The online world is quickly blurring the line between virtual and reality. We share so much of our lives sometimes in blogs that are readily accessible to the entire world. I know they did a news report on the danger of having public blogs. I didn't see it. That would require watching TV and I didn't even watch the new Simpson's Treehouse of Horror on Sunday despite actually wanting to. I totally forgot to record it as well. Good grief.
Anyway, so I was contemplating this as I sat here in class listening to my instructor say "um" more times than I'm comfortable with and reading Aaron's blog. I even posted a comment. I'm usually a long-time reader never-time commentor because I'm too lazy. Then I jumped over to his wife's blog and read a little more. They are very open and expressive in sharing about their family and I began to think more about the warnings when I went to the blog of a friend of mine from high school. She is taking her blog private out of those privacy fears and wanted people to post their email addresses for access.
Do I share too much? Do I care? Is this another instance of giving into the terrorists if I take this thing private? At last common sense arrived and I realized that nobody probably reads this thing anyway. I'm not in "the group" and neither is my wife. Her blog was just recently visited by some of them and I sent her my blog address. My latest check still showed no link to my blog on her site. *sigh* Not even my wife wants to read my blog. DOH!!
Well I reckon I should probably pay attention again and let this post to the world of one...that would be me. Perhaps the only way I will ever see much of the world until I graduate is through the eyes of their blogs. Perhaps.

Ah oh, you've got a visitor!! :) Don't worry I'm not a terrorist though. Just that friend from HS taking her crazy (why would anyone want to read it anyways) blog private. After thinking about it for awhile and hearing more about all the filth out there I figured I'd prefer to know who was checking in on our family... mostly since I post so many pix of my children. I have always tried to be careful about posting too many details but sometimes you don't know if you've said too much til it's too late. Who knows? I'd probably never see any problems but I'm not willing to take the chance anymore. There's too much out there I can't control so I've got to control what I can. ;) How's that for rambling?!
