I am going to end my writing of blog posts with this post, which means for 2021, I will have 621 posts. By the numbers, it makes this year be ranked 7th out of 14 years I have been writing posts on this blog.
- 2018 (1857)
- 2019 (1650)
- 2017 (1507)
- 2016 (1364)

- 2014 (636)
- 2021 (621)

- 2011 (140)
- 2010 (121)
I feel like if I didn't make today be a final cut, I would create 20 "fluff" posts - 10 today, 10 tomorrow - in an effort to make this year's total be 640, thus moving 2021 to 6th place, which would be really meaningless because there is no way I can write 104 posts in 2 days to have 745 posts for the year and boosting 2021 to 5th place. Instead, I'll accept the reality of not writing as many posts in 2021 as I did in 2014, 2014, 2020, 2016, 2017, 2019, & 2018. Speaking of 2018, how in the hell did I write 1237 more posts than I did in 2021?!? That's a very high standard of writing 155 posts / month, whereas in 2021, I wrote 52 posts / month.
There were a lot of great tunes that went into my ears in 2021. This morning, I realized that the tune "Ruthless" by Nonpoint may not be the "best" song of 2021, but it does represent the way I would describe 2021. It was a ruthless year of highs and lows. Obviously, yes, the COVID-19 pandemic is at the forefront of my mind and dictated the way I live. For example, COVID-19 dictated the following:
- how many Masses I attended at Saint Thomas More
- not nearly as many as I did pre-COVID-19
- how many concerts I attended
- Shinedown - August
- Knotfest - September
- ZZ Top - October
- Kansas - November
- how many movies I saw in the theater
- Spider-Man: No Way Home - December 28
My sincere hope is that 2022 results in going to Mass at Saint Thomas More every week, going to more than 4 concerts, and definitely seeing more than 1 movie in the theater!
