Congrats to my little brother, who will soon start a new job at WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh!

I’m trying to ignore the weirdness that will surely manifest itself over this fact…assboy’s brother-in-law is a meteorologist at WTAE. But that’s my issue, not his. 😛

On blogging

So I’ve gotten to wondering…how personal is too personal? On the one hand, fancying myself a bit of a writer, everything is out there. My life is an open book…er, blog…I tend to write fiction out of personal experience, and most of what happens in my life will probably end up in a short story/essay/novel/screenplay one day. (At least I hope so!)

But the blog forum is strange. My own blog is a mixture of personal insights, pop culture, social/political commentary, links, and journal. Sometimes my purpose is to rant; sometimes it’s to entertain; sometimes it’s personal catharsis. My closest friends read it. My family (occasionally) reads it. Random strangers read it. And it’s concievable that the subject of a particular post could stumble across it. Is this wrong? Should I be more guarded about what I put into this forum?

Thoughts? 🙂
