Lately, I've been considering posting a "spill my guts" kind of Sunday post. I'm wondering if it might be cathartic. I'm also wondering if it might be lame. I'm wondering if I might have the courage to lay it all out there, not worrying about who might read it and who might get hurt in the process. Myself included.
I guess it might be interesting and I guess I might do it, but I think it might be painful.
I guess I'm wondering what the real point of A blog, MY blog, is. I want us all to be entertained almost all of the time, but I wonder how brutal it might be to get down to heart of the matter once in awhile.
People, what do you think?
It's just a thought. And requires more thinking,...but right now, I'm thinking "why the hell not?"
**Edit - I've just read this post in the sober light of day, and decided after reading my "spill-my-guts" post on Sundays, you should all come over to my place for a hootenany! No, a group hug! No, no, no, a CUDDLE PARTY!! Yeah!
It seems I've gone mental on account a' the kimchi! How's that for a confession?
What I'm meaning to say is: Sunday Night Blog Therapy? - Not going to happen. It's been cancelled due to sobriety.

Hmmm...that's a tough one and I would say it totally depends on you. Some people are comfortable in baring their soul on their blogs and find it therapeutic in writing down their inner-most thoughts. The biggest problem I can think of is in how many people you personally know that read your blog - are you comfortable in posting something you may not say to them in person?
Again, it's up to you. I'm more of an introvert and a very private person so I don't do a lot of personal posting over at my blog.
Hi Nomad!
I think you're right. I get some pretty stupid ideas after a few beers. Actually, not too many people I know read this blog. I've only told one of my friends about it (Goldie) and I don't think he even bothers to check it, because I don't see any comments from him.
He would probably laugh his ass off at the idea of a Sunday night confessional, and call me a "lame-o" or something more profane.
Did you do any fishing today? How's your knee?
Jenn,
I wouldn't call it a stupid idea. People find different ways to let it all out and you have to find the one that works for you and that you're comfortable with. If you haven't guessed by now, for me it's fishing because I can get away from everything and everyone for a few hours. Solitude is the best therapy I've found so far. Being able to combine that with an activity I love (fishing) gets me double bonus points.
As for your blog, you'd probably be surprised who's reading. The majority don't like leaving comments though, which is ok, unless you're blogging to get comments.
Bare it all, I say!

If you're looking for comments there is nothing like a rant to bring them out. Because someone is bound to disagree with you.
John,
Good comment(s). Heh, you've only been here, what...6 or 7 months? Now try to imagine what it'd be like if you were away from the states since 1993 :).
Hi Nomad!
John: Now that you've imagined being away from the States since 1993, take some time to imagine that you are a little girl in Argetina, and you're angry because your brother keeps stealing your dolls.
Goooooood.
Hey thanks for the input fellas. I may very well just spill guttage from time to time, but decided if I did so it would be when the mood struck me, rather than feeling the pressure to have to create and emote every Sunday.
I really do appreciate the comments though...
Hey Joel, if someone disagrees with me, I think I'd prefer a spanking to a comment.
