Today's an anniversary of sorts. I started blogging exactly six months ago. I'll be honest -- I'm surprised I've kept at it. I'd been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a couple of years. If you know me, you know I'm pretty good at coming up with ideas but pretty bad at executing on them. For example, a couple of years ago I decided to start a religion. It was called Religion de Miguel. No, it wasn't based on worshipping me. Religion de Miguel had its own backstory, a messiah, daily high holy time (12:34PM, in case you're wondering), and even a Facebook page (which I didn't start). But, it kind of faded into oblivion. It still gets some mention around the house and with a few of its devoted followers but we're no longer actively recruiting. Maybe I'll pick it up again someday.
Unlike Religion de Miguel, I think blogging is here to stay. I'm not quite as obsessed with it as I was at the beginning. But, it's still pretty important to me. The good news is that I have more ideas than time to post but I can live with that. To help me out, Nick bought me a little notebook to carry around so that I can jot down ideas as they come to me.
I still have a lot of goals for the blog. Right now, I'm trying to get to more readers from around the world. I've been stuck on 10 countries (hello, Luxembourg) for a while now and that's been a bit frustrating. Perhaps I should post about the women's World Cup. Who knows, maybe that will get me some views from Equatorial Guinea.
