Blog Tells What? EDITED!!!

 

EDITED: TO MENTION WHAT PROMPTED THIS POST? A friend and I were having a discussion a few days ago and we talked about blogging and the content it involves and who, what, when and why people blog. Then she spoke specifically about my blog and asked how or why I chose to only mention certain things and did I feel I had developed a certain writing style since writing is what this is about for me anyway.

Although, I've kinda brushed up on the blogging topic before, I thought the conversation we had definitely sparked a flame, which brought me to put it down here on what better place...?

What I choose to not discuss in my/this blog:

1. Specific details about my job and work environment = There's a certain confidentiality and work ethic clause which ties to this. I've known some people to lose their jobs over blogging about the specifics in the workplace.
2. Personal Finances = Do you really need to know this?
3. Personal Relationships = Just know that a sistah still mingles while still single.
4. Specific personal and trifling details about friends and family = Come on now, this is a world-wide thing here and the cache lives on forever. Plus they would never forgive me for it.
5. Politics = BOooo-RING!!!! It's too warped and too much corruption, plus it's just not my cup of tea.
6. Racism and Hatred = Why? I'm colorblind! Plus a sistah loves everybody until they cross up on me, then I only love them a little bit.:) Life is too short! Can we all just get along?
7. Won't use harsh profanity. I aint gon' use the eff word, the inn word, or the bee word at all; you might see the occasional wtfreak, ish, p'o'd, or damn. I think I may have used the word pissed one time or two, but that was pushing it for me. Now I aint gon' lie, sometimes I'd like to use those words mentioned above. :0
8. S.ex.u.al or Po.rno.grap.hic Content = Pullllleassse! Hey, we're talking private personal parts here. TMI!!! Private business! Do we really know each other like that? Hell naw, I aint going out like that.

    

That's all I could think of right off the bat. Some would even argue that there's nothing left to talk about…LOL! As a matter of fact my friend did...LOL. However, I'm not an under-cover blogger. I know some of my family folks, friends and co-workers all read my blog. They're not BIG on commenting though; they send emails... ahem...plus I aint all about discussing or conversing these things in real life with people. It's just who I am. 

I know some people go under-cover to discuss these things, and some don't care who knows what. To each his own, right?! More importantly, I'm just a general happy-go-lucky combusationalist (< --- yes I did …again hehe). I know you read my one-liner in the heading. :) Just random ish…

As for the writing side of me, I'd thought about creating another blog which actually tells a story. I'd include chapter after chapter of a bunch of lies interesting tales. Each entry or post would be a chapter or sub-chapter creating a novel. Just to see the reaction…of course I would go wayyyyy under to do this. I've read where another writer did this and eventually published a book.

Why?

I love browsing the web. I love checking out new blogs and websites. But why is it when I open some pages, loud music hits me before the page completely loads and most cases the player is hidden and I can't turn the DAMN thing off. When I finally find  the player and turn it off and browse to another page within the site, the music is banging again once I return to the homepage. That's ludahhhh!

I'm usually out of there, and never returning at this point. I honestly think it's rude to force music down my earlobes. Give me a option once I get there. Most times I'm listening to iTunes and those types of pages are interrupting my groove. I'm jus sayin'. Oooh....Plus what's the point?!!!!!!

Myspace folks, I understand it's your space and options like these are widely available to set up your page. Plus, I only visit the pages of people I know there, but other pages with .com addresses, come on now?!

Why I Write Here

Writing keeps me in tune with my thoughts and energies. Writing to me is a language which defines mental integrity. I write here because there are no rules, other than the ones I set for myself. I write here because I may have had a bullcrap day and writing calms my mental conditions. I write here, because I like giving you a little part of me.

I write here because I'm excited about my latest adventure or disturbed -- which ever comes first if not in sync with each other. I write here because I freaking love to write and have been doing it since elementary school. I write here because you make me. I write here because my days are long and all I do is think of here while I'm there.

I write here because I need to and I want to and I have to. I write here because it's what I do, it's who I am, it's my high-rise, it's my drug injection without a needle, it's everything I am and was born to be. I write here because I wouldn't have it any other way.

Until next post...
