Once Upon A Time…
It was February 25, 2003, at 12:57 AM, and I wrote:
This is a lame, largely content-free first post for the sake of testing. I am known as verbose by some, but it’s late and I am at a loss for something clever to say.
For now this blog has no particular theme; just whatever I feel like musing or commenting upon. Later it may become clear whether I can be called a thinker, a linker, or an unclassified mongrel.
Which when I ported it to the “new” blog I titled:
First Post Ever
I made one other post that first day, about the nightclub fire.
On my second day of posting, I partly caught on to the idea of titles being a Good Thing, and was soon consistent about it.
Two years.
I look back and say “it’s only been two years?” It seems like I have been doing this forever. And I mean that in a good way. I can’t imagine stopping. I can barely imagine taking a hiatus.
Blogging gave me a social outlet, allowed me to meet great people, brought me a wife when I has given up on so much as ever having a date again, brought me an amazing baby when I’d finally accepted that I’d be a genetic dead end, and gave modernized wings to my writing impulse. Even if I should be applying it in more lucrative ways, and have slacked since my life changed so dramatically because of blogging.
I’ll try to post more memories, impressions, and perhaps past post highlights from two years of blogging during the day. What a ride it’s been.
The ride started here and continued here, for those unfamiliar with my history before joining Deb in marital blog here.
