Just a happy moment that I want to share.

Chris, a new friend on twitter in the Manchester area, recently blogged about how I inspired him to start blogging again (in this post). Wow it’s kind of a cool feeling that my writing, which is often times very scattered and unfocused, helped to add another voice to the blogosphere. Definitely a highlight and uplifting moment in my rather disappointing week. From reading the post I gather that Chris does, in fact, have plenty to blog about and I look forward to reading more from him in the future (quick tip – don’t blog too much about work, I learned the hard way).

As mentioned on the About Me page, I’ve been blogging since 2004 although most of that has been behind the walls of MySpace. Initially I was inspired to blog because I love to write and the instant gratification of having my words published to a captive audience (at least in my head they’re captive) was a ridiculous high, better than any drug.

The whole WordPress blog came about primarily because of my move and separation from everything I love, but I actually took the leap because I was inspired by the writings of the Web Strategist, Community Guy, and the Idea Engine man. I’ve met all three of you, currently have the pleasure of working with one of you, and look forward to more drinks with one of you in particular (hint – lemon drops were your kryptonite in Vegas). Thanks to their genius, not only do I live to blog another day (oh man I can be cheezy), but I always have insightful daily reading to look forward to. Here’s to paying it foward.
