Originally Dissatisfied: Jan '10
This must stop.
January 7, 2010
This will be my last “Dissatisfied” post.
I will take the blame, and say that I should have given more thought to these issues:
1.Rather naively I suppose, I assumed that by my simply not using proper names for people, places and things that I may have been referring to in any given post, that I would be providing enough of a “cover” to ensure the ignorance of my readers.
2.I assumed that people who were reading me would GET that this blog was all about me having an outlet to VENT. Nothing more than that. Regardless of how angry or depressed or hopeful or insane I may have sounded during any given rant, it was much more about me than anything else about which I may have been ranting. You can’t be a human on this planet and not get that sometimes you – or someone in your sphere – finds yourselves blowing up about the blue banana in that awful painting hanging on someone else’s wall when REALLY your anger is completely displaced, needs to come out and the blue banana just happens to be there to stand in as the whipping post. Feel me? I should hope so.
3.Also rather naively, I assumed that my readers would not themselves make assumptions about the intention of my words AND would not read too deeply into my writing, thinking they knew who or what I was discussing when they actually might just be overthinking it.
4.And most importantly, I NEVER assumed that some people might choose to take so much time in conjuring up drama surrounding anything they thought I was saying that they would then actively seek to involve others. Let me just say for the record: I NEVER INTENDED to be hurtful toward anyone, nor was anything I ever wrote intended as an attack on anyone I know. Blue banana, people!
Ya’ll do know what a blog IS, right?
For those of you who are at this very moment screaming, “YES! YES WE KNOW! DON’T GO!” Fear not. I am going to create another blog. I have no idea as yet what it will be called, but – sadly – I won’t be actively linking on facebook. I initially thought that that was simply an easy way for those few who read me (and who care what I have to say) to easily find me. And it was. But apparently it also created unneeded controversy and, for Pete’s sake, can’t we all create enough of that on our own without help from others? (Really can.)
So… if you want to be included in the readership for my new blog, just send me a quick note, and I will make sure you know where to find it.
For those of you who HAVE gotten my writing intentions, I thank you. I hope you’ve enjoyed my dissatisfaction as much as I’ve enjoyed sharing it.
Moving is such a hassle! And it certainly guarantees said dissatisfaction. Ooh… the circle of life continues… hakuna matata, baby.
