Yup. It’s time to bust out the Fudgie the Whale cake once again. Living with Balls is officially two years old!

Two years ago, I wrote this lame intro. A day later I wrote my first “real” post, which talked about how to separate chores when living with a woman. 277 posts have gone up since then and somehow I’ve managed to keep motivated writing new posts despite slow growth. There’s a fine line between persistent and stubborn and I’m probably hovering right on the border. Though the progress has been slow, it’s been consistent since the start and that gradual growth keeps me going.

Let’s hope year three is a good one for Living with Balls. If you’re a fan of this site and want to get me something, just go tell a friend how much you like it here.

Here are some notable facts from the past year… (more…)

A year ago today, I wrote this uninteresting post and Living with Balls was born. 198 posts later, it’s still alive and kicking.

A lot has changed since that first post. My initial plan when starting this blog was for it to be more of a men’s magazine. I’d write the occasional funny piece but I’d also write reviews, give advice and write sports analysis.

Then it occurred to me that I really don’t like writing about anything serious. Also, my “funny” posts were doing way better than the posts where I gave out shitty advice or wrote a boring review—and with a name like Living with Balls, how could anyone take anything I wrote seriously? So I gradually transformed it to a humor blog for men and that’s where it stands today.

I’ll admit it. My main motivation a year ago was to make a little side cash off this site. It occurred to me pretty quickly, however, that making money off a blog would not be so easy. I’ve realized that making some real coin from this blog may never happen. I’m ok with that because I also didn’t know how much I’d enjoy it. So I’ll continue to write and if I make some money off this site, then great! If not, I’ll still continue to work hard at making it better each day. (more…)
