Three years

Have I really been contributing to this wretched blog for three solid years?

Some days I have this notion that I'll one day fire up my computer, open my browser, click over to JeremyBear.com/blogger and discover posts I haven't written yet sitting there. Not only will my blog have been writing itself, it'll be writing about events that have yet to happen to me. The archives will link to future entries: I could read what it's like to turn 30 or 40. The Whoops-We're-Pregnant post or the My-Book's-A-Bestseller post... or even the Doctor-Says-It's-Cancer post.

I can't help but wonder how long I'll keep this up. If memory serves (and it seems to), I started this blog as a sort of "Can I Really Make It In California?" chronicle. Speaking honestly, I didn't really expect to hang in there with it. My life's been littered with half-assed attempts at an ongoing creative endeavor and there really wasn't any reason for a blog to be any different.

But I'm not hanging it up anytime soon. According to webstats, this blog is the most trafficked page on my website, including my homepage (which means the majority of folks coming here for the first time are exposed to my rambling before my scripts, reviews, resume, or even my portfolio. Funny, the blog started out as a happy little add-on to my website, and somehow it's taken over and turned into the purpose for the whole daggone thing.

I'd like to think I'll keep posting the rest of my life. We'll see.
