Scratch one New Year’s resolution because my submission to IB went up today. Long-time readers of my blog will already know this post but, personally, I read it over and over again so I’m sure you guys won’t mind reading it one more time. Thanks to Stacy at IB for doing this tough job and linking me to kick-ass blogs every morning. She deserves a Nobel Prize for organizing all these bloggers and really striving for craftsmanship.
If you love the story and have something to say about your own magical frozen moment in time, then please leave them in the comments. I’ll even pass on the really nice ones to my parents.

If there are indeed newcomers to this blog then I’ll point you to some blog posts in recent memory that have entertained the readers here:
- What He Wants - where I dip my foot in Match.com
- Race Relations - airing the concerns about my own ethnicity
- Happy Birthday to Me - getting drunk over NYE
- How I Treat My Books - examining a subtle metaphor for domestic abuse
- Coming to Terms - leaving my life behind to live in Seattle
congrats man; that really was a good post - nice little story =)
Congratulations man!! Should be proud of yourself - one of my fav posts too :D You’ve really worked hard on both your writing and this site, so it’s great to see you finally get some recognition :)
I just read your story a little bit ago… it was a great story! Getting into Indie Bloggers is on a list of things I want to do too.
I just read your blog on IB, and I thought it was an interesting little story. Kind of like when my mom and dad met at a skating rink when she was 14 because she was stood up by her real date.
Anyway, I read some of your other blogs, and because I’ve never been here before, I just wanted to say that: 1. I’m Asian. I’m from SKorea, but I was adopted to the southern part of the States. This makes me a) have a slight southern accent b) not really like Korean food (more like pizza, grits and mac & cheese) and c) 5′9″. It’s crazy, I know. and 2. I love my books. I especially love hardback books, so when I read them, I take the dust jacket off, and then when I’m finished reading it, I return it to the bookshelf in it’s nice, neat little place.
Nice reading about you :)
great job, jack; and great story.
stacey does deserve some kind of nobel prize … perhaps a category for blogging should be introduced to the foundation who awards these prizes.
That’s a really fantastic story Jack.
Congratulations on the Indie Bloggers posting. :)
