Blogging is a peculiar medium. I'm afraid it may not be the right one for me.
The idea is to document events and opinions. Unbiased documentation is an unachievable ideal. So the events reported on the blog represent one side of the event. Opinions are even more complicated. Once documented, the opinion becomes officially mine.
Now, the problem is - I am a Gemini. That should be explanation enough!
If not, I'll try to explain what a disaster blogging could turn out to be for a Gemini.
I'm different with every person I know.
If I were the same with any two people, the second wouldn't be necessary.
Blogging forces me to select words to represent what I feel or think - which is great. I love doing that. But I also take the risk of being taken seriously. It's not that I am not sincere in my writings. It's just that I can feel strongly about something and yet not feel strongly about it. Sounds contradictory? That's exactly it! I contradict without being hypocritical. Yes, it is possible. I am a living example.
So the question is whether to use this explanation as the introduction to my every post as a safety net or to write with complete freedom without any concern of being misunderstood...any suggestions?
