400
This is my 400th blog post recorded on my new site. I have written more but they’re stuck in the ether of xanga and the bowels of cyberspace. My earliest posts here date back to 2002. That’s almost 7 years worth of blog writing. I love reading my old posts. It reminds me of different phases I went through, events that happened, and different ways I’ve thought. It’s interesting to see how I wrote and how I thought, the things I was concerned enough to write about.
These days, I want to write so much. So many different things on my mind. I know not many people read what I write. Many times my posts are long and verbose, not very interesting and boring. But I don’t write for people. I write to formulate my thoughts, for without it, it’s all a jumbled mess in my mind. I write to think clearly, to show myself what I think, feel, and believe. Lately, it’s been causing me to write slower. I ponder over thoughts. I mull on ideas, turning them over, writing and revising, and revising and writing. I’ll save a draft and think about it. I’ll jot down ideas and come back to them later. My posts have become more infrequent but hopefully they’ve become more developed in content and composure.
So here’s to number 400 and to many more to come deo volente.
