Yes, today is the day I consider to by my blog anniversary, also known a "blogiversary." This is the date 4 years ago I started it up on a service known as Scribble.nu. I had had my own website since 1998 (originally on Geocities) and I was using the Gbook.nu service. They were pimping Scribble and I decided to use it. I've gone through 3 difference content management system and a transfer from gesticulate to my own domain but I'm still going at it. Complaining, fussing, moaning, praising, exclaiming excitement, and growing up. Boy, it's been a roller coaster.

So, to celebrate my 4^th blogiversary, I bring you a collection of blog-related stuff:

This is a copy of my first post:

Well, first entries are always the hardest...
…because I can't think where to start.

Well, I'm addicted to making winamp skins. I have to use a skinner to make them first but once that's done, I see what I can do to make them better using my graphic editor. As I am writing this...I'm making yet another Britney Spears skin for my computer.

Rotten people suck! I just can't understand WHY people have to be mean. What ever happened to "Do Unto Others As You Would have Them Do Unto You"? The Golden Rule. If you want people to be nice to you, treat others nicely. I've encountered both at work and on the Internet that I'll be nice to people and they'll be as rude a…thinking…a…I'm drawing a blank……well let's just say a COCKROACH. I know all too well about being snappy when you're not in a good mood but seems like there are some people that are ALWAYS crabby or always out to screw others over. I hate people like that.

Well, how was my first entry? Sucky...well yeah but that's me.

1. What blogger inspired you to FINALLY start a blog? No one really inspired me. I was using the Gbook.nu service for my website and they were pimping Scribble.nu, a sister site. I decided to try it and I liked it. However, after 250 entries, I was tried of the down time and the slow loads (hey, it was free, what more could I expect?), I moved onto Blogger in March 2001 and used Blogger/DotComments until February 2002. At that time, I made the switch to MT and have been hooked on MT since.

2. What blog do you visit the most often everyday? Wow. Probably a toss up of Laura and Lynda.

3. What blogger do you think you have the most in common with? I'm not sure but probably Laura, except she's married with a baby and I have neither.

4. Which blog can you be sure will make you laugh hard? The Sarcastic Journalist (who just had a baby girl yesterday morning!), because she'll say things I wish I could say.

5. Which blogger leaves you the best/funniest comments? Misbah and Trish

6. What blogger do you wish would update more often? Laura's brother, Dave. he's pretty humorous when he does post.

7. Which blog do you wish more people would read? All of the links I have listed on my blogrolls and links sections.

8. Which blog do you learn the most from? Lynda & Kristine

9. What blog is your newest addition? Kar
