Today marks the 21st anniversary of this blog. I started it on this date, May, 21, 2005. I didn't really know what to expect but was gung-ho to jump on this new form of communication called a "blog". At the time there were literally thousands of blogs popping up on the web. As you are probably aware, since then many of the blogs that existed have gone away or have been abandoned by the authors. There have been several times when I thought I was done with "The Anti-Post".
My favorite topics have been sports related. I love writing about my beloved Missouri Tigers and ripping on Major League Baseball's incompetence. I also love to rip on local and national media when they screw up or attempt to pass off commercials as news. (It happens more frequently now, then it did 21 years ago. Now, you'd be surprised how many stations are compensated for news coverage or product placement).
Sometimes it's been a blast to write for, God only knows, who reads this. Other times its been a drudge to find a topic and write. My current goal is to post at least once a month. So, with this birthday post I've doubled my average monthly production!
I will keep writing as long as I'm able if you will keep reading. I very much appreciate your patronage!
