Perils of Blogging

This past year and in the past months, I have not written as many posts as I have in earlier years and in earlier months.

I find myself putting up posts (a global reply to ALL) that I later and almost immediately regret, followed by a very long break from blogging to cool down and ban the topics that get me into trouble like certain products.

I've become afraid to blog. During a wedding attendance, I noticed my brother whom I rarely see would frequently cut off my conversation (in a kind way) because I breached some social taboo.

I know better, but I am not always in one mind. Even though I don't drink, don't smoke, and don't use any substances or medication, I still find naturally "intoxicated" sometimes from fatigue, low oxygen, low sugar or something. The posts that I write in this state typically contain the most errors as well.

I didn't really think much of guidelines, but it seems to be effective to have a quick set of rules that do not require thinking, such as not talking about people, products. I removed my past company affiliation from the front page of my blog.

I also seem to harbor some amount of negative energy. In addition to guidelines, I'll probably eventually have people screen my posts.

Sorry, if I offend anyone. Please leave an anonymous comment on any offense and I'll try to make any changes.
