Song of the Day: The View, Modest Mouse
So...about two minutes ago, while I was carrying my computer from my downstairs up (that I may charge the battery--I've migrated to my room for computing for at least this weekend), I was thinking that I wanted to do something computer for a while, but I'd already (yeah, I've been being a loser all day) checked most of my regular sites, found a few new ones, and posted an entry over at my Xanga, uncluttering my browser a bit. Well...I'm not quite in the mood to hit up any of my overly many overdue emails (nor do I think that I have the time or attention span right now), and I wouldn't mind Blogspotting, but...nor am I really in the mood for content producing of much sort.
Well, then I sat down and changed my mind. That doesn't mean that I know about what I'm going to write yet, though.
I could write about swimming, but there's too much to cover there. I could talk about my almost getting myself killed by almost posting in a publicizing manner the link to this blog on my MySpace (*shudder*), but now that I flipped through the past few posts, I'm considering it again.
Why not? Well, obviously I write quasi-personal things on it (hence choosing to hide it from the Google-bot), impressions both on actions and people in general (though generally the former, and generally more absolute and basic to me), but there are also a lot of posts about which I'm relatively proud; thoughts that I think were really good, or long single-sided discussions, me turning over the same idea again and again before finally figuring out how I really feel about it. That's nice, but...I don't know if I really want everybody to see these; there are my close friends who already mostly know what I think about these things and will only see a bit more polish and details on these topics, but then there are people whom I know only through, say, swimming or friend-of-a-friend relationships who may get the wrong idea. So then the issue is really whether it really is better to get the wrong impression of a person rather than none at all. Hmm...yea or nay?
Meh, screw it; yea.
(I reference Jedele's blog if you know of it, this entry of mine, and my last year of high school.)

so...I say you should maybe just link to your xanga blog if you want to link to one. I'd put in all the entries that I liked and then give the link out freely or you could just get another blog and put up the posts you're proud of there and keep this one completely separate, but you kinda already have enough blogs as it is. Although you could use the Myspace blog feature for the posts you'd like people to read. Or you could just not do it at all. I wouldn't, which is why most people don't know about my Xanga, that's for me and the people I've told about it. No one else needs to hear me rant and rave about how much I don't like it here or most of the people (even though I put those under protected most of the time anyway b/c there's the off-chance that someone I didn't tell about my Xanga that knows it and reads it)...But this is just my take on it. Do what you want.
Thanks for the thoughts, Karen; anyways, the way I figure it, I probably throw around the thought that I have this blog enough, or put it around enough regardless, that even without search bots crawling the page, it's certainly accessible. So...now all the more so.
Oh, and I just...am not MySpace blogging because I have so many already. Namely...two which I'm really touching. But that's all that I need, anyways.
