It was such a crazy year but who knew? More than 500 posts. 100,000 hits. 2 hacking incidents. Several bashful comments. A handful of hate mails from fans. Random praises from readers. A quoted review at BBC Radio UK. Growing number of readers. That's one year, baby! Haha.
Quite frankly, this blog has been the most consistent thing I have done in quite some time. And yes, that should tell something about me right? Haha. DAM NATION has really been such a release for me. I may not have taken this whole thing seriously yet because I always fear taking something I enjoy too seriously will make things a little stiff, but I really consider this as a noble passion. So, happy blogversary to me and, yes, to the readers of DAM NATION. May this year bring more fun blogs and insightful conversations.
Now, to show my appreciation and to celebrate as well the anniversary of DAM NATION, here's a little treat for everyone. I'll be giving away three prizes for, of course, three lucky people. No, these are just minor goodies - nothing extravagant - but it's hopefully something you guys will appreciate.

"found out that he does not watch indie films"--hmmm another stupid pseudo-critic who uses his wealth so that people will comment on his blog.
critic after jizz
Critic After Jizz: Harsh! Haha.
Well, if I can just point out something about the "not watching indie films". It's just a matter of PERSONAL preference. You may not "agree" with it but to each his own. :)
Also, I don't think I'm another stupid pseudo-critic because I NEVER claimed that I'm a critic in any way. I just like watching films (yes, mainstream!) and I happen to write what I think of it. Does that make me a critic? I don't know. But that makes me a blogger.
And no, I don't use my wealth so people will comment on my blog. That's lame! I NEVER forced anyone to do that. And just so you know, this particular "contest" is just to show my appreciation to all readers and to celebrate the blog's anniversary. Again, SHOW MY APPRECIATION!! I'm not doing this just to generate comments. I think the blog can do that without me spending anything.
Anyway, I don't personally know you so I don't really know what exactly is your problem. But flames like this don't make me particularly happy. Just let me be, ok? :)
That's all. Thank you very much!
Critic After Jizz, please.
Will it be possible that you give a very detailed explanation on how you connected "not watching indie films" to being "a stupid pseudo-critic", and on how you found out, either through analytical or supernatural means, that the blog owner is using his wealth to attract more visitors.
Go.
Will: Haha.
Who won?
Anonymous: I already posted the winners in another blog post. :)
