Ah, I am an equal-opportunity blogger but sometimes I do wish I'd done a better job about keeping this blog a secret. I think it would be easier for me to get shit out if I didn't worry about friends reading it. Which is really a lesson to learn for me -- by the very definition of the word FRIEND, it's totally contradictory to worry about such a thing.
I started blogging in 1999. No joke. I started doing it on my own personal site in a spreadsheet format I designed myself. It wasn't even called blogging yet. And in 2002, I started using this site, Diaryland, that was going to be the BIG social networking site (but then, so was Friendster)… Onto MySpace, then here… Kids, I have ginormous binders with printed out blog entries you would not believe.
So I started blogging to express myself and then I started sharing it with friends because after I left New York to come back to LA, I had a hard time expressing myself to THEM…
Which brings us back to where I began – to share or not to share.
I’ll keep thinking about it and working on it – I promise – and in addition to promising to blog more soon, I wanna leave you with two vastly different but poignant things that made me cry tonight. Partially because they touched me and partially because I am emotionally exhausted (and worse than that -- what is the word for MORE than exhausted?)...
First, this article, which totally broke my heart... My goodness, how are there people this cruel and evil... http://www.thejc.com/news/world-news/26630/french-cemetary-vanadalised-neo-nazis
And also, this performance from the Grammy Awards... Pink kicked the most ass that night but Lady Antebellum is the performance I keep watching over and over.
