2500 times... THANKS!!!

What do you know? 2500 views has snuck up on me and I didn't notice it!
You (Mainstay) readers have already guessed what is coming next and if the title didn't give it away (for you new-comers) then, let me categorically state that, this post will be another "THANKS FOR READING" post! (Also, let me state that I have fixed the issue where MY views add to the tally. [Apparently, there is an option in the Settings that I can adjust to have the counter not register my IP address as a view. Technology at its finest!!!] So the count is a bit more accurate now and it reads 2614 views at the time of posting)
You, being the observant reader you are, may have noticed that I have switched to a different (More writer-friendly?) posting schedule of 1 post per month. When I first started out, I had A LOT to say and posted a few times (about 3-ish) per month. As I have been at this for close to 2 years now, and as life has become a bit more hectic and time-consuming, the current model suits me just fine. It gives me more time to flesh-out my posts with more of my awesome personality *big goofy smile* and rather unique writing style (That you have all grown to love and adore *does Jedi Mind Trick*) as well as allowing me to say what I want/need to say in a structured and impactful way. (Obviously, great effort goes into each and every post. Even if it doesn't seem that way) [Leave a comment of which posts you feel are the most and least thought out, in your opinion. I'll let you know if you're right or not *suggestive wink*]
Anywho, enough rambling! Time to get to the reason we are here!

THE THANKSES!!! (Yes, I did that on purpose)

• THANKSES to ALL my readers. The new, the old, the quiet, the bold, the sharers, the shy, the girls and the guys.
• THANKSES to my sources. Whether of inspiration, of desperation, of learning, of moaning or of awe.
• THANKSES to my lovely wife. For helping with research and toiling through the slog, even though she STILL hasn't read anything on my blog.
• THANKSES to the Fighting Game Community. I've been apart of it for a short span of time but it's a group people I'm proud to call mine.
• THANKSES to my critics. Happy to say I now have a few, who give it to me straight and spell-check too.
• THANKSES to Microsoft Paint. It's the little things you do, that keep me coming back to you. 
• THANKSES to Daigo and Tokido. (My Street Fighter Role Models) We may not know how, we may not know when but we will make RYU great again.
• THANKSES to Beer Battles (and its participants). Good, clean fun and friendly competition. (Except when people get SALTY. It gets better, when people get salty)

I'm glad to have each and every one of you readers along with me for the ride and I hope that you stay with me on this journey (as long as you want to and even after you don't want to)[but you still stay anyway because... Reasons].
 
To any and every one involved with the blog in any and every way, shape or form. To you I say THANKS, THANKS, 2500 TIMES... THANKS!!!
