Just cause you can…
doesn’t mean you should;-) I spherically have a hard time with this:-)
I’ve run into the whole “googling” of people on more than one occasion and in more than one fashion. From searching to find out about new peeps to checking out what the “old” ones are doing as well…it’s a risky business. There’s this false intimacy that arises when you “discover” information about someone on the web-but it isn’t earned. True intimacy comes from the risk of self-disclosure. It requires some level of trust…I guess the interesting question given this then, is why the hell am I blogging:-)?! Am I inviting others into a superficially shared space? Maybe. Personally, I’d rather hear a story from a person than read it in FB or on their blog. But I will say that there are a lot of people I care for and can’t really give or get that kind of face time from. So I guess this is a medium of least resort-some small way to stay connected…I won’t even get into the motivational arrogance that probably drives posting-that’s a crappy perspective. I think I like the idea of just simply sharing…with anyone that’s interested enough to read:-)
