Damn, I almost forgot. Happy Valentine's Day, to all who tolerate it. By coincidence, today also happens to be the anniversary of this blog. And it's not just any old Angryversary. On this day 25 years ago, I flipped the switch and launched the very first iteration of Angry Asian Man. I did not know what I was doing. There was no plan, and could not have known where this website would take me. But here we are, 25 years later.
Yeah, still here. It's true, I'm nowhere near as prolific as I was in my youth. (Man, you try doing this for 25 years.) Time, gravity, capitalism, metabolism have all taken their toll. Plus, you know, everything. I'm pretty damn tired. The blog fell into a slow slide into inactivity over the years (honestly, the pandemic really knocked me out), and I've shifted my energy to things like podcasting and other writing. But I've recently started posting on this blog again with small, regular updates, sharing links and items of note from Angry Asian America. I just missed being helpful in this way. So I'm going to try to keep that going. Hell, I might even start, yup, a newsletter.
So let me just thank everyone who's stuck with me. All of the folks who have supported my work on and off the blog. I've always said the best, most unexpected part about running this thing has been all of the incredible friends and collaborators it has put in my path, and continues to do so. Also, big thank you to everyone who has maintained their financial support of my endeavors over the years. Thank you to my family for being my foundation through all of it. And no thank you to the haters. Still not here for it.
Twenty-five years. We've done the math correctly, but it doesn't feel real. Well, anyway, Stay Angry.
