Blogging
A year ago I had never heard of a blog, but now I don't think that I can live without them. I have been reading since the end of January of 2005. And honestly, I have no idea how I got started. But I do remember the first one that I read. It was Rod 2.0:beta. I started reading his and realized that I could link to others and I have been on a role every since then. Believe it or not, I read or check about 36 blogs per day.
I started my blog on July 15, 2005 after months of just reading and commenting anonomously. I actually got an screen name in June just so that I could comment and leave my mark. After about a month, I decided that "if they can do it, hell, I can too." And with that, I embarked on a mission to set up and start my blog. At first it was hard because I had not idea what I was doing. It took me 2 weeks to learn how to post a dang picture. But in the last few months, I have gotten better. Although, I still am not the master of blogging with the pictures and podcast, and all that high tech stuff.
I now count blogging as one of the best experiences of my life? It has allowed me to say what I want and divulge information that I otherwise wouldn't divulge with people. I love that fact that people all over the globe can read about my life, as uninteresting as it may be to me. I have also had a chance to meet a few bloggers in person to put a real persona to the written word. I can do and say what I want without no interruptions. I can put an idea on pause and come back to it later. Yes, blogging has been wonderful. And I plan to continue it for as long as it's available.

you started your blog exactly 1 day before my birthday. congratulations. keep on doing your thing. it can be challenging at times, but it's a great thing.
I'm not sure when I stumbled upon your blog (I probably saw your comment on a friend's blog), but I've been reading ever since. Keep it up.
keep it up man ...
Hey you! Your story is very similar to mine all the way down to Rod, lol (who is my blogfather, lol) - I feel the same way about mine as you do about yours and now mine's will be published in a Philly newpaper! So keep up the good work! I'm reading.....LOL
Good for u brother... Stay doing your thing.
Blogging is great...I began when I was really at a low point in my life and I felt like I needed something to allow me to document my feelings. I used to keep journals when I was small...so, I just decided to do it now as an adult...it helps to get others advice esp. since no one really knows me.
