(for gracie, who's forever in a fishbowl... and the spectators who conveniently hyperanalyze her every move.. nonmove.. unmove.)
dear reader,
a blog is a blog is a blog, right? WRONG. the question lies in the intent. on one hand there is transparency, on the other there is visibility. there is a fine line between the two, one i have crossed (unapologetically) numerous times. to establish what one wants to achieve is just the tip of the iceberg. what one actually achieves is a different story altogether.
we are not out to make a determination as to who has the purest of intentions, this is, in fact, the information superhighway, not the highway to heaven.
blogging is not for the faint-hearted. it is a battle of wills as much as it is a battle of wits. tirade from the other camp is to be expected. yes dear, there is an "OTHER CAMP".
the moment you blog, you have waged a silent war--however aware or clueless you might be. you have set yourself up for target. you would have to arm yourself for retaliation is inevitable.
and so the action ensues, as long as you continue to display the nimble (or otherwise) gesticulations of your mind (or lack thereof) via one blog entry after another... and even in your pauses daggers are being cast. assumptions are being made. ie:
1. you don't have anything more to write about since you're so shallow and you've already scraped the length of your surface (read: all that there is to you); 2. you are busy with the problems that are plaguing your relationship (which the other camp so relishes to destroy); 3. you have, hopefully, been hit by a truck and suffered a concusion to the brain and have since been unable to log on to your blog client; 4. you have suddenly realized your writing prowess is no more and the other camp's prolific imagination--as garishly displayed in a voluminous metanarrative on existentialism--has rendered you speechless, in this case BLOGless, for an extended period of time. et cetera... et cetera...
the possibilities are endless. all palatable to the mind that conjures them. the wicked glee springs from there. aaah, your cue to jump in on the bandwagon... pffft!
please people, just because anybody can, doesn't mean everybody should. it does not follow that though thou may blog, thou shall blog.
but if you wish, and if you so insist, then by all means...
just keep in mind that THIS CAMP is well equipped and all too able.
