I’m a crappy blogger

making an effort

To be a good blogger requires and honesty.  It’s the same problem I used to have when I was little and had a diary.  I used to write in my diary KNOWING my mother would read it-so I wasn’t completely honest.  “ Dear Diary, I really love mowing the lawn and can’t wait to do it on Saturday.” I’d also try deflect attention to my other siblings.  “Dear Diary, I told Mikelle if I catch her sneaking out the basement window at midnight to go jump on the neighbor’s trampoline one more time, I’m going to tell!” Consequently, I think I defeated the whole purpose of having a diary-a secret place to work out your most intimate thoughts.  I could never get over the idea that once you write something down, you have to assume it’s possible for the whole world to read it someday.  You know on some huge interactive thing like the internet.  So I’m going to make a real effort to semi-regularly blog and will probably mostly lie.
