I wanted to title this post the “F-YOU” post, but didn’t.
Just in a crappy mood.
I have so much to do and don’t feel like doing any of it.
I often wonder, do I post on this blog really for “me” or for “you”? I think about hosting a private blog for me only where I can rip on how much I hate our government, or how I’m completely jealous of so-in-so and I wish they would suffer just a little. I want to post when my family or friends piss me off. But, I know I shouldn’t and that it would just bite me in the ass and piss people off.
Do you “REALLY” post for you when you blog? Or do you do it because you just want to promote your business, keep people interested in you, share ideas, or want attention?
I’m going back to painting and maybe later I’ll feel better and change my mood.
Debating about whether to allow comments on this post, but figured, what the hell - just don’t tell me “aww, I’m sorry you are feeling this way”. I might bite your head off.
Some Love,

It’s *your* blog, you should be able to say what you want. I have a blog but I haven’t shared it with anyone. I do it for me. I put stuff on there that I don’t necessarily share with others. I can kind of speak my mind but I’m careful because like you said, it could turn around and bite me on the ass and then I’d have some folks upset. Your self-photo is great and I thought “tiger” came to mind and I found a photo for you: http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/72269768.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193CC300C081D9F4700FEC011F5452DA7DF282176C8A6DE899EA55A1E4F32AD3138 I love tigers. I used a photo of a growling tiger in on of my Ali E’s ‘daily something’ flickr group entries ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/64193962@N00/1277539161/in/set-72157601524607556/). Maybe look through Flickr or Google image search and find some photos that represent how you’re feeling today and make a LO about it. ?? Take some down time for yourself. I hope you’ll be feeling more like yourself soon.
I have two blogs - both are pretty shiny happy. My personal one is functional as it keeps my family in England up to date with what we are doing and they can see the latest pictures of my daughter. I honestly don’t know why I do a scrapbooking blog. I’m fairly sure nobody reads it unless they stumble across it by accident. Want some chocolate? I’m already on my second bar today.
First — LOVE THE PHOTO!!!! How many times do I feel just that way!! I have a blog — I really don’t care who “visits” it — its my blog and I post whatever. Does it hurt feelings — maaaaaaybe, probably not could it sure — but it is my blog! I figure if you get pis*ed reading it stop — Chocolate Martini for you!!! treats for your babies:)

This is why I read your blog. You don’t pretend that everything is happy, shiny, lovely all the time. Life just isn’t that way so why should your blog be? It seems that people are scared to be real, have bad days, think bad thoughts for fear of other people and how they might think. My guess is that everyone feels this way but they just don’t admit it. Be real, be who you are and let the chips fall where they may. At least you are true to yourself.
I don’t have a blog so I can’t really answer that. I personally think it’s a breath of fresh air when folks are real on their blog. Love that photo - it makes me want to scream (in a good way).
Well to answer your question I absolutely have no idea who I post for… my CT’s, a few friends?, me? Like you I don’t want anything to come back and “bite me in the ass”!! However, I do go by somewhat of an alias on the internet only because I don’t want my personal life to be part of my professional life (does that make sense??). I’m in education and don’t want any students/parents to google me…hehehe!!! Oh and I have a private weight loss blog that I vent about everything on!!! Sometimes I feel better after I vent… even if nobody reads it but me!!! It just feels good to get it out… ya know.
Anyway I like it that you tell it like it is!! Pissy, sad, happy… whatever! And to H*** with anyone who doesn’t like it… guess they don’t have to read!
So would you rather I said ‘bite me’?!?!?
still… love u

I think you should blog what you want to. I check out your blog because it’s real, and all the cool pics ( you have major talent ).
I have a blog and it’s for me. Not many people check it out, so it bothers me not. I write on it and post on it because it’s easier than writing in a journal. I write what I want, say what I want, and post what I want. I think having a scrapping blog and not being able to post personal stuff is stupid.. I post everything that I want because it’s my blog. It’s not all shiny or happy. Since I fly by the seat of my pants with my life and it’s feelings {because that is how I live my life, feeling it} I write what I am pretty much feeling at any time.
I do have the blog to use for DT gigs that I try out for, because they all want to see it or check it out for some reason. Although I am not really sure why…
I don’t care if my words bite me in my big ole’ butt either. It’s my blog with my words and I won’t step aside to make sure I am doing the “right” thing or “saying” the right words. I figure if someone doesn’t like it then that’s their opinion I can respect that but that won’t stop me from dancing around anything that I feel like writing about.
I think you are entitled to say what you want, be what you want, do what you want. After all, isn’t that why you were created? There is only one you, so be that and forget about all else.
I have two blogs one for everyone, one for invited guests only!I love the private blog, that way I know what I’m saying and showing are just for people who really care about my well being. I’m sick of the nicey nice crap. Tell me something real, tell me you’re real and not just a SB machine. I’ve started to align myself with the “real” and things are turning around. YAH! I was stuck in that other world for too long.
Go HOLLY GO! Come on over the “bright” side you’re welcome anytime.
How is the painting going?

Hehe, I am kinda scared to comment!!
I just had an “F- You” moment too but was to chicken to say what I felt. See, that is what I like about you, you tell it like it is, no holds barred.
I have those days. I just make those a private post so I can go back and read them, but… no one else has to see them.
I feel you!!!! I post for me on the personal blog and clients on the photo blog. I am not trying to impress anyone anymore.
….I don’t censor myself on my blog too much…I started the whole thing for my family…when I moved away from home, it seemed like a good way for my mom and family to keep in touch with me and see what I’m up to on a regular basis…peace of mind for them..=) And it’s also a great daily journal for me. And now it’s also become a great place to share what I like and what I do with people I’ve met online, too…And now people like my new mother-in-law and hubby’s friends check it out, too…so I definatley save the rants for somewhere else, now…It’s not like I want to discuss much about political views, anyways…just wanna share what I make and what I’m doing this week. ya know? I think it’s free reign, though…say what you want! And definatley make some place for yourself to get the angry thoughts out..it’s therapeutic..the only way I can clear my head is by writing that stuff down!!
