One year ago I did it. I signed up.
I signed up for Ubersite.
1/1/2004.
Like today, I was bored, just a day away from returning to Boston. I had long enjoyed reading the stories, and I wanted to tell a few of my own. I wrote my first post on January first, and it was the greatest thing anyone on this site had ever seen. Thousands and thousands of blowjobs later, you guys wiped your mouths off and thanked me for being such a genius.
After a few more posts, I ignored Ubersite for a while, only visiting it occasionally to write some shitty posts. In March, I decided it was time for me to write some posts. In the last 365 days, I've written 95 posts, some of them well thought-out, for a website.
A website.
My jaw nearly dropped to the floor when I received a letter in the mail from Northeastern University last week that said I got straight A's last marking period. I was surprised because I had sacrificed countless studying hours whilst writing stories for UberMadness.
For a while, during the summer when I had nothing better to do, I wrote a new post almost every day because I felt I had so many interesting and funny stories to tell. Did I make people laugh hysterically? No, probably not. I don't have that kind of writing capacity. Did I make people cry when they read a cheesy love story of mine? No, probably not. Once again, I don't have that kind of writing capacity. Did I fit a small niche?
Yes, I like to think so.
However, I have recently grown more and more disinterested with putting in a significant effort on creating posts that I think are worth reading. Why did I put effort into my posts? Because though I was often trying to entertain, I also wanted to improve my writing and story-telling abilities.
I stand here a year later with a bunch of hits, a 1.40 average rating, and some people I can talk to online from time to time to keep me from being bored. I love reading the posts, but I wish Bart would update boredatwork.com more often than once every week or two, because there are just so many posts every day that need to be read, and I just don't have the patience to sift through the shit.
In that respect, there is a significant similarity between Ubersite and TJ Max, the low-cost clothing retailer. Is it worth spending two hours at TJ Max just to eventually find a $120 shirt for $30? Sometimes it is, but most of the time I just don't have the patience.
I probably won't be posting much for a while (maybe the same rate as the last few months), but don't get me wrong...this isn't a shitty "cry for me because I'm 'retiring' sort of" post. I'm just reflecting on my year at Ubersite and telling you guys that I won't pump out shit just for the sake of posting, I'll wait to have something good.
Anyway, enough of this post about posts. Wish me a happy Uberbirthday. I leave you with this:
======================================================
My New Year's Resolution:
To successfully write the date on the top of a paper without writing "04" first then scratching out the 4 and writing a 5 next to it.

Cool. And this is a +2 for the sole reason that I wrote '03 on a term paper- LAST OCTOBER.
Yes, I'm retarded. But others share my pain. Sort of.

Here's your present, I made it myself: http://www.ubersite.com/u/Can_Always_Trust_A_Liar
And what do you mean by reference, is that from something or is it just that everyone did that throughout school whenever they went back to school after New Year's.

Doesn't it seem like a long ass time from when you started on Uber? I remeber when I first started on Uber, and then when I think about how much time has passed, it just blows my mind. So much shit has happened on uber since then, not to mention the REAL world and everything else.
It's been great having you here man.

It was the last one they had, I think it was the floor model. You might have to change the cum deposit chamber.

Happy birthday, here's a shiny new plus 2. Thanks for encouraging me to join Ubermadness back in September, right after i signed up for Uber. It encouraged me to write again, which I hadn't done since high school. Take care, man.
