Bloggy Birthday To Me

It's a watershed day as Well, Since You Asked... turns one year old today. It's crazy to think of how much has happened since I was that young, disgruntled Los Angeles resident eager for an opportunity to procrastinate from my mundane job. At the time, I was pondering the idea of starting my own website so that I could write and publish whatever I wanted. I had heard of "weblogs" but I assumed they required a monthly fee. But when good 'ol Gary told me that he started a blog (and that such blogs are, in fact, free) I hastily jumped on the bandwagon.

I was hooked instantly, which is obvious from the fact that back then I often posted more than one entry per day. It was nice having an outlet for all the opinons, rants, observations and random discussion topics floating around in my head. I owe a big thanks to everyone who has taken the time to sit down and read what I have to say. But once you get an audience, all of a sudden you feel a certain amount of pressure to deliver consistently. And with my time being consumed by a new, much more enjoyable job and a more active social life, I just haven't been able to devote as much mental energy to WSYA. There have been certain times over the past year where I've considered ending the blog since I was posting infrequently and I felt the need to blog just for the sake of blogging. But whenever that thought enters my head I just think: "Slow down there, champ. You're not publishing the Daily Mirror, here. It's OK if you're not posting like clockwork." So I will continue on my current path, blogging when the spirit moves me. But my resolution for Year Two is to catch the spirit a bit more often.
