Someone pointed out to me today that I’ve been blogging since 2002. Has it been that long already? I honestly didn’t think I’d last this long. Heck, I didn’t even think blogging would be this big. Can anyone even imagine where blogging will be in 10 years?

I think for the most part the past 3 years of my life are pretty accurately reflected in my blogs. At least I hope they are. I try to be fairly open and candid with my writing. Sometimes successfully. Sometimes not. Where other forms of communication are limited by my introversion and the pressures of social normality, I find blogging a low-pressure medium where I’m rarely accountable for anything. My normal everyday staggering and stammering in public can be easily back tracked and deleted online. Blogging might be the single most therapeutic means for passive aggressive people like me to release all that pent up daily tension.

Which brings up the question – "What did people do before blogs?" Is there a graveyard of diaries somewhere out there? Who here still keeps a diary? What was the last entry in your diary? I’d imagine mine went something like this...

Dear Diary,

Welcome to Dumpsville. Population, you. I am leaving you for this hot new Blog with long legs and huge wazoos.

Kindest Regards,
Me

"Kindest Regards"...Worst. Sign-off. Ever. Those of you who use this for your business emails. Stop. Now.

I wish people would just sign what they mean. Like "Haughtily Yours", "Superciliously Yours", or "Irreverence and All That Jazz". Be unruly...let it fly for God sakes!
Anyhow...I’m rambling...

My birthday is a few days away and this year, I’d like to not puke and get carried out of the party for a change. I think that’s a sign of maturity. However, just in case that doesn’t pan out too well, I’d recommend everyone who’s attending to wear splash resistant clothing.

Sassy and Frank,
Khiem
