/ignore
Wow, has it been a week already? Had to take a bit of a break after my previously, lengthy diatribe. Funny how I stress myself out about posting stuff like that. I can't begin to tell you how many of those I've written and saved and then deleted unpublished. I've been so conditioned (self-conditioned really) to keep my thoughts and opinions to myself (as if that even seems possible -- hehe), that I still get nervous when I really lay something down in print. Okay, I'm never at a loss to express my thoughts on whatever topic is at hand, but that's in the company of my kith (as opposed to around strangers or kin). Maybe it's that I have an easier time writing than speaking. Or maybe it's just that I still wonder if anything I have to say is really worth saying.
Most of the time when my brain starts firing out thoughts, my tongue can't keep up. Maybe if I talked like the Micro Machines Man this wouldn't be a problem, but even he worked from a script. Writing allows me time to craft my words. Guess that's true for most. It's like I have this disconnect in my brain that delays the comebacks from arriving in my speech center until they're long since apropos.
I don't know what I'm afraid of really. A blog is a very safe, expressive medium. Short of getting hacked, the power going out, the server crashing, or my ISP locking me out, I'm in complete control here. lol
I can "say" and "do" anything I want and you can't do squat about it (save leave) because, if I don't like what you have to say, I can simply delete your comments and ignore you.
/ignore
hehe
Just kidding. Ever wish /ignore would work in real life? Come to think of it, it does actually. It's one of the reasons wars get started.
Ignore: the first two syllables in the word "ignorance."
