Happy Birthday to … US!

Admin by Admin

birthday

Ladies and germs, I’m happy to announce that today is the official one-year anniversary since halfguarded.com went live.  After years and years of being someone else’s bitch, it was time for ME to be the boss.  Sadly, I’m still the bitch to people but the site is also still here.  I win.  I had one goal when it started, “cover the monthly expenses.”  Even if it had a profit of $1 then I could say, “This isn’t a pure vanity project.  Good.”  We ain’t making millions but those six figure checks are rolling in every few weeks. (Maybe not.)

 

I’ve noted here and there about milestones: hitting 100k hits and such.  Yeah, umm, those days are waaaaaaay in the past.  We’re often doing in a day what we did in all of last July.  This stuns me.  This entire endeavor was started because I’m pretty sure people knew I needed a project to keep myself occupied with or else I’d have become some sorta unibomber.  It worked: I haven’t mailed a single bomb in months.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776: The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America

What’s more, I still don’t even know what this thing is, which maybe is a good thing.  I always had a simple rule for contributors: be good and don’t break any major laws.  I had this theory that if you let good people do what they want that they’ll produce great content.  What I didn’t expect was how great it would be; how diverse.  Everyone has taken that idea and run with it.

 

I cannot tell you all how grateful I am to “the staff.”  Every single one of you, and I’m not even gonna bother listing all those who helped because I know I’ll leave someone off on accident, mean the world to me.  I’m humbled when I get a new submission and think, “Wow.  This is amazing.”

 

I love knowing that we broke what is still the single most under-reported story over the past year, the specter of the UFC PED policy ending career’s for non failures, and a poem to Takanori Gomi.  But I’m also in love with reading about weird children’s TV shows from England (shudder), stories on student tuition fees, unsolicited advice that will soon become solicited, a comic podcast that I personally see as a challenge to match in terms of quality, parody pieces that were good enough people really bought them, and the fact that we’ve had anti and pro Trump pieces, anti and pro religion – everything is covered.

 

As for the future?  It’s truly bright.  This week we have a ton of interviews, with Dan Severn already having been up (DAN SEVERN!) and the incredible and beautiful Angela Magana (hey, I have her number so I’m gonna push it until I’ve made her mine or she beats the shit out of me)(you doubt but you also would’ve doubted that this thing would grow into the beast it is).

 

That’s a fitting way to end this post, I think: me making it awkward.

 

Your sociopath,

 

Mike

PBS should be defunded completely. It is an arm of propaganda that serves no legitimate purpose in today's society.

    Probably if it didn’t take half a day to get a post approved by moderators , discussion would happen.
