Thoughts and Wonderments of the Bloggoshpere
Thoughts on a blog are like yelling words in public. Most people don't listen because they don't want to, and those that can hear are generally annoyed by something about the words being spoken. The ability to scream anything in public is also why blogs are so free, one can post up whatever gibberish imaginable with no consequence or backlash less there is a background check on the individual. Like yelling things in public, the words you say can be remembered by someone who was not intended as a listener.
Hopefully I shout words harmless enough for all to hear through the ages without being droll, dull, and repetitious and all the while appealing to the most common denominator, without a bite in the ass in the future. I'm sure as the posts become more common place, my reservations will rare; however no consequence of online action is ever immediate, there is always a period of hope when one thinks they could get away, or not be victimized by something. Ordering from a scam seller on e-bay, identity theft, posting risque things on book face, can take from a single day to years to actually be tangible to oneself in the analog world. What will come of me in the bloggosphere? My best hope is nothing. No ineffectual "fan base", damnable words, or any insights into me being a walking contradiction (though Jefferson did the latter, I think he came out fine). Just words with a select few readers and nothing more thought of it in the future. Until I intend for the words to be heard by everybody, especially the public.
Vocab Words of the Week:
1) adjudicated: To pronounce or decree; To settle or determine judicially; to sit in judgment.
2) faugh: Interjection (or to express contempt or disgust)

Most folks won't mind being considered droll.
