Seventeen

Well, she was just seventeen...

Out of respect to the 2 Beatles who are are still alive, I'll spare you my singing.  But you know what I mean!

This pretty lil blog started in 2008, a whopping 17 years ago.

Wow. 

(Incidentally, do you remember being 17? It was pretty awesome. Picture 1990, I was a senior in high school zooming around the suburban streets of Pine Brook, NJ in my white Volkswagen Jetta with my little bro, hair fluffed high from the 80s while belting out mixtape tunes from the 90s starring Depeche Mode, The Smiths and The Cure. Ahhhh goodtimes.)

Anway, I really believe if I keep blogging, it will come back into fashion like it was in the early 2000s. Just like my jorts.

And my perm and scrunchy socks.

Okay, okaaay, let's not get crazy.

So, as we've done in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 - 2022, 2023 aaand 2024, let's take a look back at the past year...
