Now that more and more people will be reading my blog, due to my mass email and the link on my website, I want to give a disclaimer, though I hate doingthis for my writing, but for my protection....
My blog is not my diary.
I don't write a lost of whats really going on inside my head, or the real relationships in my life, or what I really write in my little brown suede notebook. I write what I know can be public. That said...
Not All of It is True
I exaggerate a whole lot in my blog. And fictionalize a bit too if I need to make a point or am telling a story. Sometimes it's all true, like when I wrote about Chase who died. Or when I write about feeling frustrated or lost. Even then.....
It's a Writing Tool
So the way I tell a story or write something is for a reason, whether sarcastic, or honest, or simple, or casual, or more formal...I use this as a writing tool. I even edit some of my entries to apply to some minor writing jobs.
I Fully Accept It's all About Me
I complain, I judge, I tease, I insult, I discuss, I proclaim without evidence. And I think that is ok in my blog because it is MY BLOG and you are reading MY BLOG. And I accept that any nuerosis or unreasonable statments are about me and my issues. I know that when I write them. I am not writing an opinions column in the NYtimes or reports.
I hope you can still enjoy my blog. It's start to take a different shape than what it used to be. I write less and less about what I am doing and write more about my observations. I won't feel offended if you stop reading, or if you don't like what i say or disagree. I am puttin git out on the web. I know that will happen.

Blogs are a weird thing, indeed. A lot of my parent's friends like to read mine and I fear they misinterpret a lot of what I write. Perhaps that's both my responsibility and my failure as an author.
But yeah, I hear what you're saying.
I purposely give my friends silly names. Then, when they think I'm talking about them, I'm all "nu-uh! I was just talking about my friends Hooter and LodgeLady. Can't you read?" And then they're all "but I thought those were just our nicknames." And then I'm all "QUIT TAKING BLOGS SO SERIOUSLY IT'S MEANT FOR ENTERTAINMENT NOT FOR THE AIRING OF ONE'S INNERMOST THOUGHTS, IDEAS, FEELINGS, EMOTIONS ETS; IF YOU PLAN ON TAKING IT SERIOUSLY, GO KILL YOURSELF." And then they're all "how could I tell you were SPEAKING with the CAPS LOCK on?" And I'm all "Once again, it's a blog; get over it."
But that's just me.
MM, hhahaha, my thoughts exactly.
Charlie...thanks, I'm glad you hear me and I'm not crazy.
