The Lonesome Crowded West

Nine years ago today, I launched this web site.

I have now devoted over a third of my life to it.

As Adam Riff™ enters its tenth year, I increasingly wonder if I foolishly held fast as people moved on to MySpace and Facebook and texting and Twitter and Tumblr and Gchat and careers and spouses.

One more year…

    I have absolutely no idea how you do it, day after day, year after year but I certainly appreciate it. Keep up the good work!

    I only made it 6 years before I collapsed. Glad you're still around and holding on.

    Also, you're fucking insane.

    So how old is the site…and what counting are you using? Asian systems like to add one or two years on just for kicks.

    A decade is a most respectable passage of time, then you just must have to bust.

    and bustin' makes me feel good.

    Hamsterstyle being 'active' is questionable. I definitely still own it and as you can see, still have shit on it. That's about the extent of it right now.

    I have no idea what this blog is about, yet it's literally the only blog I read everyday. Except of course when it's card game week or guy poorly imitating Jackass day.

    Jon you know how much I enjoy your site and your late night peppering me of questions about if something is funny or not.
