I’ve been Blogging for 10 years now

I never thought that I would be a blogger… at least this long.

It was always something I wanted to do because I enjoy writing and was always intrigued with the fact that I can share my opinion online and people will actually read it.

When I was younger I used to want to be a “professional blogger,” which I tried my hardest to accomplish. I think at the time it was mainly because I wanted money, but what fueled my ambition the most was that I had to create the product for the reader.

I was 16 years old when this site was created and my first post dealt with various types of poop. You can read it here. If you didn’t click the link than I will tell you that my first post was basically a list of goofy names given to various pooping scenarios such as “King Poop,” which is that big block of poop that you push out after eating Fourth of July BBQ all day.

From my first post to this one, I have wrote many stories ranging from life experiences, failed relationships, poetry, my opinions on technology, and when I started smoking weed, a category dedicated to my high thoughts.

My original idea behind this site was to create content that would “Explode” in your face and I think I somewhat did that. I haven’t been much of a blogger lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time in my Google Keep notes writing rhymes or on ableton live producing music. I can say that I need to pick this back up because the joy of brainstorming to find the write words brightens my day and encourages me to strive for me. (I don’t like any of these words I chose for that last sentence lol)

So here we are, 10 years later at the ripe age of 25. I’m glad I was able to keep up this hobby, even when I lost motivation and wouldn’t even type wordpress.com in my browser. I’m not the best blogger, nor do I consider myself the best writer, but at the end of the day its the fact that I had a goal in my mind and I went after it. I may have not became that famous blogger who got to sit in the house all day typing away at his keyboard, but I did become a better writing in my own way of doing things.

Awwwe, Well Happy Anniversary to me!!!

WordPress sent me a notification telling me that 6 years ago today is when I created this blog. Surprisingly I remember the day I actually made this little piece of shit site. Keep in mind that I got like 20 other wordpress sites so I may be confusing the beginning of another site with this one’s, but lets just say I was thinking very creatively that day. All I wanted to do was put together a site that allowed me to write about whatever I had going on in my life and it would simply just match the name.

After a long 10 minutes of thinking (I had no patience then), the name Exploding Rock came into my head. I believe I was a junior in high school, or at least going into that year. Since that historical moment I have been “practicing” my writing. I say it like this because over time you see me slowly develop into a “good writer”. I’m not the best and am I nowhere near a professional, all though I do tell myself I’m the greatest.

I’m still trying to get over my “is’s”, “its”, and passive words, but that just comes from me not blogging as much as I should. Besides that, here we are 6 years later and still going at it with my post about life, poetry, and just much more nonsense that comes out of my brain.

Thanks for being a reader! Keeping Tuning in for more stuff that has nothing to do with rocks!
