BoWilliams.com is five years old today! Wow, I can’t believe it. This is the 1,824th post I’ve made. Wow, I can’t believe that either.

(That’s very, very close to a post per day, by the way.)

I think I’ve said before that I started this blog on the shallowest of whims, with no expectations of any kind. It’s such a part of me now. It’s therapy; it’s goofy fun; it’s whatever else happens, I can always go blog. It’s sparked some marvelous relationships for me. As clichéd as I’m sure it sounds, it’s helped me with self-discovery to a degree that I couldn’t have even contemplated.

Facebook has been really, really tough on old-school blogs like this. I think that for a lot of people, it occupies the space these once did. That riles the contrariness in me. That makes me think it’s that much more important to keep going.

Of course, blogs without readers are journals. This is definitely a blog, and you, ladies and gentlemen, make it so. Thank you so much for reading BoWilliams.com.

Onward!

Delighted to see the evil bastard finally meet a thoroughly poetic end.

Praise be upon him.

So I told you about Christians Gone Bad. Well, our pastor had a bit to say about Christianity and homosexuality last Sunday. That I can recall, it’s the first time he’s done so in the nearly four years we’ve attended Good Shepherd. I do believe it’s one of my favorite messages ever, embodying what I [...]

I was five years old on July 4, 1976. The American Bicentennial was a very big deal. My whole world turned red, white, and blue. The stars and stripes were everywhere. The United States of America was 200 years old, and you couldn’t be conscious and miss that fact. That sounds like a long time—hell, [...]

I am, of course, delighted with the result of the 2010 BCS National Championship game. Alabama has added another national title, making 2009 its most decorated season ever. The Process looks good from here, ladies and gentlemen. Let’s go get another one next year. I had fun hanging out with my family and the BamaDans, [...]
