Year 1: Monumental Success(CEB II)
After all of the Eurotrips, Sox-Yanks marathon games, celebrity sex scandals and mixing a little too much wine with beer this Easter, Cloud 10 has made it to the one-year mark, and I have enjoyed every bit of it. From chronicling my adventure in Oslo, to conjuring up the best post- lotto strategy, to sharing my joy/frustration that comes with every minute of following the Red Sox, I have had more than a blast sharing my rants and reviews with each and everyone of you. And I'm motivated to keep it going for another year. In a year which my cash flow wasn't exactly at its peak, this blog was a valuable outlet for my personal acclimation into the surrounding events of my so-called adulthood. Plus, a little baseball talk doesn't hurt anybody either, right? Anyhoo, here are a few samples of me in the past year putting on my best impersonation as someone who knows what they are talking about.
Opening Day....It's A Holiday, A Way Of Life, An Escape - 4/8/2009
My first true post on the blog, which details just how important the first day of the national pastime is to folks like me, despite any hardship that comes our way.
1st Ever Gamecast On Cloud 10: Sox - A's - 4/15/2009
My first gamecast (soon to be Cloudcast) where I let my emotions known as this marathon game was happening. Even though this game ended in a 2:30 AM disappointment, a Cloud 10 favorite was born. Aaah, the days of unemployment.
Front Row At Fenway + Doubleheader = Best Day Ever - 4/23/2009
No, seriously. It was the best day ever! Hope these photo montages do the day justice!
European Picture Show - 6/15/2009
Killer montages from each and every country I visited on my second Eurotrip. Images of schnitzels and Gaudi structures coexist so well with the music of Lady Gaga and Flo Rida. No, believe it!
R.I.P. To An Iconic Three - 6/27/2009
Paying homage to three pop culture icons (Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson) who fell victim to the whole bizarre celeb trio death, but left us with so much of a legacy.
Destination Dreamin' - 7/17/2009
The birth of what was to become the '5-Piece', detailing my most desired destinations worldwide. Seriously working on Hawaii for this year.
If I Had A Dollar For Every Wishful Thought.... - 11/23/2009
A personal favorite of mine, displaying the right way to approach the triumph of a lotto jackpot (if your reeeeeeeeal lucky enough). You can thank that documentary on E! and a bad economy for this piece.
Tigers In Celebrity Cages - 12/2/2009
Me ranting about us as a society building up athletes to an image they really aren't. Wished I liked writing papers when I was in school. This has the beginnings of a thesis written all over it.
In Awe Of The Aughts - 12/20/2009
Lots of admiration for the past 10 years + a lot of time on my hands = this piece.
Locked Up In Your Own Prison - 2/5/2010
Comparing my brief experience as an MLN salesman to a favorite show of mine on National Geographic. Almost uncanny in similarities.
Is there anything unique you wish to see me pick apart in this blog? More political stuff? More '5-Piece' topics? Want more Barça/soccer entries perhaps? Comment away, my friends! I gotta another year of creativity in me, for sure.
