but first, why blog? some would say that it allows them to access to a large network of people, friends and family whom they otherwise would not be able to catch up with. honestly, do i think those in my life would have the time and energy to read the amount of verbal diarrhoea i churn on an almost daily basis? nope.
the reason behind is way more narcissist. it depicts MY world, MY thoughts, MY feelings, MY life. it is empowering to know that someone on the other side of this screen is hanging onto the words i say (so what if it constitutes a small fragment of entirety?) i mean all that i say on this blog. even if that emotion/cognition only lasts for a moment. because that moment in time, as i am living it, is all that matters to me then (and maybe now). but the point is, i put it on because i want you to read it. whether you are a friend, a foe or someone i will never meet.
so why cryptic? because while i am okay with telling the world certain things, i wont know for sure the people who experience them with me would appreciate the fact that all is published. more importantly, we live on a planet that is big brother-ish as it is. i dont need another avenue for people to snoop around my life. so i see it as a way to exercise control over people finding out what i want them to find. p.s. i respect people who post beentheredonethat entries. because i always think they leave open floodgates for bitebacks in the arse.
if someone can connect the dots - link my blog entries to reality, this person would be able to gain great insights about my life. and if this same someone manages to find my other secret blog which is not known to anyone, then i can be blackmailed forever. so if someone who is reading this does succeed in the former or the latter (or both. the horrors!), do remember to let me know so that i can prepare money of whathaveyous.
meanwhile, enjoy the words :)
