Why Not Blog?
I am home sick from work today. I woke up at the usual time, felt like I had been hit by a truck, and made the easy decision to call my supervisor. I forced myself out of bed to make the call, which prompted the cat to remind me that it's her breakfast time; so, I went down stairs, fed her, and started looking for my humidifier. I found it and got it going as quickly as possible. Then, I passed out in my bed again for about three and a half hours. I awoke feeling MUCH better than I had. The dryness of the air must have done a number to my sinuses. That combined with the somewhat busy weekend I had being on call for work really beat me up.
Now that I'm feeling among the living, I thought I'd blog.
Before logging in to write, I usually glance at my website's homepage and scan the most recent twitter messages and my previous blog. The top two "tweets" and the blog this time around were pretty negative in nature. Some might even say they are "scathing." In my latest tweet, I state that "talkers (at open mic) should have their tongues cut out," and in the latest blog entry, I rip irresponsible pet owners a-new-one.
Both the tweet and the blog have illicited some responses from friends and acquantances in regards to the angry words.
It's true. They are angry words. And there is certainly no use of a "filter" in either the tweet or blog.
And, truly, that's the way it should be.
Ladies and Gentlemen. The blog and the tweets... they are full to the brim of opinion. Not fact. And we are all entitled to our own opinions.
They are also blatant exaggerations of actions that I don't even intend to take (for example: I'm not actually going to cut anyone's tongue out). I was mad at the talkers. I stated in jest that they "should have their tongues cut out."
If I intended to cut someones tongue out, I don't think I would post it for the world to know... or would I?
Truth is, I vent on the blog at times. It's therapeutic. And rather than just complain to a friend or two, I throw my thoughts and feelings into a blog so other people who might share a frustraction can commisserate with me. Misery loves company. Consider it another purpose for the blog: to find more miserable people when I'm miserable. And also to find more happy people when I'm happy. To find more awesome people... because I'm awesome.
So, please don't think my scathing irrate blogs are illustrations of my intent to harm or maim. Rather, just to share my thoughts and feelings in a fun and somewhat disturbing way.
Peacefully yours,
JF
