankind. Meanwhile, J, my friend who wrote the column that motivated this post, is currently having a similar Black Love discussion on her blog.

Music Dude presents; June 09, 2005: The very first installment of Music Dude. It's basically a landmark. It's slightly less historic than the first Satchmo started scattin.

Frederick Fant; June 15, 2005: Another classic. A post about one of the co-workers at one of the offices I temp'd at. He was a classic Profiler, this nigga faked mo funk than a little bit.

Shame on America; June 22, 2005: My reaction to the conviction of Edgar Ray Killen, that bish at the helm of the Emmit Till tragedy. I was angry the day I wrote this, but meant every word of it.

Being Bobby Brown; July 06, 2005: Need I say anymore? A couple episodes had passed and I knew we were watching greatness.

Music Dude's seesion with Chuck; July 31, 2005: Required reading for hiphoppers.

My Landlord Mary; July 31, 2005: The blog introduces the woman that is now subject of periodic Wednesday's with Mary posts.

Juan the Janitor; August 11, 2005: Nothing like a hispanic cleaner to give a young, black Yankee a lil normalcy in South.

San Fran's Fong; Oct. 11, 2005: Me at my bigoting best.

Seniors! Ooo! Ooo!; Nov. 15, 2005: This remains my most profound experience with Florida's retirement community.

Free-ballin; Jan. 26, 2006: Y'ain't know Tom Petty and 'dem was my niggas? Prolly not. Betcha also didn't know, or want to know about my afternoon rockin jeans without underpants. But I divulged anyway.

That's about it. Keep comin back, though.
