The Brain Farts of Dan Hellbound

Like the sands through the hourglass, the last few hours of 2007 are passing. Around evening, people are going to blast their fireworks as many as they can, set up some grand “pigging out” with all of those sumptuous food to consume and party all night.

And in closing, I, The Hell Bent, would like to have a rundown of all things that became a foundation of my roller coaster ride this year. Shall we start?

Blogging became a definite part of my life this year. Around the third week of April, I sent my druids to other humble web acres and broadcast the good news - my blog, that is - at them. Since then, Malebolge gained a readership. I only get a few comments - but at least that’s better than 1 or 2 reactions per entry.

I would like to thank the following who have passed by my online refuge of brain farts [even those who have gave comments only once or twice] and to the ones I’ve already met personally: Ann, Fruityoaty, Neil, Juice, Arnel, Christian, Skye, Jake The Miserable, Monique, Talamasca, Coy, Irvin, Agent Grey, Cars, Jhed, Mike, Ade, Arnel, Euri, Billycoy, Aaron James, Arlo, Jennifer, Chabs, Karlo, Joe, Pat, Jigs, Paolo Mendoza, Reymos, Charlene, Kim, Rens, Karla, Jed, Liz, Ikay, Yna, Shari, Ms. Janette Toral, Anna, Xienah and Kevin.

To the loyal readers, thank you very much. To the one-time readers [now 2-time], thank you very much. Thanks for giving a damn about Malebolge, I appreciate it.

And I would also like to thank my buddy for her overwhelming support. Cheesy as it may sound and awkward as it may hear from the mouth of a evil entity, I want to say that I miss your comments. They’re not lengthy, but it didn’t matter.

Druid no. 10: That’s so cheesy of you, Your Majesty.

Dan: Shut up.

If Kevin missed his blog anniversary, so am I.

Yes, The Hell Bent’s existence on the blogosphere is officially a year old. It all started on the 15th of December last year, where I am lurking around the World Wide Web and got bored. But that boredom leads to something that became a big part of my life already. It became a passion. And I’m glad that I got bored at that time.

Like a student walking on a journey of learning, I have met a lot of mentors who have taught me great wisdom through their mind-nourishing writings. And I mean, a lot.

Billycoy influenced me badly with his migraine-acquiring posts and his quote about drinking alcohol that he uttered at me when we first met. Now, my imagination got broader and my anatomy is begging for alcohol to flow into my veins. Age-wise, Kevin is months older than me yet he writes like a best-selling author. My passion for writing grew fonder with his captivating way of expressing himself. With Jhed’s straightforward posts [especially the ones about sex], I became more “in your face” in real life and liberal. Well, almost. And my brain is greener than my school’s official color now.

Yes, those 3 persons are my favorite bloggers ever. With big emphasis on the word “ever”. I’m glad that I’ve met them personally. It’s a huge honor. Continue reading ‘1 Year of Ink Spilling.’
