Out of Normal: Blogging 101

September 10, 2003

Blogging 101

Upon entering the world of blogging, it is imperative that you learn the culture and etiquette of this realm.

For many of us, we write here what we would normally write in a personal diary, but we choose to share our experiences with any who care to read. Unfortunately, many of us have found ourselves self-editing out of fear of the repercussions that this may have on our personal lives.

Personally, I share many of the things going on in my life, but I choose to leave most of my private details to my offline diary. Yes, there are some of you out there who are privy to more of my personal details, because we have developed a relationship in which I feel comfortable sharing them. If you are one of these people, you know it, you don't need to guess about it at any point. If you aren't one of these people, I'm sorry. If you aren't, and want to become one of them? Try sending an email once in awhile, or pick up the telephone. Please don't expect that after a handful of emails that I'll bring you into the "Inner Sanctum." I don't work like that.

I think that it is all wrapped up quite nicely in the movie "Chasing Amy," during a discussion between Jay and Silent Bob. Jay assumes that he knows all of Silent Bob's life secrets and he retorts with a brilliant statement: "Bitch, what you don't know about me could just about fill the grand fucking canyon." I don't intend that statement in that form to be a message to any of you. My readership is a GREAT group of people. Sure, sometimes I say things that may shock some of you. For what it is worth, this blog is who I am. It is my insane crazy rants. It is my inner fears. It is my sobriety. It is my drunkenness. It is my neurotic episodes combined with mind numbing reality.

Thanks for being part of my readership. If you come away from here with a little more insight, a little entertained, or have a mind that is open enough to share a new perspective, I have done my part.

Goodnight.

I guess I've never stopped to put that kind of perspective on it. I too keep things private, but that's because by nature I thought we're that way (people). Thanks

Hear, hear! The Grand Canyon? What most people don't know and only a few can guess would fill two Grand Canyons...all interesting stuff - maybe I need to start my book outline... Namaste', Broch....you are a incredible source of enlightenment and laughter.

Broch, what I don't know about you could just about fill a skinny stripper's g-string; and even then, what I don't know...I'll just make up anyway. ;) Seems as though; however, you sound apologetic here. Not sure why you care, or would want to tell, certain parts of your blogging community where they stand within your circle. Better to leave them guessing...

Nose knows where the nose goes. No apologies from here, never again. I will not apologize for who I am, what I believe, or how I express myself.
