I'm Back and Things are Changing
January 02, 2008
It just hit me why my blogging grew stale. I got tired of being nice to people. I became worried about offending hypocrites, charlatans, and other shady characters. I never had a huge readership, but I had a large enough of one that I didn't want to lose readers.
I was so lame.
Why should I censor myself for the sake of the immoral? Why should I care if people I wouldn't like in "real life" read my blog? I've made some good friends through this blog; and my blog is a form of social networking. So shouldn't I just be myself and let those who will reject me, reject me?
The people I love all say they most appreciate my brutal honesty and candor. Why should I censor myself for those who I don't - and never would - love?
I suppose there is a time and place to be nice. But this blog isn't that place. Now isn't the time.
So I'm back, at least for a while. I expect to have fun. I will likely offend people.
I'm not one of those douche bags so full of himself that I will say: "If I'm not offending someone, I'm not doing my job." That's lame. People who write such things should be mocked.
But it's my blog. A post once cost me a job, and I survived. And, indeed, I am better off for it. My mind is most robust when I don't play ball. So I shall do whatever I want for now.
Thanks for reading.
