Happy 10th Birthday to The Blog!

"The blog, which you lovely people are now reading, will be updated daily, we'll see how long that lasts."

It's not very often I get the chance to quote myself, but exactly ten years ago today I wrote those words. My 17 year old self would be shocked to hear that I kept up blogging this long, but more than that, he'd be stunned to see the person he'd become.

This blog started as a cute little way for our YouTube gang, Cafe Studios, to keep in touch with our fan base, somewhere to share behind the scenes pictures and glimpses at our latest film projects. It feels oddly fitting then to note that for many of the group's original members, our fledgling hobby has blossomed into careers. Mark and I in particular are embroiled in the biggest production either of us have ever worked on, and it's humbling now to reflect on our roots. 

As ever, I must thank all the readers of this blog. Your support and kind words of encouragement never fail to put a smile on my face. Whether you've only read a single post, or if you tune in regularly, it's beyond comforting to know that someone is always interested in my life. My readership may be small, but hey, that's never bothered me.

Ten years and counting... Writing a daily post has become a part of my nightly routine, and honestly, it's become a part of my identity. Already I'm thinking about what a 37 year old version of me looks like, and whether I'd want to share a beer with him? I certainly hope so.

Not much more to say... other than cheers!
