Sneakerboxx One-Year Anniversary
Who knew I could keep my attention on something for a year? I’ve tried in the past to do blogs, but they never lasted past a month or two. It looked that way with this one (I actually didn’t start blogging until late June), and there were a few times in the early months where I was getting 14 views a day when I thought about quitting, but here I am a year later still going strong (somewhat).
A lot of things have changed for me in the year since I started the Sneakerboxx. I passed the VA bar exam, became an NFL agent, and opened my law practice all in the past year. And I realized just how hard it can be to run a blog.
As you can tell, since life has gotten busier for me, I have slowed down in the amount of daily posts. Part of this is attributed to my busy schedule and partly due to other sites doing it so well. I’ve mentioned them several times, and you can see that sometimes I jack their links (while giving proper credit).
So a lot of the stuff I post is sneakers (cause I still got you guys on that one) and opinion pieces. Like when I smashed the NCAA tournament this year or gave you my picks on the NBA postseason honors.
Anyway, expect more of that…I’m really fading on the posting shit. There just isn’t enough time in the day, and I don’t feel like posting the same shit that you can see on other blogs. The whole point of the sneakerboxx was to be unique…now I feel like I’m just another fish in a big pond.
Shouts to the people that been down since day 1…we’ll see if I can make it another year.
Cheers,
lik dot

Happy Anniversary (No Homo)! You really are doing your thing with the sneakerboxx, fam. Just a few months ago we were talking about going gold and you almost plat.
I feel you on the quitting thing. I was wondering why i should continue with the other monster sites out there but on221, and blogging in general, is more than just trying to stay ahead of the curve with the latest music/news. You engulf yourself in what you love.
I STILL, ’til this day, think of gettin off221 for good when I have days when I have like 2k hits –those are the worst– but it calls me back! But the sneakerboxx is poppin. Keep it going, fam. A year is a big accomplishment. There are a few sites out there that caught my attention that no longer exist so a year is a big accomplishment. I’ll be there in October..no late September.
L’Chiem! I wish you a hundred years of success!
