Great reading, and I second the idea of making it into a blog.
Yeah, great idea. Maybe even have some A/V chronicling (is that a word lol) of it to boot! I've thought of this but don't have the equipment to do so just yet. 8)
Nice idea to blog your progress. I wish I had the patience to sit down and do something like that. It will be good to look back in 6 months, a year, 2 years and see how you've progressed.
It might be an idea to add some sound clips to your blog so that people can hear your progress as well. I've got some clips from when I first started and I can't believe how much I've learnt since they were recorded. Another good way to chart your progress.
Also, why not stick the link to your blog in your signature so that people can check it regularly.
Just a couple of suggestions.
Good luck with the guitar playing and the blog.

I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.
It was them that turned me to drink.
Really enjoyed reading that! :D
By the way, you REALLY sound like my brother o_O
