The Bob Gentry Journal

1 year ago today

Filed under: Uncategorized — Bob Gentry @ 5:23 pm

It was 1 year ago today that I posted:

Hello Everyone,

I’ve been keeping an online journal since 2001 but it’s been somewhat hidden. I thought about just making that one a “public journal” but then I realized that wouldn’t be such a good idea. So why have a public one at all? Why not? ;)

Anyway…I’ll try to update as much as I can. And for anyone reading …I only hope my life is worth reading…either way, It’s always nice to document.

365 days later and I couldn’t be more pleased with creating a public blog…

Thanks to anyone who has been reading and to the new online friends I’ve made just this year alone from blogging. A year goes by pretty fast! I’ve been pretty good at writing a little something each day…it may not be Earth Shattering stuff….but it’s been great fun for me :)

I heart Bloggers and Blogs emoticon

Val back away from the blogcake! It appears you have a serious case of blogitis that if blogtheraphy doesn’t help then someone may have to perform a blogdectomy.

Thanks…i had a journal on livejournal.com since 2001 but I was really worried about making a public one…so far it’s been great.

Congrats on your 1 yr blogaversary! :) It’s been a terrific experience for me, too. It’s a cozy way of bridging the distance between people all over the world, like expanded email only far more interesting! I think someone on my blogroll recommended stopping by your site, but I can’t remember who. Surfed here via Blog Explosion. Nice layout! :) I love piano and music. Is that a pic of you?

Thanks for stopping in and be sure to send a super thanks to the person to sent ya my way ;)

yeah…that’s me on the piano… there’s certainly a zillion pictures of myself on this whole website…probably way too many ;) …on the other hand…i like to use it as a scrapbook so whenever i get the chance i post photos ;)
Hope you stop back! hug!

Blogging can be so addictive. It’s amazing sometimes how I find people blogging. Sometimes even getting your butt beat on Battle of the Blogs can be something which brings new readers and friends.

Congratulations on your blog b-day, Bob.
