Outspoken
Here's a thought.
When you read someone's blog, what do you make of it? Is it the inner self of that soul searcher voicing out his / her very deepest feelings and emotions? Who blogs the thoughts? If that person were a bitch or bastard in real life, does she or he being able to pen down amazingly sensible and angelic phrases show you that (s)he's really capable of being nice? Just that we never really got to know him / her in the first place.
Or is it all faked… that blog is merely an escapism… to de-bitch the bitchiness otherwise ultra-magnified in reality. That the person who blogs is really an annoying, hated person in reality, and the blog becomes the sub-reality, a mere lie in efforts to qualify yourself "I'm really a nice person, but you have to know me online."
Interesting when you start to converse with yourself, you let your deepest unknown pretenses out in the open, then when you start to learn about who you really are, you allow yourself to sit back and observe your mind, recorded in daily post-its, shouted-out-loud to a selfish world.
Did you not give yourself a reason already? Truth is, yes, of course this is a mere facade, but interestingly, with time, the facade has begun to merge with reality. It's a spill-over effect, I'm relishing in it, because all these, the guises, the whispering hushes, and the trolling commotion, they've interestingly, served me quite well.

makes one wonder actually, if people are becoming more ‘real’ online than they are in reality.
this is scary.

It depends on whats your motive of having a blog in the first place.
To make money? Gain fame and popularity? Because everybody has one?
Or just to have a place to rant about things that you usually can’t among friends.
I don’t think its fair to truly judge someone just from their blog. If we learn to read between the lines, a blog can provides us with a glimpse of what someone really are but just on the surface.

Most don’t even know who they are, much less anyone else. Except Paris Hilton. Everyone knows Paris Hilton is actually a walking herpes monster in a blond wig.

I like those blogs are so obviously a medium for capturing the writer’s conversations with him/herself.
Think it’s relatively easy to determine which are the fakers…most times its by the tone of the blog voice…whether it’s directed inwards or to an audience. Often, it’s by how self-aggrandising that voice is.
Most ppl can’t deal with themselves honestly. THis makes their blogs as interesting to read, with some care and a lot of muck sifting, as a psychological case study.
Whadaheck am I going on about?? :0 Weekend, faster come….

human nature 101:
whether we want to admit it or not, human go through life wearing different masks… more than sometimes it’s confusing the wearer which is his/her real face and which is the mask..
