Time Flies....

On this day, March 20 2003... your humble blogger made his first appearance on the "blogosphere". It was a shot in the dark, more out of boredom and a way to avoid sending email dispatches about the Iraq war than any desire to say something meaningful. I truly had no idea how or where it would end up, or how long it would last..

Well, here we are today THREE YEARS LATER... It's been a thrilling, bumpy ride.. reaching dizzying heights and sometimes sickening lows. My enthusiasm for blogging has not diminished yet, although there are days when I'm just not inspired to write anything.

Of course, there is no way I could have completed three years without your ongoing support, each and every one of you. You are the power that keeps this engine running and for that I am eternally grateful.

Looking forward to several more years of hell-raising!

Yours truly

Zaydoun

  1. Happy anniversary! - Gosh you're ancient :P

    It seems like yesterday, I still remember how I searched the net for blogs on the war, and yours was one of the hits.
    A year later I started blogging - so thanks for being an inspiration!

  12. Upstairs Blogger... Tough question!

    There have been so many special posts, I'd say the ones that generated the most discussions would be the ones to remember.

    The most special post for me was the one I wrote on the 22nd anniversary of my father's death (Sept 13). It was a rare occasion for me to address that subject and the comments that followed were very special to me.

    I also enjoy the posts that manage to get some laughs, because that is always a surprise. I didn't know I had it in me!

  16. Zaydoun,

    Time flies indeed, I remember my freshmen first semester away from q8 stuck to the monitor reading qhate throughout the day from March during the war, I remember the atmosphere and the long strench of alarms going off during the war even though I weren't in q8. O now I'm graduating this semester(it was like yesterday man).

    I've been no more than a spectator all along (selfish?? freaky?). I admire your work and those of other bloggers that stood up, and guess I owe you a big THANKS.
