This will be my final post of the year. I’m sure there are those among you (quite a few, I would imagine) who were hoping that it would be my final post of the century–but we all have our little disappointments to bear. No, if the fates allow, I’ll be here come hell or high water (even high blood pressure) offering up my own unique if rambling admixture of fact, fancy and clever hallucinations for your reading enjoyment…however questionable the fact, however outrageous the fancy, however dull the hallucinations and however weak the enjoyment may turn out to be.
I began this blog in mid-September and since that time I’ve learned quite a lot about the technical, marketing, literary, statistical, etc., aspects and nuances that comprise blogging; these appear to be in the thousands, and more appearing in the thousands everyday. To say that’s there much more to learn would be a gross understatement.
Arriving relatively late in the personal computer world, it wasn’t that long ago when the term “blog” was as strange to me as strange could be. Personally, I don’t like the word: “blog” sounded like “blob” which I thought was either a reference to some shapeless mass or the old Steve McQueen science fiction movie. While these pages don’t bear any association with the latter definition (I think), the former may be somewhat apropos as far as my critics are concerned.
If anything, my possibly numerous dissenters could lend me the wisdom and courtesy of some feedback. While this isn’t, admittedly, the best blog in cyberspace, it certainly isn’t the worst: there must have been something around here that tickled someone’s fancy. Whether you’ve arrived here intentionally or unintentionally, directly or indirectly, these words and images which you see don’t just magically (or tragically) appear but have a human agent behind them, in the form of this blogger. I welcome your comments, opinions and suggestions…your praise at a maximum, your insults at a minimum, and your constructive criticism truly constructive for a man who is constantly under construction.
Finally, I don’t waste time with New Year’s resolutions, rather I’m constantly and steadfastly resolved to go through each year as I am…besides, why open myself to inevitable failure? If everything goes alright, I’ll see you again in 2008. Thank you all so much for whatever interest you’ve shown in my Electric-Egg-Cream mania.
Special Thanks and Love to my newly-found friends: Andave-ya, a girl of refined and sophisticated taste (if I do say so myself); and, especially, Suzann Kale, a beautiful, intelligent and generous woman who could be found at “My Makeup Mirror” and the “Goddess Files” via my Links’ Page or my post Makeup & Goddesses at the link below:

Ooo, thank YOU! And HAPPY NEW YEAR. Although I’m in Texas, my heart is in the Apple, and at about this moment now, it’s 2008.
