There is one inherent problem with blogging, on a personal level at least. The problem doesn't occur on weblogs regarding progress of a project or one of a technical nature. However, when, like me, there is some random guy in one corner of the internet spewing out crap every now and then, one can get oneself into a bit of a pickle.
You see, when you're blogging about feelings and emotions, you have to be quite selective about what you write. If you state your true feelings then people can get hurt. I realised this before I wrote my first ever post.
But the catch is that if you hold back on expressing yourself, you can miss out important stuff and people can misinterpret how you feel and what you're thinking. Which blatantly sucks.
But then I guess at least having a "diary" public, it means that people see some of your feelings and if they do have a problem with them, it gets everything out into the open.
I think that the problem usually comes when people don't realise how much you hold back. You and me, we're professionals, we can't do doing with this emotion stuff in public :D
I decided to drop all the emotional stuff when I moved onto Shrieking.net - if people want to know how I'm feeling they can give me a call. I keep my blog for talking shit about the things that entertain me - it saves on misunderstandings, even if it does make for quite a dull read. Ah well :)
