I joined B4M on November 16, 2005 as prompted by AndrewK who informed me that Tim had launched his own blogging site. I thought to myself..."well I don't know Tim all that well, but hey...he's a SWHS class of '98 alum, and a Quinnipiac University alum...so we've got that in common...I'll check it out"...
At the time I had no idea that I would log into this site at least 3-5 times a week for the next 2 years. So for a little while there I got discouraged when this place was deluged with high school spanish students and other ruffians of various natures...but here I am, 2 years later...I am still here.
I don't know if any of you feel the same way, but I think that B4M 2.0 has helped to bring back that same feeling that the original core group had when we all started blogging here...it's as close to old times on B4M that it ever will be.
So a lot has changed in 2 years...then...I was at a job I hated, in a town I hated, and feeling generally lost and angst-ridden about how damn bored and unfulfilled I was. Now...we'll I've been married for over 3 years, I have a 6 month old daughter, I'm living in a town that I love (although I never thought I would love this town), and I have a job (3 of them actually) that I love.
So...I deleted almost all of my old blogs!
Why?
Because, I feel like I need to start fresh here...I want to try to write something substantive like I did when I first started on B4M...I want to avoid the whiney self-effacing bullshit blogs that seemed to spew from my keyboard for the last two years.
So in a way...I'm back...but I suppose I never really left...but what's the point of lurking around only occasionally adding a snarky comment here an there...I'd like to think I have something to say...I guess we'll see.
