Three years old this month

I just realized today that my blog is officially three (3) years old this month. That's right ... around this time three years ago I was bored enough to start blogging about myself.

What's really interesting about having a blog around for this period of time, it gives me an insight into what I was thinking over the past few years. It shows me how much I've grown as a person and how much growing I still have yet to do.

Some observations:

1) I don't cuss on my blog as much as I used to.
I honestly think this is because I've stopped hanging around the people that used to upset me so much. I'm much more mellow now.

2) I don't make nearly as many entries as I used to.
Most of my entries lately come in spurts. I try to blog something at least once per week, but if you look back even at this month you can see how much I've failed at that attempt.

3) I don't talk about work as much as I used to.
Maybe because I'm paranoid...

4) I'm not the only person who's slowed down on their blogging.
I think that the "newness" of blogging has finally reached its peak. It's something that everyone has tried, either on their own personal page or on a MySpace page. It's yesterdays trend. Same thing goes with Podcasts.

5) No one reads my site.
This is actually a good thing. This site is really for my own purpose. I started it as a kind of experiment to reflect on my life over a period of time. It's also a good reminder about the things that I have done and things that I want to do.

Well, that's about it on this weeks entry. Tune in next week and we may have something posted ... but the odds are that probably won't happen. :)

"No one reads my site."

Heh ... Cough ... I do. But I know what you are saying. Most casual bloggers have slowed way down or stopped posting completely.

I think the medium will continue to get refined and of course commercialized. I too go back and read my old posts over time. They are a good reminder of where you have been and what you were thinking months / years ago.

So like you, I think I will continue to blog even if Kimmie is the only one that ever reads my posts.

LOL! Like I said, I thought that it was a good thing. You're doing better than I am tho. At least your wife is reading yours. ;)
