Something I didn’t realize but I wrote my 1,000th post earlier today. Unfortunately, it was to bring you the news about the death of Josh Hancock, the St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who died in a car accident on Sunday.
Back when I started this in November 2005, I never thought I’d ever build up a loyal reader base. I got started blogging because a friend, Lucie, told me I should express my thoughts. So I did, and that’s when Random Thoughts got it’s start over at Blogger. Over time, I made many changes to the design of the site and at times I got bored with doing it, so the posts were few and far between. Then once the end of summer started to roll around, I was writing more and more. Now I am writing about four to seven posts a day. Then came the switch to where I am now using WordPress on my own domain.
A few weeks ago, I had decided I wanted to change the name from Random Thoughts. So after thinking, I came up with the current name, SOX & Dawgs. The reason I chose this name was because 85% of the posts were about my two favorite teams, the Boston Red Sox and UCONN Huskies.
Some of my articles have been featured on Deadspin, Vizuble and I have had numerous blogs link to my site as well. It has even led to doing a radio show with fellow bloggers, Anthony and Jason. That is something I enjoy so much doing on a weekly basis. Yeah occasionally just like when I am writing, I don’t really want to do it. But once you get started, you start to get excited about it and keep going.
I just want to thank everyone for their support and thank you very much for reading my rants and thoughts and analysis of the teams I love.
