The blog problem

So here's my problem, do you blog about people you know. Common sense tells you that you don't write your opinions about people you know (well or otherwise) into a blog. First of all blogs are too public, everyone can read stuff you put on, I mean everyone. Worse still, if you are opinionated and stubborn like I am, it can get you into all sorts of trouble.

There have been many occasions when something or someone has bothered me enough for me to vent steam publicly, like on a blog. But I never have, and I have always wondered what the consequences of something like that would be. For any of my friends reading this, you'll know this better than anyone, if you want to know what I think (for better or for worse), you only have to ask and often it doesn't even take that.

Sitting by myself in the US over the past few months has given me a certain sense of social isolation, I don't have too many people to crib about, as I don't know too many people :) It's been a welcome break for people, but it has also made me value my friendships and relationships all the more. But I'm digressing. I wish I had a larger audience or at least a more responsive one (hint hint) so I could get a broader perspective on this one.

ps. this is what happens if you spend 4 months away from your family in an alien country, you treat the wwweb as your dinner discussion area
