If you're wondering why I haven't been blogging much lately... well, part of it is that I felt the increasing need to censor myself. "Oh, people won't want to read about that," or "You can't write that; it'll piss some people off" and such. But then I thought about it - I was never really into self-censoring, and I don't know why lately I've felt the need for it. Maybe because the blog world has gotten so much larger, reaching a larger audience, that I feel like there are more possibilities to unintentionally offend someone. Maybe it's because I'm afraid that any potential employers might discover my blog (even though I've never mentioned my last name). Maybe it's because if I bitch about the current administration (govt) too much, I'll be labeled an "enemy combatant" and thrown in jail indefinitely (they don't need proof or even charges - they can just hold you for as long as they deem necessary). Maybe it's because, well... because my life is boring, and I don't want to bore anybody. Or, maybe it's a combination of all of those things.
Either way, I'm trying to blog more, just because I think I need to express myself more. Not having a job for so long, it's really taken a toll on my interpersonal skills. I've never really been good at talking with people, and it's only gotten worse lately. Now, I know that nothing can replace face-to-face interactions, but at least I can get some practice talking and forming coherent sentences on here.
So, that's where I am right now.
That said, please, don't read any further if you have delicate sensibilities...
Please excuse the frank talk; this subject matter doesn't really lend itself to polite conversations, no matter how delicate you try to be.
OK, so you know what I hate? I hate when you're taking a shit, and it's almost all the way out, and then your sphincter snaps shut prematurely. Because you know that whatever's left to go won't go easily. You know that you'll be stuck there for at least another few minutes. Seriously. Do you know what I'm talking about? Because then you've got to make a decision - did you get enough out that you can just "add it to the next load," or do you stay there and finish the job. Either way, you lose. If you take the first option, you've got to deal with a little discomfort for a while, because that puppy still wants to get out and join its friends, so you can't stray too far from the bathroom, in case it makes a break for it. If you take the second option, well... you're stuck for a little while as your ass relaxes enough so that you can attempt another purge. And sometimes, that takes a LONG time. It's a bit frustrating.
Anyway.
So, how is your day going? Me, I'm heading out to a job fair. Wish me luck!
(Oh, and BTW, in case you're wondering, everything came out OK, so that won't be an issue at the job fair)
