Today marks the 2nd anniversary of my personal weblog. Yes, two years ago I made the conscious decision to catalog and document my thoughts, opinions, views, stories: my life. And while you may not get the entire picture of what it is like to be Derek, you will get a glimpse at what’s going through my head at any given day.
I really have to thank my friends and family for religiously checking this small corner of the internet day in and day out, as it gives me the motivation to carry on with my writing. I also would like to thank all you weird-ass mother effers out there that continue to search for pictures of Melissa Joan Hart; you really help my visitor stats reach the daily double digits. Seriously, what the fuck are you doing with your lives that you actually have time to do a google search for some chick who hasn’t been in the public eye for almost an entire decade.
To commemorate my 2nd full year of blogging, I have gone through and grabbed a few links to some of the posts that stick out in my mind.
- Semi-Cool Trail and OC Fortune – The one that started it all
- You’ll Never Find A More Wretched Hive… – Talking shit on LA, my new home
- Melissa Joan Hart – The post that single-handedly got me a steady stream of visitors
- My Rad Halloween Costume – Because it was the best costume ever. Also Marty’s comment made me laugh out loud
- My Rad Dream – I wish I could always have dreams like this
- First is the Worst, Second’s the Best – I actually put a little thought and research into this one
- Sony Ericsson W800i – A cellphone retrospect which might have to be updated now that I have an iPhone (Steve is paying me $100 in Apple Bucks)
- Requiem For A Chair – One of my all-time favorite stories
- Tazers Are The New Black – Some of the best videos ever
- Otter Pops: The Perfect Summer Treat? – I just liked this one


Happy birthday, Goodbye Mailbox Blog. You’ve given me plenty to do when I was bored, procrastinating, etc etc. Keep up the good work.
