One year of blogging!
I like change occasionally. Not drastic change, too often, but usually just a little something different to look at, or take in, or whatever. A little redecorating, if you will.
This day marks the one year anniversary of the beginning of my blogging experience. I've tried to keep my blog unique and my own, while pouring my deepest (and sometimes fairly meaningless) thoughts and feelings into it, for the brief entertainment (hopefully) of the few people who actually take the time to come in for a visit and give their two cents about whatever it is I may be rambling and/or ranting about.
So, it's for all these reasons (redecorating, uniqueness and entertainment) that I have decided to make a couple changes to my little corner of the internet here.
First of all, I decided I've tired of the "Lonely Infidel" moniker, at least as far as making direct references to me, this site and/or its contents. This blog, as you can see above, is now "The Life and Times of An Old Young Guy". That's what I am: an old guy on the outside, and still very much a kid on the inside. I'm going to be 40 in a few short months, and I refuse to let that fact cause me some kind of clichéd mid-life crisis.
The next change I made is, again, the obvious change to the blog header. Neato, huh? Well, I think so.
Lastly, one thing that is not changing is the web address. I realized there are too many backlinks and whatnot to my blog to have to worry about people changing things around. So, if you are one of the few people who have actually cared enough to choose to visit me on occasion via a quick click, you can still get here with the same old address of http://lonelyinfidel.blogspot.com.
Thank you for your continued patronage, and I hope I can continue my now yearlong tradition of reminding people why they should stay on their meds.
Hasta la pizza!

You know, turning 40 is not a bad thing. They say 40 is the old 30, so technically you are only 29 and you will be 30 in a few short months. I know, I'm a fine one to talk since I have a little time before I turn 40. But, enjoy the next few months. Who knows, maybe you will get some black balloons in the near future.
Nice look, nice name, so what do we call you no? Old, young guy? Just dude? What, inquiring (or nosey people as they are otherwise known as) want to know. :-)
Well, since my user name is aboynamedjimmy, it's obviously no secret what my first name is, so you're welcome to call me Jim. But, if you want to go the route of using our blog names, O.Y.G. kind of has a nice ring to it. Sort of makes me sound like a rapper. [pathetic white guy]Yo, yo, yo, mah homies! 'Bout the put the smack down on some ill rhymes...fo' shizzle mah nizzle and all that jargon![/pathetic white guy]
LOL
By the way, if you guys could change the wording in your links to read "The Life and Times of An Old Young Guy" instead of "Lonely Infidel", I would appreciate it.
Yeah, uhm maybe you should stay away from the rapper jargen, pathetic is a pretty good word for it. So let all us young people know what it's like when you turn 40, I've got almost a year yet before they start playing the death march for me.lol
Good look... Change is nice once in awhile.
And, the O.Y.G. sounds good too... As long as you NEVER try to go for the Vanilla Ice wanna be crap ever, ever, ever again...
I mean, like, Dude, I'd just have to hunt you down, you know, and...kill ya! ;)
Hey, my friend. I've only known you as The Infidel, so it will be weird to change your name. But at your request, it will be done. Love your blog, BTW...thanks for the great entertainment!

Morgan: Uh, that was my brother who did (and still does) the spot-on Vanilla Ice impression. Not I, said the duck.
Beth: Is this the Beth I think it is?
If you're thinking of the Alaskan/Illinois Beth, then it is the Beth you were thinking it was.
:)
Yaaaaaay! Hi, Beth!
