I was inspired by a fun blog my wife enjoys reading (Loobylu.com) to track back a few years and see what I was up to ... 3 months ago, 6 months, a year, 2 years, etc... as measured by my blog.
First, I was impressed that I can go back through nearly 3 years of blog entries to February 2004 when I started the Travel Pete Blog!
Second, I realized that a year ago I did no blogging for a couple months as 2005 was really sucking and I wasn't up for it, frankly, so I got nuthin' from last year.
The nearest thing I could find is this blog entry from last September which sort of summed up my feeling for much of 2005.
If you check that entry out, you'll realize why I decided to stop this little "track back" project early. Who knows what else I might find??? Depressing.
Instead, I thought I'd focus on the fact that this is my 400th entry in BlogLand, and I'm quite pleased to have stuck with it for so long. If I go another 50 years, I'll really have something to look back upon. Assuming I can still see at 85 years of age.
Of course, it's not a true diary. Despite what people may think, I *have* actually held back on a number of topics due to the readership I wasn't completely ready to offend. Mostly my family at first guess, but probably some neighbors and acquaintances as well as people I don't know.
Besides, I have secrets. Just how it is. I mean, do you *really* want to hear about digestive tract problems? All the money I lost recently? People who are on my shit list? My thoughts on the economy?
Not really.
Anyway, because 2006 has been a decent year all around (excepting not getting my teaching job) I'll stop here before I get maudlin and gushy and "go negative" as the politicians prefer to do.
