Tonight someone asked me why I blog. To think back I have been blogging since I was fourteen or so- when I came up with my online pseudonym, Dmbosstone, a combination of my two (then) favorite bands. The Definitive Dmbosstone was a name conjured up by my friend Will. But back to the question why do I blog? I think of it this as a journal of sorts, I can look back on and remember what I did two, three years ago on this day. Of course I am not as intimate or personal with this online public display of my life as I could be with a real old fashion journal- but I kinda like exposing this little view into my life.
Of course I am not the only one who blogs, lots of people do it. I read the blogs of a lot of my friends, and there are millions of blogs in the blogosphere. How many are there? Well blogcount is a blog that blogs on well, how many blogs there may be on the web. Well there is no definite number, the amount is well over millions. Live Journal has over 1.5 million active users, and who knows the myspace and friendster users that blog on their profiles as well.
A lot of people blog, and they all do it for different reasons- for me I like the act of reflecting back on life while at the same time allowing others to share in the ramblings I enjoy to write.
It has been awhile since I have updated, what have I been up to? Well last week I had the treat to see two baseball games. Thursday I went with my favorite interns to see the Orioles in Baltimore. The next day I won the company tickets to see the Nationals play. I went to RFK with Rebecca, a girl I haven’t seen in the longest time. I am so happy she’s living in Alexandria. Chelmsford peeps represent. I had a nice long weekend from work, I took the time to paint and clean up the bathroom. A new coat of paint, new shower curtains and a other improvements make the bathroom look so much nicer. Other wise I was a lazy ass for the rest of the weekend. For the 4th I went out with the MoCo crew to see some fireworks. The show last for half an hour- a big improvement from Lowell’s 15 minutes and longer than the twenty minute show in DC. However I still want to try and see the show in DC next year.
Short week at work but I know it is going to be a tough one. I can not wait for the weekend again. Oh, I forgot- I am switching to Verizon and I got a really sweet Razr in the process. Rock on.
