GOBAMA

Barack Obama’s win last night goes down as one of the major historical events of my lifetime — the kind of event that makes me remember where I was when it happened. The only other event like it that I remember clearly is the terror attacks on September 11, 2001. I was eating pizza at the La Famiglia pizza restaurant (now a Jimmy Johns) on the corner of E. William St. and S. State St. in Ann Arbor, MI when I heard, faintly on the store radio, that a plane had flown into one of the World Trade Centers. I was shocked — scared somewhat, although Ann Arbor didn’t seem like it would be next on the list of terror targets. I walked to the fishbowl and watched video news feeds on TV and on the web. It was a surreal moment — one I couldn’t believe was happening at the time.

Last night was equally memorable. I sat in the bedroom of my sublet watching the election results on both my computer and CNN HD. Next to me was my best friend and the one person I would most want to share a moment like this with. I smiled. I didn’t jump around. I just felt relieved and happy.

Then, this morning, while I was on my way to get donuts, I screamed, “GOBAMA!” a few times. What a tremendous moment in the history of the United States of America. Definitely not something I imagined I would see in my lifetime.

History and Hiatus

I’m at that point with Savechris.com where I want to delete everything and start over. I’ve been blogging for a few years now, as you’ll read below. I’ve never been able to stay on point or be happy with any one for very long. Deleting and starting over is easy with a tumble-log because most of the content is unoriginal.

With that said, here is a brief history of my blogs. I won’t be blogging for awhile.

Misconceptions

I’ve had several blogs over the years, none of which has stuck around that long. I started on Google’s Blogger with a blog titled, “Misconceptions.” It was a personal blog that was not focused on any particular topic. The only thing it did was accentuate how weird I can be from time to time. Some of the posts from that blog were adapted for a blog I wrote for Ruckus Network. I wrote under the alias Cyclops, a cartoon character developed by the production team. That didn’t last very long, either.

Yugflog.com

After ceasing blogging on “Misconceptions,” I purchased Yugflog.com, which I still own. Yugflog is “golf guy” spelled backwards. I started blogging about my personal endeavors on Yugflog, and did so off an on for nearly a year before turning it into the all golf blog that it is now. The thing is, I’m not crazy about blogging about only golf and thus my posting is sporadic at best.

SaveChris.com

I purchased Savechris.com during the summer of 2006 before I started law school. I wasn’t completely sold on going to law school at the time, so I bought Savechris.com thinking I would enact a “get rich quick scheme.” Thus, the “Save Chris” in Savechris.com was not initially meant to be “Stuff that Chris Saves,” but rather, “Save Chris from Law School.”
