I can't remember how many platforms or blogs I've had, but I know that all of them have ended in failure, primarily to some form of a terms of service violation, where some bastards decide I've gone too far and they will now make me pay by deleting all of my work. Not Blogger. In celebration of them never deleting me, I have decided to do a retrospect. I don't really know what that means, but I'm compiling a list of ten blogs that were the most popular, and ten blogs that pissed the most people off, in no particular order. Okay, make that two each, because I'm lazy.
The most popular blog I ever did here was the one calling for a boycott of RZA's Soul Temple Music for ripping people off. There was both a Facebook and Twitter account who did most of the heavy lifting so I cannot take credit for doing any of that. However, when it comes to blogs, the tides quickly turned once someone put up an awesome posts about it and damn, they must have read it. My subsequent followups also rank in the top five most popular as well. Normally I wouldn't apologize for singling someone out, and there is nothing abnormal about this day so I won't, but expect an Insanislupus vs. U-God album in the near future.

The second most popular blog entry was me telling people what horror movies they should watch. My initial plan was to give my thoughts and opinions on all the films I was going to watch for the October Horror Movie Challenge, but then I got tired of doing that and decided to just go with a list. Start your journey.

The thankful theme takes the cake as the most enjoyable and my favorite thing of all time to write about on this blog. Rather than blast something on a regular basis, I did the daily challenge of being thankful for the ordinary things you all take for granted. It's what inspired me to write daily, since it was a busy time in my life and I soldiered through it like the warrior I am. But don't take LaVar Burton's word for it.

Now to my own personal favorite blog entry. It's a tough choice, but I'm going to go with "Stop Making Up Stories On the Internet." That was a close one, but it's certainly died down a bit, at least where I look. For awhile there we had to sit through these ridiculous stories about how courageous people were because of their deeds that never really happened, followed by their bullshit attempts at being modest and not wanting recognition for what they pretended to do. Confused? Read away.
