Hi folks!

Hey, guess what?

I just realized that September 13th marks the one year anniversary of Vent!

Shit…where the hell did time go?

And what’s really funny, is that when I think about how I had originally planned to present this blog, I’m reminded of my previous post on Change.

When I first started Vent, I was going through a lot of frustration and anger in my life, and wanted a place where I could just SCREAM my emotions.

(I’m Italian, you know)

And if you can believe this, initially I had planned to leave comments closed, and simply allow people to read my words as if it were a book, without any interaction.

(Oy…how boring is that?)

Eventually, I began to find the humor in my anger and started laughing at myself.

And then Vent took control…and has lead me to where it is today.

A wonderful place of communal expression, joy and fun.

Having this blog, is a very important part of my life.

It’s become a passion and a dedication.

And if it weren’t for the interaction with all of you, it would merely be a paper journal.

A blog is plural…not singular.

So I would like to share this one year anniversary with each and everyone one you, who stop by to read and leave your freaking AWESOME comments.

(even those of you who have just recently stopped by)

Now I only partially made this little gift, so I can’t take full credit for it’s total creation.

So…in the spirit of Vent.

I give each of you…your very own little movie clapboard.



Please take this, with the understanding that your life is like a movie…and each moment, is a series of takes…so enjoy your film!

You’re a STAR!

Thank you everyone…for BEING Vent.

Happy Anniversary!



Have a wonderful weekend, peeps!

  1. First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR VENT BLOG, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.... YAY!!! So, glad I found you, even if it was only about a month ago!!! I LOVE this blog and as I said before, the comments are as good as the posts... You make my day, Ron- when I go to my blog and see that there is a new post on Vent!!! It's a great place to come to- it's like therapy for me just to read what you have written... So, "bonne continuation" - good continuation to you and hope to have many, many more Vent birthday..

    Second, I just have to say that when I saw that there were no comments on this post yet... the first thing that came to my mind... was when I used to read TMZ.com religiously (I don't read it anymore) and the first person to comment would always write -- First, bitch!! It would really crack me up that people had that reaction to being the first one, I'm not like that by the way... But anyhow... I digress!!

    Big hugs and kisses to you on your Blog Birthday--
    Love, Leesa from France

    P.S. What the HECK are those big donut, onion ring looking thingings with the number 1 candle in the middle of the ring?? Just curious!

  7. Awesome Ron!! Happy Blogiversary!

    I am glad that your blog evolved into what it is now. Imagine if you had never allowed comments. You would have never met all of these wonderful people!

  8. Happy Birthday!!!!!
    OH I am just sooooo happy that I found you and Vent.
    What I love about this blog, well, aside from just it being written by a person like YOU, is this comment section. Unique. Sure, most blogs have comments, but this behind the scenes stuff is really fun. At my blog, I read ALL of my comments, and usually within the week, altho not always, I do leave a response in the comment section but it's never very detailed. Also, I don't post every day. It could be a couple times a week or nothing for more than a week.
    I enjoy that you are so consistent, just knowing OOH, it's Friday, Ron has a post up!!!
    Here is a place that's the perfect blend of humor, and memories, thoughts, and daily happenings! And branching off to do the review blog was a terrific idea. So informative.

    So bravo to you, dear RON! Happy Anniversary to Vent. It's fabulous and I enjoy coming here.
    I'll be thinking of you.
    Have a great weekend!! :)

  10. Morning Leesa!

    Thank you, you sweet lady!

    I was over at Giggles blog last night, and when I saw that she had chosen YOUR blog to click on...I was soooo freaking happy!

    Sometimes when you meet people, it seems as though you always knew them, and when you meet again...it's like picking up where you left off. And that's exactly how it felt meeting you, Leesa. Like a good friend!

    Yes, as I'm sure you've already noticed, I moderate all comments before publishing, so I it's hard to figure out being the FIRST comment. I try to answer the comments in the order in which they were given, but I agree...it does take the FUN out of being the first commenter!!! I may change that later on down the line.

    (you know me...always CHANGING!)

    And YES...you guessed it, dear lady...those strange little things with the candle in the middle ARE donuts!! At first I thought they were BAGELS!!

    HA!

    Anyway, Leesa...thank you for coming by today and sharing in this celebration. And thank you for your presence here...it's such a JOY!

    Have a wonderful weekend!

  11. Good Morning Lady Sorrow!

    Thank you, dear lady!

    I remember meeting you for the first time here, but I had seen your great avatar on many of the blogs I had been reading.

    Through your life's journey, you've taught me so many wonderful things...and mainly about LOVE.

    You are a beautiful example of LOVE in motion.

    Thank you for being my teacher!

    And thank you for stopping by today and celebrating ALL our Anniversary!

    Have a great weekend, dear Sorrow!

  17. Good Morning Crystal Chick!

    Thank you for your sweet words!

    As I shared with Nicole...I can't even freaking IMAGINE what this blog would be like without comments.

    Commenting has turned out to be the thing I love MOST about blogging.

    Like you, It's the "behind the scenes" that I find the most enjoyment. And the most interesting! It's the INTERPLAY with one another, that takes the post to another level...a CONVERSATION.

    Thank you for stopping by here and introducing yourself to me, M. I so enjoy what you always share. You always bring such great knowledge and positive energy.

    And isn't it COOL that we're practically NEIGHBORS????

    Thanks for stopping by today, M!

    And Happy Anniversary to you, TOO!

    Enjoy you're weekend!

  22. HAPPY BLOGVERSARY RON

    I can't believe it's a year since you started Vent! So how old is Foot Notes then?

    Also many thanks for the clapboard, I will put it on my awards slide show to display it with pride.

    You rock!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well, congratulations on your anniversary. You are one of my most favorite blogs!! :)

    It is strange how the blog's have changed our daily lives. Sometimes I think I am in a living "Blogs of our lives"...instead of Day's or Our Lives..hee, hee You do get attached to the bloggers and you worry if they disappear without telling us good bye..eh?

    As for Vent...you gave us a place to hang out to vent, bitch, whine, and laugh! Sort of like the small town coffee shops where people gathered to do the same. At least, that is how it feels to me, and I must say, I like the feeling!!
    So I think the energy comes full circle, Ron dear heart, and I am so glad you are part of my blogging family!

    I will toast you tonight!

    Love Ya!

  24. Hey...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! YAY!

    Sweetie, I wish I had known. I would have jumped out of a cake for you. I'm quite good at it. tee hee.

    Sweetie vent...take one...I'm grabbing one and hanging it on my blog, cause I heart you hard Ron. Your blog rocks and so do you, my friend.

    Mr. DeMille (ron) I'm ready for my close up. hehehe.

    Congratulations again sweetie...It's true what your readers say...you are fabulous and so is your blog...you my friend sparkle and you shine. Your warmth carasses my soul and I walk away a happier woman after reading you. It's true honey...I wouldn't say it if I didn't feel it.

    I better go before I want to pick china paterns with you. hehehe.

    Ciao baby. :D

  28. Good Evening Akelamalu!

    Thank you, my longest bloggging friend!!!

    God...can you believe it's been a whole year since I started this blog?? It FEELS like yesterday! Foot Notes is two years old now.

    That's where you and I first met!!!!

    And you were the FIRST person to share an award with me. I'll never forget that, either...because you made me feel like a million bucks!

    Thank you, dear lady...for being so loyal and dedicated. I sooo appreciate that!!!

    (as I'm sure ALL your readers do)

    YOU rock!

    Happy Anniversary, Akelamalu!

    Have a lovely weekend!

  29. Good Evening Dear Gypsy-Heart!

    OMG....that's a WONDERFUL way to express it...

    "The Days of Our Blogs"!!!!!!

    BRILLIANT!!!!

    And it's very true. Because we DO get so attached to our blogging friends, just as if we were interacting in person with them. Many people who have never blogged, don't understand this (and rightfully so) because you have to BLOG...to understand the DEEP connection that can be made just through sharing our words, which carry our feelings.

    Blogging has been such incredible journey for so many of us, ya know?

    And hey, thank you for your kind words...they really touched me.

    "A coffee shop!!"

    And I am SOOO freaking happy that you and I have met through our blogs, and for what you add to circle of energy here.

    I have a feeling that one day we will meet in person, and sit with a nice glass of red wine...and talk until we lose our voices!

    (and then we can draw pictures!)

    Bless you!

    And have a GREAT weekend, dear Gypsy!

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Love ya too!

  34. Hi Ron and Happy Birthday!
    I got a post from Leesa about your blog and it has been sheer pleasure ever since!
    I'm a Chicagoan living in Paris and writing songs about everyday life.
    When I read your work, I realized we are definately like minded but also people who express their thoughts and share.
    If everyone could learn to communicate
    (agreeing is not necessary) I think our world would be a better place.
    Hope to stay in touch, people like you inspire me.
    All the best,
    Brigitte

  37. Good Morning Annonymous!

    Thank you very much for reading here and taking time to leave a comment!

    It's so great to meet you!

    OMG...I can't believe that you're from originally from Chicago, because that's a city I've never been...but actually think about LIVING! It seems like a very organized and productive city.

    Hey...and how WONDERFUL that you're a song writer and living in PARIS! I bet the city fills you with MUCH inspiration!!

    I just think this is the COOLEST thing, meeting all these great Americans who are now living in France.

    Leesa, Barbara...and now YOU!!!

    (and I'm actually going to meet Barbara and her husband this month)

    Isn't it amazing to think about how the Internet/Blogging has the ability to connect people who other wise may never meet?

    YAY...Internet!

    Anyway...thank you very much from taking the time to stop by today and sharinging this Anniversary.

    And yes...I'm SURE we'll stay in touch!!

    Thank you for leaving your Myspace info. I will stop by to visit within the next few days.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

  38. Good Morning to you Lady Nitebyrd!

    Thank you SOOOOOOOO much!

    And DITTO to YOU!

    I remember reading your blog for the first time and just KNOWING that I was meeting a very special lady. I believe it was the post you had with the photos of Keith Ledger and Susanne Pleashette.

    (sorry about the spelling of her name...but I always fuck that up!?!?).

    Anyway...I instantly felt that you had a warm and compassionate heart. And in getting to know you this past year...I was right!

    You're an AWESOME soul, dear lady.

    And it's a freaking pleasure knowing you.

    Thank you for your presence here. Because your bring a shitload of JOY!

    Love you!

  40. I came by last night and saw this, but didn't want to just say something quick and flashy. A guy like you that is so thoughtful, kind, funny, warm and caring, insightful, honest, (is your head getting bigger yet?) etc... deserves more.

    It really has been a tremendous pleasure getting to know you my friend. Not just lip service either, I really mean that.

    I always look forward to seeing a new post from you, because they're such a treat to read. The interaction you have with each of your readers sets you apart too. I liken it to going to a good friends house and sitting on a really comfortable couch. You know the kind that just makes you feel like you belong. That's what I get here.

    I'm coming up on a year in a few weeks too and hope to meet more great people like you during the next year(s).

    Happy Bogiversary!!!

    P.S. here are a few extra exclamation points just for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. Hi Mr. Jeff!!!!!!!!

    (exclamation points)

    HA!

    Oh, man...you ALWAYS kill me with your brilliant WIT!

    Thank you SOOOOO much for your sincere and touching words, buddy!

    Ya know, I have so few male readers, so it's been an absolute pleasure to bond with another guy.

    You're a very special man, my friend. You have a wonderful gentle, yet powerful quality about yourself...and a super BIG heart.

    You're considerate, compassionate, and ALWAYS accepting of everyone.

    You a GOOD man.

    Now I know you like to keep your ego in check, and that's really admirable of you, but I've got to tell you something....

    You're a freaking FABULOUS writer!
    You ARE!! You have a God-given talent, that's exceptional. You use words like an artist painting a picture - and your pictures are always razor-sharp clear.

    And regardless of what it is that you're sharing...I always FEEL everything that you express, as if I'm THERE taking the journey with you!

    So thank YOU, Jeff...for sharing your gift with not only me...but with all the readers who come to your warm and welcoming blog!

    And I look so forward to celebrating YOUR anniversary...and many more years of inspiration and laughter!

    Thanks for stopping by today, bud. And for sharing in the celebration!

    Welcome!...thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment!

    It's very nice meeting!

    And isn't funny how we start a blog feeling one way, and then as it moves forward...we feel another way?

    That's one of things I love about blogging...it's always moving...always incarnating.

    I just quickly stopped by your blog to check it out and I really liked the layout. It's clean and very simple. Nice!

    Thanks a bunch for sharing in this anniversary/birthday celebration, Izzat!

    I think I need to go back to Charm School, don't you??

    And yes...aren't the exclamation points addictive?!!!!!!!!!

    They give my words FEELING!!!!

    Anyway, dear Anndi...thank you for your kind and touching words. And I too feel a kindred spirit with you! Whether it's the LIBRA THING or not...it's been a great joy and pleasure in getting to know you!

    So thank YOU!

    And Happy Anniversary, Anndi!

    Ok...now blow out the candle!

    Sincerely,
    Fred Flintstone
