Nowhere (Wo)Man

June 17, 2008

I feel like the guy in the Beatles song, sitting in my Nowhere Land, making all my Nowhere Plans for Nobody.   I have not publicized my blog to anyone other than having left it in a few comments, so other than random blog surfing,  there is no way for anyone to have found it.  That’s okay for now.  I’ve thought about letting some of my friends know, particularly my small group of “Internet friends.” (Although they are much more than that now, they have become “real” friends)  Then I wouldn’t have to update as well as send e-mails.  But I think it takes away something to be relating via blogs and comments, versus just plain e-mailing when we have something to say.    I would feel a bit arrogant saying,  if you want to know what’s up with me, go to my blog, I will no longer, be e-mailing you.  No – that doesn’t work for me.

So, I might tell them, just for fun.   I haven’t told Greg, which feels a little sneaky, a little bit of a lying by omission.  If he ever asked me if I had  a blog, I’d say yes.  But I know he’d find it silly, a waste of time, and probably a little bit embarrassing.   I’m fairly sure he wouldn’t like the idea of some of the personal details of our relationship being published on the web.    That’s also why I do it semi-anonymously.  I’ve been reading a number of blogs lately, on MS and other topics, which are published publicly with the writers’ first and last names.  I’m definitely not comfortable with that.  I very definitely wouldn’t want my employees finding or reading it.      So maybe I should stop.    Nah.
