It’s a rainy Sunday here in #Tampa Florida and for the first time in over a month I actually have some time to get on here and get a few things done, it feels good to relax and even better that I got out of that nasty mood. I can’t remember exactly when it was that I first realized my blog was approaching the 1000 post milestone, I do know it feels like it was about two months ago. Posting has been slow around these parts, haha.
I wanted to throw out a quick thank you to everyone that has been reading this blog from way back in the beginning, or before it was even a blog and right up to my current readers and those of you that subscribe to my rss feed. This blog really took off in the later part of 2009 and reached milestones like 15,000 comments, which really surprised me. Actually the fact that anyone reads this crap still amazes me.
1,000 Blog Posts.. Now what?
Well the first thing I intend to do is is show my appreciation to those of you that were nice enough to leave a comment and submit your recommendations for what you thought my 1000th post should be. I will be putting together my “1000th Post Request Series”, this series will address each of the requests that were made by all of you my readers and Facebook fan Page fans.
There will be plenty of link juice over the next couple of days for those of you that commented and have blogs or websites of your own as I will be crediting whoever made the request in each of my posts. Somewhere along the way I will probably put together a little contest as another way of saying thanks, but for the moment I won’t be doing any contests until the Extreme Tan and Smoothies $1000 Tan for Cash Giveaway is done.

That’s funny because I had to take a peek at my dashboard and see I’m @ 599
Congrats on that. I saw your pool pic earlier then saw the end of the race they showed a little pickup in a big puddle. Sometimes rains days are the best and it’s always good to readjust and relax the mind.
