Blogging is difficult to juggle between work, friends, and personal ambitions. I don’t know how people maintain a constant record of their daily or even weekly happenings. Not to mention finding the balance of knowing what you should and shouldn’t blog about. I don’t know if it’s because I’m an extremely personal or possibly impersonal person, but I never know what’s appropriate. It isn’t a matter of secrets per se, rather more the idea of creating a reasonable simulacrum of my life as I see it.
Blogs are very time-biased (← can’t think of the word meaning that) giving the impression that what is written is the most accurate account of either the writer or the events being written. It’s problematic because people don’t write blogs everyday (typically), because interesting things don’t happen everyday (again, typically), yet blogging must express unique events in a manner that suggests a person’s true nature. Right? By reading blogs we should develop an idea of the kind of person we believe the writer to be.
What I’m trying to say and justify is this: interesting things have been happening, but I don’t believe they reflect who/how I am. Accurately, or fairly, out of the context of my life. So I haven’t written about them. It may sound like johns, but it’s true.
Maybe one day I’ll get over this crux, but I like referencing my site from time to time to potential employers, so I gotta keep it classy. I haven’t started blogging on this site yet, but I plan to. So just keep all of this in the back of your mind while reading future blog entries.
