read an unmentionable blog recently. you know those random e-journals you stumble on when you're randomly surfing and it's all a random accident you're there at all? yeah, one of those.
after reading the latest entry, i realised that i knew this person. as i went down the entries, one jumped up at me. it went something like "WHO THE HELL GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO LINK MY BLOG? IT'S NOT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD!" or along those lines. quite obviously, i got my arse outta there straight away and there's no way im finding that site again.
so if your blog is not for all eyes, then why post on the internet? that's practically publishing it to the world, ain't it? everyone has problems. it's just how you choose to deal with it. write it down? draw it? talk to friends? talk to yourself even. putting it down, in an online diary, is a different matter. i understand the thinking, oh it's some kind of private thing with my inner circle...
with the internet, that's bullshit. it's internet for god's sake. it's where you do research, check your mail, chat with your friends, meet new people, check out blogs and mebe even have the occasional porn jump out at you.
for god's sake, i can even find the lyrics for 'i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts'.
things get around, ya know? the only way of having no one read what you post is, simply, not telling anyone where you've posted it.
ok. so what's a blog for? i've got mine cos i like writing and it's here that i do my occasional rambles and have opinions. you know everyone has different views and tastes, i like publishing mine on the net and finding out if anyone share them. don't bloody care if anyone's laughing at me, endorphins are good for you. come to think of it, i'd probably laugh at you too, if i read your blog.
right, going off to visit my daily blogs now. the best and longest blog i know, gotta be neil gaiman's. he's got an faq on it as well. and you find out things you ever knew, like he's coming to singapore!
