Ok, maybe not excellence, but I have been blogging for three years, which is cool. It’s always fun to look through the archives and see what I was talking about at [some given point]. I can walk through noteworthy events in my life that I definitely don’t remember.
It occurred to me recently that there are people who are alive today who have blogged throughout most of their adolescence and will continue to until they die. What an incredible record of a person’s life, all of it autobiographical. I hope families will realize the values of these, and keep their presence online. Archive.org’s wayback machine doesn’t really like my blog, but it has a couple snapshots of the old SomJuan.com. I’m going to try my hardest to keep some form of a blog running for the rest of my life (hopefully right here). It would be incredible to look back on this 10 or 20 or more years from now.
Don’t worry blog, I promise to keep you as almost in the loop as you always were.
