As I was sorting out last night’s update, I realised that this blog has hit a bit of a milestone!

I first started posting on this back in March 2002, exactly TWENTY YEARS AGO!! The first couple of posts – about needing to move out of my rental house, and also going to see a new band called ‘thebandwithnoname'(!) – were actually written on the 13th March, so I’m a week late in commemorating it, but it’s weird to think I’ve been posting on here for so long!

When I first started it, I was doing it using ‘Blogger’ – not sure if that’s still really going anymore… I converted it into a WordPress blog when Google stopped letting Blogger host it on your own site, and I think it’s been through a couple of different looks before settling on how it appears now.

My updates have often been somewhat sporadic, but I’ve always posted at least a few times each year, so it probably is a reasonably good record of my life for the past two decades. I’m sure looking back on some of the stuff I’ve written in the past would make me cringe, especially with the way a lot of things have turned out, but I’m of the mind that it’s what I was thinking at the time, so it stays there!

Something I have noticed more recently is that it seems like I’m off out all time on nights out, which certainly isn’t the case! It’s just that so little else has been happening that when I do go out, I usually post about it, so it makes it seem more of a thing than it actually is! I probably need to start blogging about more mundane stuff as well!!

Anyway, I’d be very surprised if this blog goes on for another 20 years, but I’ll keep posting for as long as I’m able to!
