An Alternative to Going Private

First of all, let me say that the blogging world needs to come up with some new terminologoy. "Going private" just sounds............naughty. Okay, it seems every time I open Google Reader to see everyone's happenings I read this phrase more and more often: "we are going private." One could argue that the reason everyone is going private is so that I won't read their blog.....hmmmm......come to think of it, I have only been invited to ONE blocked blog so far....hmmmm.....but, I digress. I just wanted to present an alternative to going private. Many who read my blog have noticed that I only use initials for the kids' names. I do not include too many details or specifics. Someone might be able to determine what state or even what county I live in, but it would be pretty hard to determine much else from reading what I have written. I do not forecast a lot of events that we may be doing in the future. People may understand some aspects of my job, but I don't share where I work. I show pictures from around my home, but do not give a broad picture of either the inside or outside. I certainly don't post pictures of my license plate or other really identifying information. I consider all of these to be only tiny little countermeasures however.

You want to know my real secret? I am going to give you such a good piece of advice, you should pay me for it! The reason people don't read my blog is because I am sooooo boring!!!! Yes, it's true, if only you all could make your blogs as boring as mine, no bad people (well, maybe just no people period) would ever WANT to read it! I mean if you combine my bad writing, poor grammar, lame poems, stupid thoughts, and ADD moments, it is amazing I even take the time to proofread back through it! The only interesting thing I have going for me are my kids. Now, I know this talent does not come naturally to any of you. What can I say? It is a gift. You all will just have to work to try to be more like me. You know, be less than you naturally are. In the end, maybe, just maybe it would be a better alternative than going private. What do you think? :)
