3,000

It might not be considered much in the world of professional journalism, but my blog reached three thousand hits this week. 

I average about ten hits a day .This could just be the result of one person clicking on the link,  browsing through the pages, checking out my photos and scanning some of my writing, but I still consider it an accomplishment.

I wanted to be a journalist since ninth grade, but after graduating from J-school last year, my career was definitely not on the forefront of my thoughts. I wanted to travel.  The idea of traveling so effortlessly lured me away from family, friends, money, and my future.

My work will always be there.  Maybe as a beat reporter, as a magazine correspondent, as a travel writer, a critic, or even a goddamn columnist.  I think I have two decades left to give my journalism career a go, from whatever city, country, nook, cranny, or shithole I end up living in to achieve it.

But right now, just having one person a day be interested in the shit that spurs from my head, out of my fingertips, and into this blog is for me, enough.

Thank you those who have visited.
