I was really feeling quite fine.
That is when this blog began
Even if I was “The Why’s” only fan.
*
I first introduced you to the Newark streets,
With a harsh life for some that just repeats.
You saw school fights and broken lights
And at times, a complete loss of rights.
*
My next big adventure was out of The States,
To Dublin I went and met some new “mates.”
Ireland was lushly beautiful, no doubt,
And now I wonder how I’ll visit again and go about.
*
You were with me, dear blog when I was scared of planes,
Or when I was stuck in the “village of the dead,” called Slane.
I told you readers about being called homeless,
And when I got lost because my internship had no address.
*
Senior year was briefly documented despite class,
So you got to read about eating dinner under an overpass.
There were also some confusing moments in time,
Like how was I supposed to graduate and make life sublime?
*
Finally, you followed me to New York City,
Where life is enjoyable, humorous, and sometimes gritty.
I laugh and I mess up; I feel infinite and occasionally confused.
But I hope “The Why” and I always keep you amused.
*
So cheers dear blog, and cheers reader to you!
Happy Birthday to the “The Why” - what a dream come true.
The 100th post is now finally complete.
But may there be countless more adventures to beat.
