Happy Angry New Year 2016

And thank you.



Happy new year, dear readers. For better or for worse, 2015 was one hell of year.

As we look onward to new journeys, big changes and challenges over the next 365 days, I just wanted to say thank you for your incredible readership and support. This year marks the 15th anniversary of this website -- a pretty damn good reason to celebrate. As I look back at the last decade and a half, I find myself asking in amazement, "How did I get here?" The answer is community. The answer is you.

Thank you to everyone who will help make this next year awesome. Stay Angry.

Fourteen Angry Years

It's this blog's birthday.



Good readers, today officially marks the anniversary of Angry Asian Man.

Fourteen years ago today, I pulled some knobs and hit return to upload the very first version of this blog. I didn't even know what I was doing was referred to as "blogging." I wasn't sure anyone would read it, and I sure as hell didn't think I'd have a following. But here we are fourteen years later. I've been working on this thing longer than I've worked on anything in my entire life. I wouldn't be here without you, my awesome readers.

Thank you. Thank you to everyone who has contributed a helpful link or a tip, or has sent a note of encouragement, or even crappy message of hate. You've fueled the fire that has kept me busting my ass to make this happen, year after year. Thank you to true community, both online and off, and all of the incredible relationships I've been able to forge along the way -- you are the best part of this whole thing.

Thank you to all of you readers, listeners, viewers, contributors, donors, collaborators, sharers, likers, retweeters, high-fivers, huggers, gift-givers and lovers. Thank you to everyone who's bought me a drink or shared a meal. Thank you to all who have shown kindness and support when I needed it, and even a little butt-kicking when I needed that too. Thank you to my family, who have shown me endless patience.

Fourteen years. I keep thinking I've done the math wrong -- I say this every year -- but that's what we've got. There are some big plans and changes coming up. I hope you'll stick with me into year fifteen. Stay Angry.

Happy Angry New Year 2015

First, some thanks are in order.



Happy New Year. The last 365 days were pretty darn crazy on many levels. I can't remember the last time I was so relieved to put a year to bed. Onward. I am looking forward to new adventures and challenges in 2015. For now, let me express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to the awesome parts of 2014.

Thirteen Angry Years

This blog finally becomes an Angry Asian teenager.



Hey, everybody. Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Today marks the official anniversary of this blog. Believe it or not, thirteen years ago today, I cranked some levers and flipped the switch to launch the very first iteration of Angry Asian Man. With each passing year, I keep thinking I did the math wrong, but my calculations are correct. It is true. Somehow, I've been doing this darn thing for 13 years.

It's been incredible. When I first started it, I didn't even know what I was doing was referred to as "blogging." Nobody had tipped me off to that term yet. I barely knew what I was doing and I sure as hell didn't expect anyone to read it. But slowly, over many years, this site has become a significant destination for a lot of people. I've found a voice and a space and a calling, in a way I never could have anticipated.

So thank you.

Twelve Angry Years

Happy Valentine's Day, whatever it means to you. By complete coincidence, today also happens to mark the 12-year anniversary of this website, Angry Asian Man. No joke. Twelve years ago today, I flipped the switch, and the very first iteration of this blog went live on the internets. I didn't expect anyone to read it, and definitely didn't imagine I'd still be running it all these years later, but here we are.

Damn, I've been doing this for a dozen years. I think I say this every year, but I can't shake the feeling that I did the math wrong. Nope. February 2001. That's twelve freaking years.

Over the years, we've seen a lot of crazy angry things, some wonderful moments, some heartbreaks. I've had to shovel through a lot of crap -- a lot of the same crap over and over again -- and running this thing ain't easy, but twelve years later, I can say it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. I'm proud of this blog, and I couldn't have done it without all of you awesome angry readers.

So this is where I thank you. Thanks to everyone who sent in links, tips and all sorts of helpful information my way over the years. Thank you to everyone who has sent messages of strength and support. Thank you the great friends and amazing relationships this blog has brought into my life. Thank you to all the people who get angry, and fight everyday for our community. And thank you to the haters -- you fuel my fire.

Happy Angryversary, everybody. Let's keep this going together. Stay Angry.
