Happy Anniversary


Well, it's been a whole year of this blog, something I started just as a more colorful way to get thoughts down and remember cool random shite. This silly thing ended up getting more than 20,000 page views, from just about every country in the world, even though I initially was doing it without thinking of anyone besides me seeing it.  It seems corny that I'm even doing this particular post, but oh well! Here are the top ten popular posts up to this point:

1. THE WORLD IS YOURS
2.Pictures of Women and Kids With Guns
3.Aerosmith's Nine Lives Cover Art
4.Infrared Photography
5.Fox Fur Color Changes
6.Korean Totem Poles
7.Le Corbusier
8.Undercurrent
9.From The Vaults: Et In Arcadia Ego
10.Mole Rat Vs. Mall Rat                                

The only other retrospective thing I've done was the idea of 'retro month' / From The Vaults
 back in January. Basically all the posts from the year just past (in this case 2011) are looked over and certain special ones are picked, one for each day of the month. Also, instead of double posting them, they are actually lifted / transplanted / reincarnated  from their original spots with only a brief mention in the title as a trace of when they were first posted! Maybe it's all cornball stuff but I hope at least some of you have been 'enlightened' by  some of these posts..cheers!

PS. I shall now reveal the inspiration for the name 'fox actors'. This has very little to do with American TV networks and the actors featured on them, except maybe in word play or pun alone.
It has a lot more to do with the Japanese folkloric kitsune, and this is a hint of the greater conspiracy the blog is part of!
