I have a bad habit of being nostalgic during anniversaries and new years and so forth, so forgive me because another one is coming and this time it just happens to be this board. Tuesday July, 14th will mark the 2 year anniversary of this message board! Wow, what an experience this has been! I'm hoping July 14th will soon mark another anniversary as this year it is a very important date for me. We'll see how it goes. As far as nostalgia, looking back I'd have to say after year #1 showed so much promise, year #2 was a very difficult one in terms of this message board. It taught me a lot of hard lessons I guess. I hope I come away from it with a better perspective and the feeling of not wanting to repeat previous mistakes I've made. I'm hoping a year from now when I look back on year #3 I will find the board in a better place. Regardless, I love having my board. I know I would miss it if it was gone. I still have dreams and ideas and plans for it, and I still want it to one day succeed. It hasn't been an easy road, but I've enjoyed it nonetheless. Thank you all who have contributed and came here! Happy 2 year Anniversary to "Comic Crack"!

Tomorrow is a huge day for me and it's also the 2 year anniversary of this site! The two events are also related.

LOL!!! Thank you guys for the sentiments. I really appreciate them! This has turned out to be a great day for me. First of all, as you already know, 2 years ago today I opened my site and thus began something I would become more and more interested in the more I got exposed to it. Here I am 2 years later and I find it ironic that the event that got me started and on it's anniversary can now add the following to my name on the same exact date. As of Tonight I can claim to be CIW Associate Certified! I'm not supposed to be able to post this logo unless I've earned it. I can truthfully say, I've earn the right to post it! I managed to pass all 3 of my Certification Exams tonight to reach the Associate Level of certification. The #1 thing I am proud of is I was able to do it after 1 semester of school. Typically you take 1 certification exam after taking 1 of the classes. I didn't have that kind of time being in my situation. So I locked myself away and read the 3 books front to back and then some and was fortunate enough to pull it off. No, I don't wanna go around and have a big head about this. Truth is, it doesn't mean but so much. Especially in today's market. But please allow me this one moment to enjoy it. I haven't had anything to be proud about in a very long time. This is the happiest I've been this year. But tomorrow it goes back to being my normal world and I'll push it in the background again and not talk about it. And find myself in the same situation as I was the day before. But I needed somewhere to start. Just like my site 2 years ago....You gotta start somewhere! I still don't know enough to make this place what I want it to be. But at least now, I have a license that says I ought to be able to tinker with it a little bit more. In time, I'll see what I can do. But honestly, I still have an awful lot to learn. But at least for this one night, I can feel good that I set out to do it and got it done. Okay, end of that! Thanks again for helping me celebrate the anniversary of my site! I truly have a love for this and I really hope to celebrate more anniversaries down the road! ;D
