If you’re reading this, then you have officially shown more interest in this website than I ever expected anybody would. Gold star for you!</p>

<p><img src="/assets/images/goldstar.png" alt="goldstar.png" /></p>

<p>It even says ‘GOLD STAR’ on it in case you forget what it is. That’s the kind of elite-tier customer service that you can expect here at <a href="https://goodthanks.org">goodthanks.org</a>.</p>

<p>Anyway, I feel like I should explain why I’m starting a blog in the year 2026. There are a few main reasons:</p>

<ol>
  <li><strong>Social media <em>sucks</em>, and I feel that really embarrassing desire to <em>express myself</em>.</strong> I have more to say on that but that’s a whole post in and of itself.</li>
  <li><strong>I want to document my thoughts/feelings/goals etc throughout the years.</strong> It’d be cool to look back on this post in 2036 and cringe over how much of a shithead I was. But if 2036 Josh IS reading this, then… don’t you have anything better to do? You’re almost 40, bro. Grow up.</li>
  <li><strong>I plan to actually have things worth sharing soon.</strong> This website would be a good way I can share stuff without feeling like I’m shoving it in peoples faces. Plus, it’s somewhere away from the prying eyes of ‘Daddy Zuckerberg’ and his ilk.</li>
</ol>

<p>I probably forgot some other clever things I wanted to say, but that’s okay. I’ve gotta end the blog somewhere. Anyways, enjoy that gold star. They don’t just give those things out to anybody, y’know.</p>]]></content><author><name></name></author><summary type="html"><![CDATA[Salutations (as the kids say).
