If I said I’d give you 2500 pieces of paper, for free, would you get excited? Yeah, probably not. But if I told you those 2500 pieces of paper were actually American dollar bills, that might make you change your mind a bit. Right? Yeah, a tiny nudge in perspective is all it takes sometimes.
And do you realize 2500 years ago, today, it wasn’t the same day or month?
Yeah, turns out that exactly 2500 years ago (well, as exact as anyone can get on things like this) it was the year -0477. You could call it 477 B.C. if you prefer to use the pre-Julian Roman Calendar. And who doesn’t just luv getting one of those awesome calendars every January.
Anyway…
So, that was the year. -0477. But today’s date, all those 2500 years ago, was January 23. And it was a Monday. I don’t know what it is where you are, but where I am it’s Wednesday, February 15, 2023. OK, now who else wants their money back to their subscription for this pre-Julian Roman Calendars?
Well, actually none of that stuff even remotely resembles a hint of the reason I’m talking about the big number 2500 today. In fact, I almost didn’t talk about it today. And, in fact, I should have brought it up yesterday on Valentine’s Day. Not because it has anything to do with romance. But because this big number happened then.
Yeah, yesterday marked article number 2500 here on TonyFunderburk.com – And a lot of marketers, and other crazy online types might tell you that’s no small thing. Because a lot of bloggers, journalers, article writers, and website owners don’t hang in there anywhere near that long.
But maybe they just don’t have something as awesome to talk about as me.
And it definitely IS a good idea to have something awesome to talk about. Especially if you expect to be inspired to write about it almost every day. And, if you crunch some numbers, 2500 blog posts, divided by 365 days in a year, comes out to almost 7 solid years of daily posts.
But, if you scrolled through them all, you’d see this website has been around even longer than 7 years. So, I didn’t always share stuff on a mostly daily basis. That started in recent years. Because I wanna get as many important Rhymes and Reasons out into the webiverse as I can before my time on Earth is finished.
Hopefully, I’ve got lots of time left to be a thorn in the side of anyone who hates God, anyone who mocks Jesus, and anyone who pokes fun at those of us who know better.
And, if you’re someone who actually enjoys what I talk about, I’ve got a special deal. Jump on my The FunderFlash, between now and Sunday morning. All it takes is your email address (you can share your name if you like). And then, send me an email with the secret message, “Send me that 2500 deal, Tony.”
When you follow those instructions, to a T, I’ll send you something I’ve never sent out for free before. Now, I realize my current subscribers might think that’s unfair. So, here’s what I’ll do.
You get someone else to follow those instructions. And tell them to tell me that you told them about it. When they do, I’ll send you the same big deal.
And it IS a big deal.
Yes, this IS a promotion to get more subscribers. But it is NOT a wimpy link to a wimpy pdf with some tips on how to be a social media big shot. Far from it. As far as the East is from the West.
So, I urge you to not miss the deadline of Sunday morning, February 19, 2023. After that, no deal. You could still jump on the The FunderFlash and get some cool stuff. But not the cool additional stuff.
Truth is beauty.
Truth is light…
Shining through
Your darkest night.
Truth is wisdom.
Truth is wise…
And not for
Only your eyes.
Truth existed
In the past,
And it will
Forever last.
