Don't we do a lot of jumping around in our lives, not star jumps and the like (though naked leap-frog is my personal favourite) but in playing so many characters.
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,"
The point I was trying to get across yesterday was simply about my blog, when I read it it sounds like me but it's not entirely.
This is my blog voice, it is different from my friend voice, which is different from my brother voice, and so on ...
We do it seamlessly, and totally without being two-faced, I know today I'll be at least four slightly different people. Five if you count "Blog-Nev"
Maybe it's a little sad that some friends and my family won't get to see the whole picture (Jonah excluded, I have said some experiences and words with that guy!)
But really, I see whoring out your thoughts and feelings like whoring out your body - sure it may be fun for a time, but I'd much rather share everything with just one.
An open book ... just some of the best pages are missing.

LOVE THIS! I completely get that about a blog voice. Even though I see my blog as a place for personal outpour, I don't just write it in any old way, it's not like an outpour as such. It's an initial thought, which I will then shape and re-write into something ... well readable for someone else. It's not perfectly honest, because of that awareness that others may be reading it. Odd. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd say I write everything 100%, give it a look over and remove anything that's T.M.I. and normally I leave about 90% in.
ReplyDeleteI do make sure I'm perfectly honest on how I feel, avoiding saying something can be as bad as lying sometimes.
As for mentioning people, they'll normally be refered to by name, I would wanna be doing my bitching online!
I just advertised on Facebook that I'm going to do a Twilight-blog. God help me. :P
