Doppelganger year in review

Well, it's been a fantastic year here at the the doppelganger. With 4 posts in the bag, a dozen readers, and a poem worthy of Frost, I'd say it was a year worth remembering.

To recap, we had a slow November and a quiet beginning to December. But wow, on or about the 29th we accomplished a significant milestone in this blog...yep...we started it. Ever since then its been nothing short of two more posts. A blistering pace if ever I saw one. I probably won't keep up that kind of momentum in 2007, but I'll try to focus more on quality.

Except for the poetry

As a year end present, I'm sending out 2006 with a god awful poem and a video of a fireworks warehouse catching fire and exploding.

See ya next year


2006
you were my girlfriend for a whole year
you stuck by me for 365 days
8760 hours
and lots of minutes and seconds that I can't count
cause my calculator broke
but I must let you go
I've found a prettier partner
2007
I like her because she is here
and you are dead

Fireworks factory/storage in Seest, Kolding, Denmark on fire and exploding, rendering whole neighbourhood uninhabitable.

The Naming of PD

What to name a fresh new baby blog. It would seem easier if I were going to write about a particular topic like tech toys or saltwater catfish (or new gadgets used to catch saltwater catfish). It'd be cute and synergistic somehow. Perhaps if I was in a band I could find a synonym for destruction and something that rhymes with blood...shazam...new blog name.

Unfortunately, I'm not that focused or musically gifted (save that one semester in middle school where I was the undisputed 2nd chair alto sax man...out of two of us)

This blog name is a work in progress and open to suggestions (I had meant to name it God Awful Poetry for the sheer irony and pretty accurate description of what you will find here, but alas it was taken). Ergo, the special God Awful Corner. The current name comes from my desire to tap into that alter-ego part of us all where we want to say things we are thinking but do not have the forum in our daily routine. With that being said, I don't intend to use a blog to propagate hateful speak. In fact, I want to use the modern tools of blogging to extend critical thinking memes to others outside of my immediate circle. I just hope you'll dig my doppelganger
