It's interesting that with such a crazy life, I find so little to write about. I think it's part of the blog problem. Nobody talks about their feelings on blogs, because the people who read their blogs are their friends, and the people who they'd most likely discuss are their friends.

It's not as if we go somewhere else in the world and become someone different for a brief time, only to return as someone else who can write unfettered by complaint or molestation from those indicted by their tales.

I could change all the names, but those who know me know who I'm talking about.

So what do I write about? Musings? Harmless fictions?

Ugh.

Assuming these are the only options, I'd say musings.

As for myself, I don't know you well, but I've enjoyed reading your stuff when you find the time to post.

Scrap the sentimental nonsense and go for the throat! Your readers deserve the juiciest content unmitigated by social considerations. Look at Kerouac, Henry Miller and Louis Ferdinand Celine. Ruthless, tell-all bastards that ENTERTAINED.

I have the same problem.... that's why I don't publish my blog. :) But I still think you should keep posting... just sayin'.

I agree with Carnival Obscura. :) I love Kerouac.

Friends can either engage criticism and weigh it against the degree to which they are concerned about your judgments (and their ability to interpolate your perceptions with their internal self-image) or they can choose to never know truth in its various forms (reality, perceptions from people they care about, etc).

I've only known a couple of people who took liberty with being themselves and saying their piece (on blogs) about anybody and everybody they regularly intersect. It isn't necessarily the best way to keep friends -- but there's an argument to be made that people who can't handle such circumstances are either not friends or are potentially toxic to maintain friendships with. I respect those people and trust them more because of their unflinching desire to understand and transmit truth.

Otherwise, I highly recommend talking about female sex toys and their novel adaptations by males for reasons including self-gratification and beyond. But no animal-shaped vibes, 'kay?
