Eighth Anniversary Eve

Lake McDonald
For the past four Summers, i’ve  written from here.

 

Eighth Anniversary Eve is today.

Eight years ago, on the eve of April Fools Day 2009, i was about to launch something that i thought was destined to fail.

Write five daily, differently-themed blog posts for 100 consecutive days.

So tomorrow, guess what, the ninth year begins.

When you ask yourself, what have i done to inspire myself, do you have a handful of astonishing accomplishments?

Falling asleep while blogging

statement of purpose
Yesterday i was struck by somemething the CEO said.

 

Falling asleep while blogging means it’s been a long day.

It began at 4am and now, just past 9pm, i’m finishing up the fifth daily post.

Ps. Just remembered that today, October 5, is the day Steve Jobs moved on to other worlds.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

The white space – no photo, no text, no message. No real life in real time.

i don’t think life would ever be the same.

April Fool’s Day 2016 is 29 days away

April Fool’s Day 2016 is 29 days away. Highly unlikely this blogging streak is secretly incredible. No one cares. So in the scheme of the Universe it is absolutely a secret.

Dear Son, the trail i’m leaving may be something you discover one day, and for years to come you may lean on it for understanding, perspective, hope, and motivation.

There is also the distinct possibility, you never care about any of this. It’s a body of work that has accumulated one single, solitary day at a time. It may become overwhelming for you.

i think the reason i kept writing after 100 days was because…

Imagine the perimeter of the four boxes being a fifth box – that’s our HQ, or head quarters, the paperwork of life.

 

i think the reason i kept writing after 100 days was because…

i am preparing to die.

We are all going to die.

This isn’t a radical or secret revelation. It’s simply the truth.

And we are either planning to die well or we are avoiding planning to die well.

i’m not saying the circumstances that will cause our death will be pleasant, i’m saying that regardless of how we die, we can have our affairs, our spirit, our relationships, in decent order.
