As I was catching up on one of my favorite blogs, i wondered how long I had been blogging. I went to my first blog and back to my first post in April of 2004. Over 8 years I've been doing this, and my how things have changed. I still have the same job, which I bitched about frequently. My residence has changed a few times. Pets have come and gone. I'm not yet a professional blogger. Pink is still my favorite color. My "about me" on the first blog is 97% accurate still today.
Some people don't get why others blog. "Why do you want your life out there for others to read about?" Blogging can be silly, serious, funny. It can be a great escape and release. I still like it even though my posts are fewer and fewer these days.
This blog is far different from my first, or second, or even third. I have made friends through blogging, which people also find hard to believe. Friends I have never met in person, but hope to some day. I plan to keep blogging until it no longer interests me, or I run out of things to write about. I don't see that happening soon.
