It was back when personal blogs were popular and I tried to use it as a pseudo journal. It was an easy way for me to share my experiences and thoughts with my family and friends. I wrote it in pretty regularly (like once a month), until it just became too much a hassle and I stopped updating it.
Since that day I have cycled through two or three more blog phases. I started sharing on Facebook and on Twitter. I even got a Google+ account, but I keep coming back to blogging. I think there is something about a more long-form narrative that you can't get on typical social media sites. I don't really expect people to read my blogs, but I still write in order to improve my writing skills and to de-stress.
While I don't have a specific topic for my blog, it will probably be confined to accounting, religion, Oregon, and my hobbies.
