Tribute to the Gich.
I stumbled across KBW by way of BruthaCode who’d linked MamaJunkYard who’d linked kina Spidey et al and I.was.hooked. And I was then reading blogs like it was part of my job description. The camaraderie between Guess, MJY and Nick and all those other OBs– erm… OGs was amazing. I was of course lurking as initially, it felt like I was intruding on a family conversation. There was this rowdy, rambunctious, crazy, loud (even in cyberspace, best believe you mofos be louuuud!) and they were having so much fun, I was like “I gotta get me some of this blogging.”
And I started my blog which (say it ain’t so), had my real name in its glory. I mean the full mutumiawamucii.blogspot.com AND pictures of me (what was I thinking?!) courtesy of crappy halo scan as that was in the bad old pre-flickr days. Of course I got 0.0 comments but I got hooked on this whole “you have a story to tell, so tell it!” idea. And, I decided to join KBW. Msanii was one of my first custos and he slowly became a regular (more on the utter loveliness that is Msanii in another post). Then visitors started trickling in, and I started butting in on conversations and the thing that surprised me so pleasantly, was how welcoming everyone in KBW was.
Which brings me to Nick.
