Blogging turned out to be kind of boring. So until something else happens, this blog will be inactive from now on. Bye.
Why blog? January 23, 2006

So I’ve accidentally told a few people that I write a blog, and everyone asks me for a link. But I don’t want to share it. What’s the point of blogging if no-one reads it, they ask. Why keep it secret?
In my world, the answer is simple. I don’t want people to know who I am, because then I don’t have to fear any consequences of my writing. I can write about my job, my friends, everything, and I won’t run the risk of losing either job or friends. I write all day at work – reports, memos, Powerpoint presentations, et cetera. Here, I write because I love writing, and I want to have a place where I can write about stuff that’s personal, not work-related, or just rants. When I’ve written a post here, its essence doesn’t change depending on how many people read it or how many comments I get.
So, why write in a blog, they ask me. Why don’t keep it safe, where no-one can read it and you never run the risk of being discovered. Well, I do that too – and sometimes it’s pretty satisfying to get feedback on what you write. So I’ll keep the really secret stuff in my encrypted journal, and the semi-public stuff here. So if someone should read this – though it’s very unlikely, seeing as how I don’t advertise this blog anywhere – they can feel free to comment. Who knows, maybe some sound fellow or bird will pick up on this blog sometime and give some sound feedback.
Maybe even before hell freezes over. On a related note, that reminds me of an old joke that you’ve probably all heard before.

Very well. I really know fuck all what to do about this site, except that I know that I really need to start up my journalling again to stop my head from bursting. And I’m a bit curious about how much traffic a new blog that isn’t marketed in any way will generate. So, the ‘About’ page is now updated and correct.

Well, I guess this is it. I promised myself to never start a blog, but here I am. At least I won’t tell anyone about it.
