Cosmic Wheel after one year.

Although my profile shows that I have been a Blogger member since July 2004 (July 12, 2004, to be precise), today marks the first anniversary of my first post on "my humble space in the blogosphere."

I became a Blogger member so I could post comments on a blog started by a big time Wes Clark supporter as a result of what was happening at the Clark Community Network at that time. This particular supporter and many others, myself included, were voicing displeasure over the Kerry/Edwards ticket and the approach that Kerry was using and what he and Edwards were NOT doing. All of us were going to support the ticket, and we were saying what we felt the ticket needed to do and why. What we encountered was ridicule and abuse, and one of us (the aforementioned big time supporter, whose online handle was Kramer) started a separate blog on July 11.

I figured that I would not do anything with this blog. I had a blog at the Clark Community Network (still do, actually), but published only 17 posts there from September 2003 to July 2004. By August 2004, I realized I had a lot of things I wanted to talk about, but given that the CCN was (and still is) General Clark's official site, I felt that that would not be the appropriate forum for much of my writing. So on August 3, 2004, I published my first post here, Tommy Franks in the news; first in a series. Since then, I have posted 203 times (not counting this one).

And, by the way, I am still a supporter of Wes Clark.

To those people who have taken the time to read anything here, I say "thank you." For those who have actually left comments here, I say "thank you, again."

I have been taking a break from posting due to a heavy work load, but I'm about to get started up again. After all, the Cosmic Wheel will always turn...
