So, as I said at the end of my last post, I am really bad at posting on my blog. I thought when I first started it that I would be writing for it all the time and expressing my feelings and thoughts and it would be open for the whole world to see. Turns out, I am not good at keeping this thing updated and not too many people read it. (Although, that's probably from me not telling anyone about my blog and from not keeping it updated so that people want to read it.)
Why is it that I don't post a lot and why is it that I don't tell anyone about this blog so they can read it? I think I'm embarrassed. I don't know if people are going to want to read my blog. What if what I post isn't good reading material for someone's time spent on their computer? Now here is my predicament. A blog is a place for expressing your feelings and whatever you think about the world and life and other stuff. I shouldn't have to care about what other people think about my blog because I can just get over it by blogging about it and expressing my feelings through my words to other people who might think my blog isn't good. Hmm, I think I'm confusing myself right now. Let try this again.
I could keep just a journal and keep all of my thoughts to myself, but the fact that I have this blog means that I want people to know what I'm thinking about. On the other hand, the fact that I haven't told anyone about the blog means that I'm not sure if I want people to read what I'm thinking about. What if they think it's boring or stupid? On the other hand, it's a blog and they're for being boring or stupid or funny or sad or deep or whatever your feeling at the time. I'm also afraid to have people know about my blog because I don't update it that much, so people would just be looking at the same thing over and over again. However, maybe I don't update it that much because I don't have that many people reading it! I doubt this though judging by the amount of time I spend on facebook where I actually have a lot of friends that comment to me without me even posting anything personal.
Oh well. My conclusion of this entry is that I will just post when I do and when I feel like it and what I want to post. Maybe I'll get up the courage to share this with more people someday.

To blog, or not to blog: That is the question (of this decade, anyway).
I think the attitude of "I'll blog when I feel like it" is just fine for the kind of blog you're keeping. I was embarassed of my blog when I first started and had a lot of the same feelings you're expressing here. One of the nice things about the latest in blogging is the RSS feed, which lets me go to one (or two) pages where I can check the status of the blogs I like to peruse. That means I can go to your site (or Joe's) when there's new content, and skip it if there's not (which means you're not "wasting my time"). YOu also have the option of at some point tailoring this into a blog on a certain subject if you so choose, which might give you more guidance in what to write. All in all I'd say you're off to a fine start.
Oh yeah, and I miss you. :)
