It is time for this blog to end its spotty run. I had re-started this blog a few years back in order to try to help me find a job. My portfolio at the time was weak due to a corporate job with a lot of up keep on a few sites. I don’t know if the blog worked but I currently have a great job with an awesome portfolio.

Last year the focus of my blog became about my failed marriage. I used it as an outlet to get things of my chest. My divorce is final, my life is great and I don’t have any desires to share the personal details with you all.

So it is time to end this blog, it served its purpose, I enjoyed it but its done. However this is not good bye from me. I have another blog about the thing I truly enjoy, BEER!

You can find me now at BeersForDinner.com, a blog about craft beer, home brewing and mustaches. You can also follow my twitter account @beersfordinner, which will focus on beer or beer related items. My personal twitter account @designbyblake will still stay active.

I hope to see you there.

Dear 2010,

I’m going to own you.

Love,

Dan

After a very long wait the day I waited so patiently for arrived. The divorce papers were filed last week and I have a huge sense of relief.

I don’t understand the need for a year wait in the state of Maryland. I can say that I am no longer angry, I’m no longer sad, I’m just ready to be done with this ordeal.

A year ago I was angry, sad and ready to be done with the divorce. Since the divorce is uncontested I don’t even think my ex needs to be in court. So it was a long year for pretty much nothing.

All I know is that there is a bottle of champagne that has been sitting in my fridge since the wedding and I am going to open it. After a glass I’m going to open a bottle if Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA, that is a beer you drink to celebrate. Even if you are just celebrating opening the beer.
