Blogging about blogging

Blogging can be a lot of fun.  If you haven't tried it and you have a lot that rattles around in your head all the time, you just might want to try it. It is also quite cathartic. Don't you have something you want to" get out", but you can't find anyone who really cares to listen to what you have to say?  This way, whether anyone reads it or not is not the point.  That you have a voice, is. 

That's the way I am.  I can't have a thought without thinking if this is something I might want to write about in my blog.  Of course, I set myself a pretty limited criteria. I try to stay away from politics and deep religious discussions.  Those I save for face to face when I can see the whites of the eyes I am speaking to.  That way I can assess their judgement and opinion. Those are personal topics that I don't want to tread on, personally.  I have my ideas, they have theirs. We'll leave it at that.  Besides those aren't my objectives.

I also won't talk about things that are very personal to me or someone who could be easily identified. 

If I do step on toes, I hope the person who owns those toes knows I mean no malice and intend to do no harm.  I am just using their story to tell my story. I hope they feel privileged that I find them interesting enough to want to share their story.

Of course, the biggest thing for my readers to realize is that much of what I say is with tongue in cheek.  I usually don't take myself all that seriously and hope people realize that is the vein in which I usually write.  I do get a bit serious about topics that need to be addressed in a more subdued tone, though. But I think there is enough serious stuff in this world to deal with without creating more. 

One thing I can assure you is, writing every day can be a real challenge.  Some days what I have to say is better than others.  So if you didn't like today's offering, stick around it just might get better.  Or worse.
