I hope everyone has enjoyed my blog the past year, but after quite a bit of soul-searching, I’ve decided to close the blog indefinitely. 

I’d like all my regular posters to know how much I’ve appreciated all the nice comments you’ve left me the past year.

Thank you.  It’s been an honor being your Bloggerina.

My first photo blog post on RHS was one year ago today on March 11, 2008.  Since then, there have been countless other photos posted, so I think it’s time for a retrospective, to reflect, recollect, remember, reminisce and remind us of the ride we’ve been on the past year. 

With all the pictures and themes posted, some were bound to stand out.  So since this is the one-year anniversary, I thought it would be fun to get some feedback. 

What were your favorite pictures, themes and posts? 

Which posts (or comments) did you find the funniest?

Which pictures, audio and/or video did you find had that “WOAH factor?”  What do you remember as something you had to “RHS” ASAP (something you knew needed a home on your hard drive right away)?

If you’re a frequent visitor of the blog and never or rarely comment, now would be the perfect time to leave a comment and let me know that you’ve been enjoying the blog.

Let’s get celebratory!

Since it’s a special day, I thought I’d post a few extra pictures (plus that goes hand in hand with Taylor having bonus CD tracks).

The first two below look like two versions of the same picture, but the second is wider, so click the larger version link.

Today’s the day Taylor’s fans have been waiting for:  New Album Release Day.
 
The Distance CD is now available, as well as additional song boni – the bonus song depends on the purchase location (Walmart, Target and/or iTunes).
 
In honor of the CD release, each picture in the mix below will have a special heading.  See if you can spot the trend in this Seven Pic Breakdown…
 
First, we have What’s White is White (as in white shirt) — link to larger version (the full size is 2048×1536, so click the link if you like ‘em large)

Lastly, Once Upon a Hover (Taylor hovering, showing us the magic of levitation):

In the words of Lesley Gore, “It’s my birthday and I’ll blog if I want to, blog if I want to, blog if I want to.”
 
Since I’ve done some birthday posts for others here when it was their birthdays and now it’s my birthday, I thought I’d do a “Bloggerina Birthday Blogpost.”
 
Some fun March 8 tidbits:
 
**Everyone who observes Daylight Saving time, turn your clocks ahead an hour.
 
**On March 8, 1817, The New York Stock Exchange was founded.
 
**March 8 is also “International Women’s Day” – read about it here if you haven’t heard of it:  http://www.internationalwomensday.com/about.asp
 
***Famous birthday-sharers:   Micky Dolenz from the Monkees, Gary Numan (sang the 80’s hit Cars), “Little” Peggie March (sang the 60’s song I Will Follow Him), Actors/Actresses James Van Der Beek, Lynn Redgrave, Aiden Quinn, Camryn Manheim, Freddie Prinze Jr., and News Anchor Lester Holt.
 
In celebration of my birthday, I thought a balloon theme was appropriate, so here are some pictures of Taylor that have balloons in them:

Don’t miss the “Taylor Hicks joins the Navy” post below, but since I found some pictures from the Belly Up Tavern, I thought I’d post those (I’m sure these are the “allowed” type of photos).

I thought I should post the link to their site rather than just reposting all their pictures, so click here for their site and below are some samples:

I figured since there are so many pictures from Taylor at different radio stations the last couple weeks, I’d throw some together into a post:

First, I want to say thanks to those of you who were nice enough to leave encouraging comments on the break post.
 
Although I do have to cut back to a few posts per week (as I mentioned before), I thought I’d come back today with an interview link and some random recent pictures from some radio stations.
 
I found this Taylor interview from the Johnjay and Rich show in AZ . It’s mostly American Idol questions as usual, but the interview is 22 minutes including the single at the end. 
 
Random tidbits:
 
Taylor Tivo’s American Idol – he knows that contestants can play their instruments and wishes he could’ve done that.
 
The new CD is exactly where he wants to be as an artist/songwriter.
 
Was not hit on by Justine Bateman (but someone else out there).
 
Taylor Hicks says….(random quotes from the interview): 
 
“I am single and I’m on the road, so whatever happens happens.”
 
“It’s a really cool way to, like I said, stay out there and be with the people, because that what counts, man.”
 
And now some random pictures:
