Alright. Let’s take a look at when I really updated you on my life last…
(reading…)
Wow. Aside from two lines left for a significant achievement in my own life, I haven’t really said much since January’s mundane post.
Let’s remedy that.
So check this out.
Last maybe 2 weeks this site was offline because I was thinking I needed to do something different besides blog. So I just disabled my blog for a bit while I put up my little growing plant picture to represent something else was being built there.
Then I just let it stay empty for a few days.
I just now reinstated my blog… I’m really kinda lazy to build something totally unique here, so once again we’re back. Or I’m back, rather.
While messing around with my site, I figured I should put in a wiki. Why? Just because. It’s up but I’m not giving the address out just yet, I want to figure out how to restrict access to it.
Now that I’m writing this, I really have to talk about some things. Mainly, what kind of content you should expect to see here, here on out, and my thoughts and concerns about it.
First, the content. I want to post more objectionable content on this site. I never said I was writing this to be SFW per se, or that I write this expecting my family members to somehow stumble upon it. I’m getting older, though, and as easy as it was for me to separate my school life from my family life back when I was a teenager in high school, I really have to kick that habit and reconcile the different lives I’m leading… this will just make me saner as a person so I don’t have to think about who I told what and what not. I’m a man now, and I say this to myself because I think it’s high time I started taking accountability for my choices, and if I’m going to run a blog about my life, it better be about all my life, and not just the tips of the icebergs that I share with you. Doing anything less would make a liar out of me, as far as I’m concerned. I was fearless in ‘03, I’ll be fearless now.
I have misgivings about this, though. I’m concerned that family members who hold me in such light back home will be shocked to find that I have my vices. I am a member of the United States Air Force, and I’m concerned that future supervisors and commanders might read this blog and think I’m crazy or somehow unfit to lead because of the opinions I hold, and admittedly sometimes my opinions conflict with each other.
The internet is a crazy invention, isn’t it? To me, it’s a method of communication. Much like I speak my mind when I’m with friends, I have to treat this medium as me speaking, and when I say something here I need to be telling the truth, all of it. I think that even if I didn’t run a blog, people will find out sooner or later what my opinions and values are, and I don’t try to hide them in my day-to-day real life, so I guess I shouldn’t be hiding them here, either. I’ll speak, and I’ll take responsibility for the consequences, for better or for worse.
That said, I guess I’m due for an update. Switching to TJ…
