Quandaries of blogging.
So I am at a loss.

I started this blog to have a place where people (friends, family, and coworkers) can read about my trip to Israel. Now lots of friends and family have the address and knowing this, I have to be careful what I write.

Sometimes I want to complain or whine about things, but don’t know if anyone I know continues to check back and read my latest posts. I don’t want to moan about co-workers or whine about family members as I don’t want to hurt anyone or cause any reason to jeopardize my job.

So my choice is to either continue writing tame posts or start another blog under a different name. As I don’t feel like having an alternate ego/personality in another blog, I guess I will continue as I am now.

Any thoughts?

I think the best part about blogging is the ability to write whatever is on your mind without fear of consequence. I reccomment going to the alterego.

First of all I would like to thank you for your comment on my blog(yours was my first comment received).Also as far as your dilemma with blogging,I would keep your work life and family life separate,because you will always be wondering who read what every time someone starts acting differently around you.Starting another blog is no big deal and all you need to do is come up with a new meaningful blog name.Just because you start a new blog doesn't mean you have to become a different person.

Yea, I have not let on about this to anyone I know exactly for the same reason. But, at the same time, Ive never been a person who cared much about what I said of others as long as my own private feelings were preserved:) Now, that doesn't make me a jerk, but it sure allows for less stress in the noggin when I need to vent:P I think if you have to reach out to those you know to get attention to your writing and fear what you write, you are doing yourself a disservice. IOW, dont tell the ones you complain about to read. How stupid is that to say "hey, look at this" and then you look and see some crap that makes you seem like a terrible person?:P It's like walking into a pie or water balloon but more painful maybe.

When I started this blog, it was mainly to have a place where people (friends, family, and coworkers) could come and read about my trip to Israel. I have come to enjoy writing my thoughts and antics so I dont know who all will read more than just the one post. Thus the reason for my quandry.

Well--and take into account my brain and body are not at 100% right now:P--Id say you have yourself quite the lil pickle:P I suppose that's why there are other sites to use:P If I wanted people who know me well to read my stuff, I'd post it where I am better known...like MySpace or Facebook, etc. etc.
