Thanks For The Memories!

It was exactly one year ago yesterday that I started blogging for the very first time. And to be honest, I never thought I'd stick with it this long. I guess the fact that I did 5 postings in a row on the very first day I started my blog should have been a clear indication that I'd get hooked to this blogging thing. And it's not a bad thing either :)

One year ago, if you told me you blogged, I would have gone like, yeah, so what? What's the big deal about it anyway? I wasn't a believer in blogging back then. I thought blogging was just another form of social networking, something teenagers use to get dates and perverts use to find victims! Shows you what kind of mentality I had back then didn't it?

Then when the underseas cables snapped sometime last year (before I started blogging) and everyone was screaming bloody murder cos they couldn't access their blog, I thought, what's wrong with you losers? It's not like it's the end of the world or something. But now, even if I have a 10 minute disruption of my internet connection and I can't get access my blog, I'll be screaming bloody murder at somebody. That is how much my perception of blogging has changed since then. And it's changed for the better if I must say so.

And with that admission, I humbly take both my feet out of my mouth and apologise to all bloggers out there for what I thought of them prior to my blogging days ... LOL! Yeah, it's been a year now since I've had this blog and in that time I've come to see the world of blogging in a different light. The new friends I've made, the cultures I've learned about, the money I've made (LOL). And the thing is, everyone in the blogsphere is so friendly and I mean in the genuine way. There are one or two exceptions of course but the majority of bloggers are all a fairly decent bunch of friendly and nice people.

And I speak from experience here (gee, only one year in the blogging world and I'm experienced it seems ... LOL!) cos all my visitors are such nice people who never fail to leave a kind comment or two, well, except you Adrian, who always have nice sarcastic words for me, but that's alright cos you are my best buddy after all :D I wish the whole world were like bloggers, then maybe we could all get along with each other in this world and they'd be no wars and such. But then, with some of our leaders here who think bloggers are just a stupid lying bunch of people, that's just wishful thinking I know, but one can dream, can't one?

One year ago, I'd have never thought I'd be this addicted to blogging. I'd have never thought I'd expose my life for all the world to see. I'd have never thought I could write so much. Gosh, I'd have never thought I could actually make some pretty decent money from blogging. If I'd have known, I would have jumped in the bandwagon much faster ... LOL! I must say the experience has been an enjoyable one and I'm really looking froward to blogging forever or at least as long as I'm able to, that is. After all I aim to be a blogging grandpa, remember? LOL!

But sometimes, as hard as it might be to believe, there are days when I don't know what to post. I've posted about my childhood days, my barber, being a spoilt child, ghostly encounters, my horrible neighbours, my best buddies, my work, my evil car and right up to my wonderful wife that sometimes I run out of things to say. Yes, even a big mouth like me sometimes just run dry of ideas. But because of the passion I have for blogging, I'll eventually come out with some long winded post to bore you guys. LOL!

Here's a big thank you to all of you who have in your own way made my blogging journey a memorable one. After all, without you guys stopping by and commenting every now and then this blog would be a very quiet place indeed. It's only because of your support all the days of the year that I've come to enjoy blogging and go this far. So, I'd like to thank all of you for taking the trouble and time to stop by Anything Goes! and leaving a kind comment or two. Without you guys I wouldn't be here.
