personally

i cannot consistently write something spectacular along either track, and cannot settle for mediocrity. haha! therefore, no weblog.

I vote for never writing about your personal life on your own blog, deleting any personal posts that might have ended up there in some drunken, drug-induced, or otherwise sucky day moment, and most importantly, never, ever, EVER, writing about someone else's personal life on her, or his, blog. I mean, who would be so presumptious to do such a thing? It's crazy. Stupid even. Jees. I'm flabbergasted at the mere mention it.

Cheers.

i just find the ability of some people to air their personal laundry in public fascinating, probably because i think i'm fairly far down at the other end of that spectrum (i barely air it privately). and because i find it so alien to my own behavior, i wonder what the motivation is.

and clearly, i am willing to settle for mediocrity. (or aspire to it?)

Sometimes it is nice to be able to just vent, or at least try and express feelings that you cannot deal with within yourself. Weblogging helps people do that. I personally do not weblog about feelings I have that are sensitive to me, but tend to comment on what I am doing, the non-important sort of comment that is trivial to everyone else.
