Happy Two Year Anniversary

On By somegeektoldme@gmail.comIn Blogs, Social Media

I know the world is a little crazy at the moment with the World Cup; climate change; interest rates and cost of living rising; Russia forgetting how to read a map; the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has survived past five weeks; and Twitter is doing what Twitter does best; trolling people.

Having said that, I just wanted to point out that this week, I’m celebrating two years of Some Geek Told Me. In the history of humanity, this achievement is not quite ready to be cemented into the history books, but that’s ok with me.

So looking back over another year, what have I learnt?

  • I’m still enjoying this, though my pay rate is still pretty bad. I mean after two years, I still haven’t had a pay rise. I’ll have to continue on with my $0.0 hourly rate.
  • Every time someone leaves a comment, I’m like a kid that has just been told the school has been flooded and I need to stay home.
  • My wife reading one of my posts, just to remind me that I’m not as funny as I think I am.
  • I still get halfway through writing a post, then realise that it’s not humorous at all.
  • I’ve created a list for future blogs, by writing down key words. I just need to remember what the key words mean.
  • Proofreading and editing my work at 11 pm is still a stupid thing to do, but I’m still doing it.
  • Various sports this year featuring World Cups, have greatly aged me, along with help from UMC1 and UMC2.
  • I told my parents about the blog and they wanted to know if I got paid for it. I changed the topic very quickly.
  • I’ve written about various people in pop culture that have died this year, but I failed to write about all of them.
  • I should do more reviews about different projects that I like, while trying to sound funny; emphasising on being funny.
  • I’m not reading enough content of the amazing bloggers out there.
  • I’m still trying to create some more entertaining science communication posts, but still sounding original.
  • It’s the Kiwi in me, but I’m still trying to promote the blog, without promoting the blog.

That’s it for today. I know this post was small, but I have another blog post coming out on Thursday. Thanks for reading, go watch the World Cup, walk your dog, read a banned book and I’ll see you on Thursday.
