Blogging about blogs

This was my Google/Blogger/Blogspot blog prior to this current WordPress blog I am using. During the later part of my using that account, the entries were actually just feeds from my Multiply blog which was where I was really blogging:

See, even the last entries were the same. 😛

Anywho, I started this WP blog with this post on May 15, 2010. For what reason? Since I’m feeling kinda lazy explaining all over again, let me just copy the reason from that first post:

I almost always make one when a particular mood hits me: a life-altering lesson learned, a completely new perspective, you get the drift. I call this “Work in Progress” because that is what this is and this is what I am. And I think that says it all. I have no particular theme or topic in mind for this blog, just whatever comes to mind or strikes my fancy. We’ll just see how things would go.

So what was the real impetus for the birth of this blog? Was there a life-altering lesson learned? Was there a new perspective about something? Truth is I can’t even recall now that reason. Or if there even was a real reason aside from the fact that I was bored with both Blogger and Multiply. But I do remember debating over which platform to use for my new online thought bubble: WordPress, TypePad or Xanga? WP seems to be the least fussy of the three so I chose it.

All I know is I need a blog simply as an outlet for my random thoughts and musings, and maybe a place for some introspection every now and then. And hopefully find some others who could somewhat relate to whatever it is that I’m babbling about.

Just about anything goes on my blog, no limits (save for those confidential or too personal issues) on what I write here. And so far I am pleased to note that going back through my entries from the start, I see some semblance of growth. From the dark and sorta close-minded creature that I was, I was able to break some of my own restraints and venture out of my comfort zone. Just looking at my current theme/layout and comparing it with the screenshots of my old blogs should be enough hint of the changes I went through. There is less angst, hatred and anger. There is more of light, positive vibes and cheerful colors. But there is no less of me in here than there was before. I just evolved quite a bit and found that I could accommodate changes better than I thought I could. Yes, I am now more laid-back and open-minded about stuff that I long ago denied myself the pleasure of exploring. So indeed, my blog title became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts. And I am happy about that. 🙂
