Why?
Why do we blog online? Why do we write our feelings and happenings here, on the internet for everyone to see and read?
You know what? I don't know anymore. Why I ever felt it was okay to talk about anything personal when a lot of people know that I write here, and because I'm an idiot and hooked my blog to twitter, and therefore to Facebook. At one point I enjoyed writing on my blog and garnering opinion, and in some cases I'll admit, a little bit of commiseration and even pity when things didn't go right, and congratulations when things did.
I haven't been writing much lately because more and more I wonder why I do blog. I like sharing ideas and events and happenings, but the more I was blogging, the more I was looking for that was too personal, not only for my own things, but maybe things that were going on around me.
Am I going to keep blogging? Well, it's been a long freakin time, so I would say practice says now, but I honestly don't know why I should or shouldn't.
So what's up with me? I don't know what I can say and can't say about a lot of things, ya know:) We had the water heater replaced the other day and on the same day, we lost our heat. nice eh? So psyched. Turns out it was nothing and the electric company we use has an insurance thing that we can pay a few dollars a month to to cover our major appliances. Thankfully, that includes the heater:) Turns out it was nothing thank goodness.
Can't talk about work because I usually don't, and not gonna talk about my sex life because that's none of your damn business 
but the kids are good, and Fae and both kids still think I'm cool, so it's all good.

You know, I’ve often wondered myself why some of us feel the pull to blog. I love to write, to really challenge myself to find something funny, or deep inside of me and to put it into words. And when I first started doing this and started getting a few readers and commenters, it was an incredible feeling… validation. But on the flip side, when people from my real life discovered my blog, it freaked me out and I moved to a new address to try to regain my privacy. I’m not sure why that bothered me so much. I think it’s because in blogging, I allow myself to think and to write what I’m really feeling, when so often I hide those things from the people who know me.

Still makes me wonder if I should do it anymore tho you know what I mean? I like it, but sometimes it’s a chore, sometimes it’s relieving, sometimes it makes me nervous how close I skirt to things that might burn me.
Got a lot to think about.

Hey, Matt Daddy!
I left Fae a voicemail and sent e-mail, but never heard back. So in case she didn’t get my messages…I’m swamped prepping for our next edit, which starts on the 16th, plus trying to finish getting ready for holiday travels. I’ll go into the edit room on the 16th and probably be working around the clock to get the episode wrapped in time to leave for Texas. So no Yule for me this year.
I miss you guys SO much! My January and February schedules are totally up in the air. But when I know, I’ll let you guys know. Maybe we can celebrate a late/second Yule.

Hey Matt -
I feel somewhat the same about blogging. Sometimes I think I want lots of people to read my blog but then again I am thrilled when I can write stuff down and only a few people know my blog even exists.
I guess I tend to run the risk of not being politically correct or saying some shit about someone I know. Sometimes I even make a typo and don’t even care.
I will say, that I enjoy your blog when I get a chance to get on and read it… Just blog when you want and be happy.
Have a Merry Christmas

it’s true Kandee, I feel that way sometimes too. Problem is, my boss reads my blog, so I really can’t say everything I want to, even if it’s not work related.
Have a happy holiday everyone!
