April Fools Day 2004 seemed as good a day as any to start my blogging journey....
"It's April Fools Day, and this is my first blog entry; those who know me will think that makes sense, those of you who don't, well, you probably couldn't care less."
Fast forward to today- April Fools Day 2005, and it probably makes a bit more sense to regular readers.
So my blog is one today! Who would have thought that? Anyway, before I get all misty-eyed on you, I just want to thank everyone who takes the time to read my drivel. My posts are a bit like me; ecclectic and a bit inconsistent. But that is the way I like it; I can blog about what ever the hell I want to, and people can choose whether the hell to read it or not. I like to talk about all kinds of stuff outside of my blog, so why not do it in my blog? Why not talk about everything?
That's why blogging is so cool; forget all the other theories and academic tripe on blogging; it's really simple, it's all about the individuals and thier conversations; the ones they start and the ones they join. And through blogs we can all choose which conversations we want to join, and which ones we don't.
So thanks for visiting, and keep on dropping by, leaving comments and linking through. If you want to leave some words of encouragement (or discouragement) they are always welcome!
Just for the record:
- I have posted 293 times
- I have been visited by 21390 people (dunno how many RSS subscribers)
- 101 people have felt the urge to join my conversations by commenting; many of whom had a seldge at me (usually when I expose my right-wing political bias)
- Oh, and I still have a headache!
