ONE YEAR(ish) ANNIVERSARY!
Readers:
Approximately one year ago I had a funny idea. I passed a guy like this in a location like this and realized later that night that passing H’d out fiends in Baltimore was such a common occurrence that we don’t take the time to appreciate it as we should. I decided to take a picture of the next leaner I saw and start a blog to share the mystifying magic of “the Lean”.
Apparently, I’m not the only one who is fan of the lean, and 365 days and 180 posts later I’m still posting your pictures and having a blast writing up ratings and descriptions. The best part of my day is looking at the inbox on this site and seeing the hilarious submissions I get from you. I never thought I would make it a whole year and now I can’t imagine ever stopping.
Sure, I’ve had my share of haters but the response has been overwhelmingly positive. As long as the pictures keep coming and the leaners keep leaning I hope to entertain and enlighten for years to come.
My goal last year was to get the word out about the site and find readers, and with word of mouth advertising this site now has a following approaching that of the Baltimore Brew. I can’t thank every reader enough for spreading the word about this site and continuing to visit.
My goal this year is to help raise money for causes in Baltimore which are near and dear to this site. That may not sound like much of a challenge, but you can imagine approaching Healthcare for the Homeless and telling them you want to help with a fund drive when the name of your site is thatguysonheroin.com…
OK, I promise to not bore you with another serious post anytime soon. I just wanted to say thanks for making this a great first year!
