December 18, 2003 

I though of something funny tonight. I started this site in April of 2001, and I cant remember the original reason for doing it. I know that shortly into its run, I decided it would be a place to go for my Gunnison and other friends who don't live here to catch up on me, see what I'm doing. So then it became a pseudo-journal for my life. Keeping in 1-way touch with my friends. After a while, I started posting funny things and stories that I had thought up and pondered over.

Before I knew it, my site was a Web Log. Without my knowing, as I was doing this, there were many many other people doing the same thing and, once again, little to my knowledge they came up with a name for it, blog, and tools and comments and everything under the sun to make an individual's personal pointless thoughts turn into the funny/insightful/stupid phenomenon it has become. If you don't believe me (which you probably do), I think the number of tools and features added to blogs these days speaks for itself. It just seems funny how a little niche of the net that I created for no purpose at all can now be lumped into the vast experience that blogging has become.

Also, New Years Eve we are getting everybody to go to 15th street tavern (which is a whole hell of a lot of fun) where the band Yellow Second will be playing. If you're not doing anything yet, you're now coming with us.
