I started this blog in august of 2007. It was called 12:10 because I was born at 12:10 and mao died at 12:10am, while I was born at 12:10pm. It started out as just 12:10 but as my errors became evident. It became !2:10. I have no idea why, but ill never change it.
My posts in 2007, consisted of many politically motivated things. Whether it was the war, or things such as 9/11. I suggest you read these 3 first posts and either watch the two documentaries or read the first blog to which I was motivated. I am a poli sci major, was I devoted? At a time yes. Am I now? Doubtful. Do I miss it? Yes. Will I change that? I have no clue.
2008 brought many reviews of songs, looking back on my life in the past and other things. While 2008 was not necessarily a bad year, it was a year full of changes. And those changes made me who I am right now.
2009 I think 2009 as a hole was spent trying to find my place in life. Am I there? Fuck no. many things happened to me, new jobs relationships ending, moving alone. Things like that. I had 16 posts in 2009, with not much having a type of content I am happy about.
2010. I have had nearly 50 posts since the beginning of the year. I love that. I love that I now use this blog regularly. And while most people don’t read it, I write it and that is all that matters.
Trends: many posts involve music, tv shows, or movies. I have loved my reviews of these things. Will it make me through life? Doubtful.
What have I learned?: that life fucking sucks at time’s man. And while my life is nowhere shitty like it once was it still sucks at times.
My dreams: again no fucking idea. My American dream, to love someone with all my heart. To have a family to come home to every night have my kids waiting to hug me as I run through the door to see them hug them pick them up in my arms kiss them and tell them I love them. Everything else, I don’t care much about. Yes I need a job to support them, but im fine with being miserable at this job if everyday I can come home and be happy. This is all I ever want in life. A family. I never realized that until my niece was born. I can sit and see a photo of her and almost cry out of happiness. I want that to be my moment and mine only. Will this happen? I fucking hope so.
My life: my life is ever changing. One day I am happy, one day I am not. What is constant is that I have a heart, and I love my family. They never hear that, and I get that but that is just me. I love living in Ypsilanti. I will never move back home. This has been the biggest thing I have realized as of late. My life is here. My home is where I make it. My mom will always love me no matter where I move, and while my niece and nephew wouldn’t understand as young people. They would as the years went by. Where do I want to move to? Fuck if I know. Will I move? Fuck if I know. Will I cry if I move? Of course. Will I miss everyone? Yes.
So what is in the cards for rob/bob lees? I have no idea. But for all that read, thanks. For new readers. Thanks. This blog is a way to tell my life in a way that people may never see in a normal environment. Friends, family, acquaintances thank you for making me, me.
ps i searched all my current photos for a perfect photo. this is the best i have. my first day in ypsi with the 2 people i love most in the world.

Your father loved you more than you can ever know. He was such a lonesome child. He once told me I was so lucky to have someone to love. So when he met your mom and had you boys, he changed, he became a dad and a family man. He loved doing stuff with you guys and tried to make sure you did not miss out on anything. I see a lot of him in both you and Chris. He would be so proud of his sons.
I am so proud of my nephews.
