Greetings, all (or should I say “spunky new year!!!”)-
“The only thing better than watching TV or seeing something for yourself, is reading someone else write about those very same things you’ve already observed.“ -spunkybean
It’s that time of year when I randomly email about 1,000+ people and tell them, “look at me!!!” What started as a stupid little hobby on a blog with about 5 or 6 people reading each week, has grown into a website with some great and talented writers, and for me …a couple hundred weekly readers of my American Idol recaps. At this rate, I’ll be dead long before I’m ever famous.
Added this year are my The Bachelor recap(s). But that’s not all you can enjoy at spunkybean. We’re also the best place on the interweb for Lost, Dancing with the Stars, and Survivor. And every Monday, we give you our View-Do Lists, a guide to important things on TV that you need to watch. And don’t forget Heroes recaps, Bound, Beaten, Brewed & Viewed (a guide to books, video games, beer, and movies), FlashForward recaps, Simpsons articles, and in-depth analysis of Big Brother and much more. We still call it a “zesty pop-culture stew.” And for the moment, it continues to be some blogging-slash-writing friends of mine writing about TV and movies, all while they pursue stand-up, script-writing, sketch-comedy, and more.
For the long time readers …thanks! Hopefully this is still as fun for you as it is for me.
For the old readers who don’t read anymore …what the?!?!?! Dude! What have I ever done to you?
For the new readers getting this crazy email for the first time …hi! Guess what? I write stuff and now I’m begging you to read the things I write.
There’s still Don’s Ego, where I talk about my hair, my random observations, tell stories, and dump my brain from time to time. My goal for 2010 is to write something there just about every day…no matter how boring … but because the topic there is “me”, you know it’ll be riveting.
And finally there’s the new and improved Mel Robbin’s blog. Because of my first blog, and then spunkybean, and some luck and some fool-hearty stick-to-it’dness, last year I enjoyed taking off my “sillly” hat and wearing my “motivational” hat and I tried to turn the smart things Mel says into worthwhile blog entries. You thought I was preachy in 2009 …just wait until 2010 really gets rolling.
Thanks to everyone for reading. Thanks to those who didn’t put my email on a “Blocked Sender” list. I promise …these emails only come once a year. Have a great year.
And finally, you can email me at don@spunkybean.com, follow me on Twitter @spunkybean or @donkowalewski, friend me Facebook, become a fan of Don Kowalewski or spunkybean on Facebook,
