Just a bit of advice. It's one thing to have a blog and discuss ideas, it's quite another to have an open diary.

It's one thing to have a blog and discuss ideas, it's quite another to have an open diary.Usually people turn these things into online diaries. They blab on about every little personal thought they have during the day, what they had for breakfast, which hand they wiped their ass with, where they went, what they did. That may be cool with some people, but it's just a way to incriminate yourself for something. You never know who will read it. At the very least, some random dickhead from the other side of the globe will be able to read all about your personal life and say to themselves, "Gawd, what a fucking idiotic self-important loser." Does some asshole in bumblefuck Egypt really deserve to know the real you? Then what value does that give to your honesty and openness towards the people around you that you really think are deserving of that from you? Kinda makes you an "honesty slut".To prove my point, when I ever get bored enough and subject myself to reading some random someones blog, I usually say to myself, "God, what an idiot."

Someone reading it to make fun of you is a reasonable consequence. Someone reading it to stalk you or to use that information in a harassing way is another. I won't mention any specifics but one well known internet personality once blogged an incredibly personal subject. He removed it but not fast enough. Later a bunch of retarded adolescents from other countries started sending incredibly harassing e-mails. I found this story out from one of them who years later tried to be friends with the guy that he had sent the offensive e-mails to. He acted as if he knew the guy personally. That's very creepy to me.
