Today marks the second anniversary of my really having started blogging on this new site in earnest after being booted off Livejournal. (Which probably only sped matters up somewhat as at the time I’d been planning to move to a more independent platform anyway, but still, my thanks to LJ for giving me primo outlaw rebel credibility!) Honestly, it’s been a great experience, even if my tendency to write somewhat melodramatic and foul-mouthed diatribes about, well, pretty much anything has probably hurt my employability over the long run. I enjoy writing stuff, and I’m glad that you folks enjoy reading it.1
That having been said, the simple truth is that in about a year’s time I’m going to be busier than ever once I start my articling job.23 So over the next year what I’m hoping to do is find some interested/interesting people who might want to write here as co-bloggers; I like that this site generally manages to deliver a pretty high and constant rate of content and I’d like to ensure that that still happens when I’m working 14-hour days, even if my personal contributions have to lessen in scale somewhat. Applicants should send me an email, preferably with something they can point to in the “hey I done this” sense.
So anyway I will conclude this post by passing the hat around, as it is nearly time to pay money again for the site being, like, up, and I don’t want to put advertisements on my shit.4

- And believe me: I get solicited for ads all the time. It is kind of crazy. It’s not even form letters any more; it’s people who actually bother to comment on something I’ve written before asking me to sell them webspace to advertise their penis pump or whatever. [↩]

And yet, the joke is on them.

I’d apply but I’m not good for anything other than bitching about Greg Land and Rob Liefeld.
The solution is obvious. Turn it over to Flapjacks. Then duck and cover.

Either Canada has much lower standards for what is considered foul-mouthed or I’m reading too much Tucker Stone…
You need some science entries, maybe?
I’d love to, but there’s no way I could do anything better then a weekly update. Plus, my sample content is what I’ve already posted on this site. Unless you want me to send you an essay entitled “Why I Should Write for mightygodking.com”?
MGK,
Have you considered the possibility of setting up your own Cafepress or Zazzle account?
You are liked very well by your loyal readers and have a creative imagination. There should be no reason why you can’t establish your own line of items that your loyal readers could purchase and help fund your site with.
Don’t give up on donations, but you shouldn’t shut the door on revenue either.
Great, now I wish I had written a blog entry with any substance ever.
I’m generally awesome and you actually know me in person, but I suspect “random crap that grabs my attention” is not what your audience is looking for.
Happy anniversary!
I’d rather you blog less often, but still do it, than dilute your voice by turning a one-man show into a groupblog. I’ve stopped reading a few other blogs when similar events took place.
I agree with Dayv. I read this blog for your writing, not for the writing of random whoever. It’s your site to do with as you wish, of course, but I’d rather see one post a week from you than seven from other people…
