and it all comes full circle

Greeting Moggers,While many have pointed out I missed my one year anniversary, it actually is today. Today you say, but your MOG page says you joined on October 5th, how can this be?Well my MOG journey began on the 4th when a friend told me of a site I should check out. I was skeptical but went over and created my page the next day and really never thought I would head back. Over the next few days I began to log on and add things to my page, things that I thought should be there for people to see. Items like my first concert, my first album and bands you should be listening to. I got creative with the skins, and even took a photo of myself specifically to put on my MOG page. This of course was a first for me, a picture of me on the internet and I was not naked, but hey people change. Then came the 10th, and I went ahead and posted my first MOG. This is when I became hooked and it's why I am celebrating my anniversary today. The post was nothing special, some rambling on how I promised myself to lose 30 pounds. No music news,no artists tagged, just something I wanted to get out there. The post got three responses, yet that was enough to let me know people were listening. I happened to be going through a change in my life, I had quit teaching and was ready to start a new career. Hopes were high, and I thought this would be a great way to keep track of all the things that were going on in my life. Over time my posts became less about me, and more about music. I also noticed more and more people seemed to be reading, as I was busy floating around the mog-o-spere trying to keep up on all the other posts that constantly were flooding my inbox.While things on the work front seemed to hit a brick wall, MOG kept me sane. To say it's a release to come onto the computer after a long day would be an understatement. My time on MOG became sacred, and still is to this day.It's not to say there have not been bumps along the way. A lost hot potato, my favorite trusted Fedge and the ever so unreliable mog-o-matic have made me want to just delete my MOG page and move on. Yet I keep coming back, as do most the people who are still here a year after I started.Now I look back and realize I am pretty much back where I started one whole year ago. The one difference would be that I have gone back to teaching and am pleased to inform anyone who is listening that I will have my own classroom again starting on Monday. Mog-o-matic, well still not working and as a result I have had the same "last songs played" listed for the last few months. I guess I should be happy it doesn't read 70's Porn Music, although I now have that cd in my collection....... thanks Troy. It seems with as much as MOG has changed over the last year, it still remains the same. Still the place I like to lose myself in after a long day of watching my two year old who doesn't like to nap. Still the place I go to in order to find out about music that I might not be able to hear. The people may come and go, but I do think you will see Rawkkiddo for another year or so. I will leave you all with a little something that says me. Its a page from my lesson plan book, and yesterday I went out and bought a new one to get ready for my new class. When I first joined MOG I didn't think I would be coming back, similar to when I quit teaching. I guess some things are in your blood.
Oh, and New Wave Wednesdays how can I not add to the party?
